Installation

1. Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

   $ flutter pub add kalender
   

2. Import it:

   import 'package:kalender/kalender.dart';
   

Usage

1. Create a custom class to store your data.

   class Event {
     final String title;
     final Color color;
      
     Event(this.title, this.description);
   }
   

2. Create a EventsController

   final eventsController = EventsController<Event>();
   

   Add events to the controller

   eventsController.addEvent(
     CalendarEvent(
       dateTimeRange: DateTimeRange()
       eventData: Event(  
           title: 'Event 1',
           color: Colors.blue,
       ),
     ),
   );
   

3. Create a CalendarController

   final calendarController = CalendarController();
   

4. Create tile builders

   Widget _tileBuilder(event, tileConfiguration) => Widget()
   Widget _multiDayTileBuilder(event, tileConfiguration) => Widget()
   Widget _monthEventTileBuilder(event, tileConfiguration) => Widget()
   

5. Create a CalendarView

   CalendarView(
     eventsController: eventsController,
     calendarController: calendarController,
     tileBuilder: _tileBuilder(),
     multiDayTileBuilder: _multiDayTileBuilder(),
     monthTileBuilder: _monthEventTileBuilder(),
   )       
   

Additional information

Calendar Views

There are a few constructors that you can choose from to create a CalendarView.

1. Default Constructor - this constructor will build the correct view (Day, MultiDay, Month) based on the ViewConfiguration you pass it.

2. DayView - this constructor will build a DayView and does not need the monthTileBuilder.

3. MultiDayView - this constructor will build a MultiDayView and does not need the monthTileBuilder.

4. MonthView - this constructor will build a MonthView and does not need the tileBuilder or multiDayTileBuilder.

View Configuration

The CaledarView takes a ViewConfiguration object.

There are 3 'Types' of ViewConfiguration's: DayViewConfiguration, MultiDayViewConfiguration, and MonthViewConfiguration.

• You can create a Custom ViewConfiguration by extending one of these 'Types'.

These are the default ViewConfiguration's:

1. DayConfiguration - This configuration is used to configure the SingleDayView.

   DayConfiguration(
     // The width of the timeline on the left of the page.
     timelineWidth: 56,
     // The overlap between the timeline and hourlines.
     hourlineTimelineOverlap: 8,
     // The height of the multi day tiles.
     multidayTileHeight: 24,
     // The size of one slot in the calendar.
     slotSize: SlotSize(minutes: 15),
     // Allow EventTiles to snap to each other.
     eventSnapping: true,
     // Allow EventTiles snap to the time indicator.
     timeIndicatorSnapping: true,
   ),
   

2. MultiDayConfiguration - This configuration is used to configure the MultiDayView and can display any number of days.

   MultiDayConfiguration(
     name: 'Two Day',
     numberOfDays: 2,
     timelineWidth: 56,
     hourlineTimelineOverlap: 8,
     multidayTileHeight: 24,
     slotSize: SlotSize(minutes: 15),
     paintWeekNumber: true,
     eventSnapping: true,
     timeIndicatorSnapping: true,
   ),
   

3. WeekConfiguration - This configuration is used to configure the MultiDayView and displays 7 days that starts on the firstDayOfWeek.

   WeekConfiguration(
     timelineWidth: 56,
     hourlineTimelineOverlap: 8,
     multidayTileHeight: 24,
     slotSize: SlotSize(minutes: 15),
     paintWeekNumber: true,
     eventSnapping: true,
     timeIndicatorSnapping: true,
     firstDayOfWeek: DateTime.monday,
   ),
   

4. WorkWeekConfiguration - This configuration is used to configure the MultiDayView and displays 5 days that starts on monday.

