# react-native-big-calendar

Cross-platform gcal/outlook like calendar component for React Native.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **react-native-big-calendar v4 is the stable, actively maintained release line.**
>
> Development of the experimental v5 implementation (the swipe/gesture-driven rewrite that was
> published under the `next` npm tag) has been discontinued. Its code is preserved on the
> [`v5` branch](https://github.com/acro5piano/react-native-big-calendar/tree/v5) for reference only.
>
> If you are looking for a modern, gesture-driven calendar with virtualization and drag-and-drop,
> consider [super-calendar](https://github.com/afonsojramos/super-calendar) — a separate,
> ground-up library by [@afonsojramos](https://github.com/afonsojramos) with a different API.
> It is not a fork or an official v5, but it covers the direction the v5 experiment was aiming for.

### ⚠️ Help me to debug this component ⚠️

It's a hard task to debug this library on three platforms. I usually develop with the Web version first, then confirm its functionality with real devices. My PC is Linux and my phone is Android, so on Android it is easy to test, but to debug on iOS, I have to bring my Macbook Pro from my garage and connect my wife's iPhone and test it. Every time I launch my MacBook Pro, it requires updating Xcode or even performing a full system update.. It takes so long time to start debug. As React Native works on iOS better than Android, I ~~always~~ sometimes skip testing it, so there should be a bug on iOS. If you help me debug it, I would much appreciate!

[Components Demo](https://react-native-big-calendar.vercel.app)

# Features

- Cross Platform: Runs on the Web, iOS, Android with the power of React
- Type-safe: Fully written in TypeScript
- Customizable: Able to provide your own theme, and pass your component to render.
- Lightweight: ~9KB (min + gzip), dependency is `dayjs` and `calendarize`

# Install

```
npm install --save react-native-big-calendar
```

Or if you use Yarn:

```
yarn add react-native-big-calendar
```

### Other dependencies

Please ensure peer dependencies are installed.

```sh
npm install react react-native
```

### TypeScript

If you use TypeScript ensure `@types/react` and `@types/react-native` is installed. `react-native-big-calendar` internally uses them.

```sh
npm install --save-dev @types/react @types/react-native
```

### Usage on the Web

If you are using this module on the Web, please install `react-native-web`.

```sh
npm install react-native-web
```

If you are using Create React App, you are ready to go 🎉

For more details, please refer to the official react-native-web installation guide.

## EventRenderer

```typescript
type EventRenderer<T> = (
 event: ICalendarEvent<T>,
 touchableOpacityProps: CalendarTouchableOpacityProps,
) => ReactElement | null
```

For more information, see [Storybook](https://github.com/acro5piano/react-native-big-calendar/blob/main/stories/desktop.stories.tsx)

## ICalendarEventBase

```typescript
interface ICalendarEventBase {
  start: Date
  end: Date
  title: string
  children?: ReactElement | null
  disabled?: boolean
}
```

## HourRenderer

```typescript
type HourRenderer = {
  appm: boolean
  hour: number
}
```

## All day events

All day events should start and end on 0 in hour, minutes, and seconds (T00:00:00). For example:

```typescript
{
    title: 'all day event',
    start: "2021-12-24T00:00:00.000Z",
    end: "2021-12-24T00:00:00.000Z", // same date as `start`
}
```

## Using a custom event render function

You can specify custom event render function which receives the calculated `TouchableOpacity` prop and `event`.

- The function `renderEvent` must return a `ReactElement`.
- The component _should_ be wrapped inside a `TouchableOpacity` or _any_ DOM element which accepts positioning and click events (`onPress`, ...).

```typescript
export interface MyCustomEventType {
  color: string
}

const renderEvent = <T extends ICalendarEventBase>(
 event: T,
 touchableOpacityProps: CalendarTouchableOpacityProps,
) => (
 <TouchableOpacity {...touchableOpacityProps}>
 <Text>{`My custom event: ${event.title} with a color: ${event.color}`}</Text>
 </TouchableOpacity>
)

<Calendar renderEvent={renderEvent} />
```

