Consider Other Calendar Implementations

[AlicanC]

I am unsure if there is a suitable substitute available for FullCalendar, but I think it must be considered if there is any.

FullCalendar's dependencies like jQuery and jQuery UI can be unfitting for an AngularJS application. AngularJS's jqLite and combination of Bootstrap and UI Bootstrap is mostly enough for an AngularJS application, rendering jQuery and jQuery UI almost (in my case, completely) useless.

Parts of FullCalendar API like eventDataTransform works synchronously which makes use of synchronous API's like angular-translate's a complication.

FullCalendar's GitHub does not allow issues to be posted, providing no way for subjects like "the unnecessity of having Google Calendar related functionality on a separate file" to be discussed.

@AlicanC a few of us were planning on writing an angular native version. Would you like to help?

I am in complete leecher mode at the moment. While I feel the guilt of not contributing actual code to projects, I can rarely find time to even entertain myself these days. Though, I would really like to see it in development, comment and make proposals if they are appreciated and request pulls if I have time to code.

Hi, I've created a pull request for ui-bootstrap's date picker to add classes by outside functionality. It gives me a lot of functionality I've needed in ui-calendar. I think it's a good start for making this datepicker the native ui-calendar we need. Please look at the pull request, especially the example that shows how to connect that date picker to events, support and +1 it (self promotion..) and maybe this will be the first step to a native angular calendar: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/pull/2619

What do you think?

FYI, FullCalendar 2.1.0 dropped jQuery UI dependency.
