booking_calendar 1.1.10

Flutter package to book online through your application. Use with streams to get real-time booking data, eg with Firestore streams

Booking Calendar

Want to make online bookings in your app? Then luckily you need look no further!

With a total of 4 lines, you get a working online booking system where users can track bookings in real-time.

It calculates the cases where there would be a conflict in the calendar and displays them in different colors.

You can customise your booking calendar with a number of additional parameters.

Usage

 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return BookingCalendar(
        key: key,

Firebase example

After you successfully integrated Firebase to your app. How to setup Firebase with Flutter In this example, we will book sporting slots, using Firebase Firestore.

Here is the model we store in the Firebase:

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:json_annotation/json_annotation.dart';
import 'package:sport.bp/util/app_util.dart';
part 'sport_booking.g.dart';

@JsonSerializable(explicitToJson: true)
class SportBooking {
  /// The generated code assumes these values exist in JSON.
  final String? userId;
  final String? userName;
  final String? placeId;
  final String? serviceName;
  final int? serviceDuration;
  final int? servicePrice;

  //Because we are storing timestamp in Firestore, we need a converter for DateTime
  /* static DateTime timeStampToDateTime(Timestamp timestamp) {
    return DateTime.parse(timestamp.toDate().toString());
  }

  static Timestamp dateTimeToTimeStamp(DateTime? dateTime) {
    return Timestamp.fromDate(dateTime ?? DateTime.now()); //To TimeStamp
  }*/
  @JsonKey(fromJson: AppUtil.timeStampToDateTime, toJson: AppUtil.dateTimeToTimeStamp)
  final DateTime? bookingStart;
  @JsonKey(fromJson: AppUtil.timeStampToDateTime, toJson: AppUtil.dateTimeToTimeStamp)
  final DateTime? bookingEnd;
  final String? email;
  final String? phoneNumber;
  final String? placeAddress;

  SportBooking(
      {this.email,
      this.phoneNumber,
      this.placeAddress,
      this.bookingStart,
      this.bookingEnd,
      this.placeId,
      this.userId,
      this.userName,
      this.serviceName,
      this.serviceDuration,
      this.servicePrice});

  /// Connect the generated [_$SportBookingFromJson] function to the `fromJson`
  /// factory.
  factory SportBooking.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$SportBookingFromJson(json);

  /// Connect the generated [_$SportBookingToJson] function to the `toJson` method.
  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$SportBookingToJson(this);
}

This is how the structure of the data looks like in the Firestore document:

So after the Firebase init, we can access the Firestore collection.

  CollectionReference bookings = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('bookings');

  ///This is how can you get the reference to your data from the collection, and serialize the data with the help of the Firestore [withConverter]. This function would be in your repository.
  CollectionReference<SportBooking> getBookingStream({required String placeId}) {
    return bookings.doc(placeId).collection('bookings').withConverter<SportBooking>(
          fromFirestore: (snapshots, _) => SportBooking.fromJson(snapshots.data()!),
          toFirestore: (snapshots, _) => snapshots.toJson(),
        );
  }

  ///How you actually get the stream of data from Firestore with the help of the previous function
  ///note that this query filters are for my data structure, you need to adjust it to your solution.
  Stream<dynamic>? getBookingStreamFirebase(
    {required DateTime end, required DateTime start}) {
       return ApiRepository.
                        .getBookingStream(placeId: 'YOUR_DOC_ID')
                        .where('bookingStart', isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: start)
                        .where('bookingStart', isLessThanOrEqualTo: end)
                        .snapshots(),
  }

  ///After you fetched the data from firestore, we only need to have a list of datetimes from the bookings:
  List<DateTimeRange> convertStreamResultFirebase(
    {required dynamic streamResult}) {
    ///here you can parse the streamresult and convert to [List<DateTimeRange>]
    ///Note that this is dynamic, so you need to know what properties are available on your result, in our case the [SportBooking] has bookingStart and bookingEnd property
      List<DateTimeRange> converted = []
      for (var i = 0; i < streamResult.size; i++) {
        final item = streamResult.docs[i].data();
        converted.add(DateTimeRange(start: (item.bookingStart!), end: (item.bookingEnd!)));
      }
  return converted;
}

  ///This is how you upload data to Firestore
  Future<dynamic> uploadBookingFirebase(
    {required BookingService newBooking}) async {
    await bookings
        .doc('your id, or autogenerate')
        .collection('bookings')
        .add(newBooking.toJson())
        .then((value) => print("Booking Added"))
        .catchError((error) => print("Failed to add booking: $error"));
    }
  }


/**AFTER YOU HAVE EVERY HELPER FUNCTION YOU CAN PASS THESE TO YOUR BOOKINGCALENDAR */
BookingCalendar(
    bookingService: mockBookingService,
    convertStreamResultToDateTimeRanges: convertStreamResultFirebase,
    getBookingStream: getBookingStreamFirebase,
    uploadBooking: uploadBookingFirebase,
    uploadingWidget: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
    //... other customisation properties
),
