Documentation

The source of the documentation is stored in the src/Resources/doc/ folder in this bundle

Link the calendar to a CRUD and allow create, update, delete & show events

1. Download CalendarBundle using composer

$ composer require tattali/calendar-bundle

The recipe will import the routes for you

Check the existence of the file config/routes/calendar.yaml or create it

# config/routes/calendar.yaml
calendar:
    resource: "@CalendarBundle/Resources/config/routing.yaml"

2. Create the listener

You need to create a listener class to load your data into the calendar and register it as a service.

This listener must be called when the event calendar.set_data is launched.

# config/services.yaml
services:
    # ...

    App\EventListener\CalendarListener:
        tags:
            - { name: 'kernel.event_listener', event: 'calendar.set_data', method: load }

Then, create the listener class to fill the calendar

See the doctrine listener example

// src/EventListener/CalendarListener.php
<?php

namespace App\EventListener;

use CalendarBundle\Entity\Event;
use CalendarBundle\Event\CalendarEvent;

class CalendarListener
{
    public function load(CalendarEvent $calendar)
    {
        $start = $calendar->getStart();
        $end = $calendar->getEnd();
        $filters = $calendar->getFilters();

        // You may want to make a custom query to fill the calendar

        $calendar->addEvent(new Event(
            'Event 1',
            new \DateTime('Tuesday this week'),
            new \DateTime('Wednesdays this week')
        ));

        // If the end date is null or not defined, it creates a all day event
        $calendar->addEvent(new Event(
            'All day event',
            new \DateTime('Friday this week')
        ));
    }
}

3. Add styles and scripts in your template

Basic functionalities

You will probably want to customize the Calendar javascript to fit the needs of your application. To do this, you can copy the following settings and modify them by consulting the fullcalendar.js documentation. You can also look at the options.ts file as an option reference.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar-holder');

    var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
        defaultView: 'dayGridMonth',
        editable: true,
        eventSources: [
            {
                url: "/fc-load-events",
                method: "POST",
                extraParams: {
                    filters: JSON.stringify({})
                },
                failure: () => {
                    // alert("There was an error while fetching FullCalendar!");
                },
            },
        ],
        header: {
            left: 'prev,next today',
            center: 'title',
            right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay',
        },
        plugins: [ 'interaction', 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid' ], // https://fullcalendar.io/docs/plugin-index
        timeZone: 'UTC',
    });
    calendar.render();
});
