Laravel fullcalendar component

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

To install, either run

$ php composer.phar require edofre/laravel-fullcalendar

or add

"edofre/laravel-fullcalendar": "V1.2.4"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Note

The fxp/composer-asset plugin is required for this package to install properly. This plugin enables you to download bower packages through composer.

You can install it using this command:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.4.0”

This will add the fxp composer-asset-plugin and your composer will be able to find and download the required bower-asset/fullcalendar package. You can find more info on this page: https://packagist.org/packages/fxp/composer-asset-plugin.

Configuration

Add the ServiceProvider to your config/app.php

'providers' => [
        ...
        Edofre\Fullcalendar\FullcalendarServiceProvider::class,
    ],

And add the facade

'aliases' => [
        ...
        'Fullcalendar' => Edofre\Fullcalendar\Facades\Fullcalendar::class,
    ],

Publish assets and configuration files

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=fullcalendar

Manually loading script files

By setting the include_scripts option in the config/.env file to false the scripts will not be included when generating the calendar. If you want to manually include the scripts you can call the following static function in your header/footer/etc.

    \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Fullcalendar::renderScriptFiles();

Example

Below is an example of a controller action configuring the calendar

    public function index()
    {
        // Generate a new fullcalendar instance
        $calendar = new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Fullcalendar();

        // You can manually add the objects as an array
        $events = $this->getEvents();
        $calendar->setEvents($events);
        // Or you can add a route and return the events using an ajax requests that returns the events as json
        $calendar->setEvents(route('fullcalendar-ajax-events'));

        // Set options
        $calendar->setOptions([
            'locale'      => 'nl',
            'weekNumbers' => true,
            'selectable'  => true,
            'defaultView' => 'agendaWeek',
            // Add the callbacks
            'eventClick' => new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\JsExpression("
                function(event, jsEvent, view) {
                    console.log(event);
                }
            "),
            'viewRender' => new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\JsExpression("
                function( view, element ) {
                    console.log(\"View \"+view.name+\" rendered\");
                }
            "),
        ]);

        // Check out the documentation for all the options and callbacks.
        // https://fullcalendar.io/docs/

        return view('fullcalendar.index', [
            'calendar' => $calendar,
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * @param Request $request
     * @return string
     */
    public function ajaxEvents(Request $request)
    {
        // start and end dates will be sent automatically by fullcalendar, they can be obtained using:
        // $request->get('start') & $request->get('end')
        $events = $this->getEvents();
        return json_encode($events);
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    private function getEvents()
    {
        $events = [];
        $events[] = new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Event([
            'id'     => 0,
            'title'  => 'Rest',
            'allDay' => true,
            'start'  => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 20),
            'end'    => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 20),
        ]);

        $events[] = new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Event([
            'id'    => 1,
            'title' => 'Appointment #' . rand(1, 999),
            'start' => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 15, 13),
            'end'   => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 15, 13)->addHour(2),
        ]);

        $events[] = new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Event([
            'id'               => 2,
            'title'            => 'Appointment #' . rand(1, 999),
            'editable'         => true,
            'startEditable'    => true,
            'durationEditable' => true,
            'start'            => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 16, 10),
            'end'              => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 16, 13),
        ]);

        $events[] = new \Edofre\Fullcalendar\Event([
            'id'               => 3,
            'title'            => 'Appointment #' . rand(1, 999),
            'editable'         => true,
            'startEditable'    => true,
            'durationEditable' => true,
            'start'            => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 14, 9),
            'end'              => Carbon::create(2016, 11, 14, 10),
            'backgroundColor'  => 'black',
            'borderColor'      => 'red',
            'textColor'        => 'green',
        ]);
        return $events;
    }

You can then render the calendar by generating the HMTL and scripts

    {!! $calendar->generate() !!}