## Displaying event's notes

Your events can contain a prop `children` An example can be found [here](./stories/events.tsx).

```typescript
const eventNotes = useMemo(
 () => (
 <View style={{ marginTop: 3 }}>
 <Text style={{ fontSize: 10, color: 'white' }}> Phone number: 555-123-4567 </Text>
 <Text style={{ fontSize: 10, color: 'white' }}> Arrive 15 minutes early </Text>
 </View>
 ),
 [],
)

export const myEvents: ICalendarEventBase[] = [
  {
    title: 'Custom reminder',
    start: dayjs().set('hour', 16).set('minute', 0).toDate(),
    end: dayjs().set('hour', 17).set('minute', 0).toDate(),
    children: eventNotes,
  },
]
```

## Theme

You can customize the calendar by passing the `theme` prop. `theme` should be like this interface partially:

```typescript
export interface Palette {
  main: string
  contrastText: string
}

export interface ThemeInterface {
  palette: {
    primary: Palette
    nowIndicator: string
    gray: {
      100: string
      200: string
      300: string
      500: string
      800: string
    }
    moreLabel: string
  }
  isRTL: boolean
  typography: {
    fontFamily?: string
    xs: Typography
    sm: Typography
    xl: Typography
    moreLabel: Typography
  }
  eventCellOverlappings: readonly Palette[]
  moreLabel: TextStyle
}
```

For example:

```typescript
const darkTheme = {
  palette: {
    primary: {
      main: '#6185d0',
      contrastText: '#000',
    },
    gray: {
      '100': '#333',
      '200': '#666',
      '300': '#888',
      '500': '#aaa',
      '800': '#ccc',
    },
  },
}

<Calendar
 height={SCREEN_HEIGHT}
 theme={darkTheme}
/>
```

## I18n

Please specity your locale via `locale` prop **and** import day.js locale file:

```typescript
import 'dayjs/locale/ja'

<Calendar
 locale="ja"
 {/* ... */}
/>
```

You can find your dayjs locale here:

https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/tree/dev/src/locale

## Enriched Events Logic (Performance Boost)

### Performant Data Structure

We create and cache a dictionary keyed by date with all the events properties plus the overlapping counting:

```
{
    [YYYY-MM-DD]: [
        {
            ...all event information,
            overlapPosition: int
            overlapCount: int
        }
    ]
}
```

### Multi-days events

When an event spans multiple days, we create a new event for each day it spans. For example, an event that starts on 2021-05-01 and ends on 2021-05-03 will be represented as 3 events, one for each day with the following time props:

```
--- First day
2021-05-01: {
   ...other data
   start: event start datetime
   end: current day midnight
}
-- All the intermediate days:
2021-05-02: {
   ...other data
   start: previous day midnight
   end: current day midnight
}
-- Final day
2021-05-03: {
   ...other data
   start: previous day midnight
   end: event start datetime
}
```

### Enriched Events Renderer

Optimised renderer get each event from the dictionary and render them without adding any extra logic like filtering or sorting.

### Preprocessed Data

You can build the dictionary by yourself and send it to the library through the prop `enrichedEventsByDate`.

This is specially useful for example when you want to build the dictionary in a background job.

# Enterprise support

First, thank you for your interest in this project. As this library is getting famous, lots of people are requesting features they need. I would like to respond all of them as possible, but there are limited hours I'm working on this. To be a full-time open sourcer and make this project sustainable, I've decided to add the enterprise support.

Enterprise customers are able to obtain:

- Full customization like colors, logos, images, and more.
- Priority response and development.
- Consultancy for React, TypeScript, and React Native application.

Note that some Enterprise features will be merged to the OSS version too.

If you are interested in those features, please send an email to: ketsume0211@gmail.com

# Hire me

I'm a freelance software engineer specialized in React, React Native and TypeScript. Also available for GraphQL and RDB backend, and Node.JS applications.

If you are interested in hiring me, please send an email to: ketsume0211@gmail.com

I'm based in Japan (by the beautiful sea), so a remote contract job is especially welcome.