   WorkWeekConfiguration(
     timelineWidth: 56,
     hourlineTimelineOverlap: 8,
     multidayTileHeight: 24,
     slotSize: SlotSize(minutes: 15),
     paintWeekNumber: true,
     eventSnapping: true,
     timeIndicatorSnapping: true,
   )
   

5. MonthConfiguration - this configuration is used to configure the MonthView.

   MonthConfiguration(
     firstDayOfWeek: DateTime.monday,
     enableRezising: true,
   )
   

Event Handling

The CaledarView can take a CalendarEventHandlers object. The CalendarEventHandlers handles the user's interaction with the calendar. (Do not confuse the CalendarEventHandlers with the EventsController)

There are 4 events at this time that can be handeled.

1. onEventChanged: this function is called when an event displayed on the calendar is changed. (resized or moved)

2. onEventTapped: this function is called when an event displayed on the calendar is tapped.

3. onCreateEvent: this function is called when a new event is created by the calendar.

4. onDateTapped: this function is called when a date on the calendar is tapped.

CalendarEventHandlers<Event>(
  onEventChanged: (initialDateTimeRange, CalendarEvent<Event> calendarEvent) async {
    // The initialDateTimeRange is the original DateTimeRange of the event.
    // The event is a reference to the event that was changed.

    // This is a async function, so you can do any async work here.

    // Once this function is complete the calendar will rebuild.
  },
  onEventTapped: (CalendarEvent<Event> calendarEvent) async {
    // The calendarEvent is a reference to the event that was tapped.

    // This is a async function, so you can do any async work here.

    // Once this function is complete the calendar will rebuild.
  },
  onCreateEvent: (CalendarEvent<Event> calendarEvent) async {
    // The calendarEvent is a reference to the event that was created.

    // This is a async function, so you can do any async work here.


    // You must return the calendarEvent and then the calendar will rebuild.
    return calendarEvent; 
  },
  onDateTapped: (date) {
    // The date is the date that was tapped. see example for use case.
  },
);

Events Controller

The CaledarView takes a EventsController object. The EventsController is used to store and manage CalendarEvent's. (Do not confuse the EventsController with EventHandling)

Function	Parameters	Description
addEvent	CalendarEvent<T> event	Adds this event to the list and rebuilds the calendar view
addEvents	List<CalendarEvent<T>> events	Adds these events to the list and rebuilds the calendar view
removeEvent	CalendarEvent<T> event	Removes this event from the list and rebuilds the calendar view
removeWhere	bool Function(CalendarEvent<T> element) test	Removes the event(s) where the test returns true
clearEvents		Clears the list of stored events
updateEvent	T? newEventData, DateTimeRange? newDateTimeRange,bool Function(CalendarEvent	Updates the eventData or newDateTimeRange (if provided), of the event where the test returns true

Calendar Controller

The CaledarView takes a CalendarController object. The CalendarController is used to control the CalendarView.

Function	Parameters	Description
animateToNextPage	Duration? duration, Curve? curve	Animates to the next page.
animateToPreviousPage	Duration? duration, Curve? curve	Animates to the previous page.
jumpToPage	int page	Jumps to the given page.
jumpToDate	DateTime date	Jumps to the given date.
animateToDate	DateTime date, {Duration? duration, Curve? curve,}	Animates to the DateTime provided.
adjustHeightPerMinute	double heightPerMinute	Changes the heightPerMinute of the view.
animateToEvent	CalendarEvent	Animates to the CalendarEvent.

Custom Object

The CalendarEvent can contain any object. This object can be accessed by the tileBuilders and the CalendarEventHandlers.

Custom Object Example:

CalendarEvent<Event>(
  dateTimeRange: DateTimeRange(),
  eventData: Event(
    title: 'Event 1',
    color: Colors.blue,
  ),
);

Tile Builder Example:

Widget _tileBuilder(CalendarEvent<Event> event, tileConfiguration) {
  final customObject = event.eventData;
  return Card(
    color: customObject.color,
    child: Text(customObject.title),
  );
}

Appearance

The CalendarView consists of quite a few sub components: Each of these components can be customized in the CalendarStyle object or by passing a custom widget builder through the CalendarComponents object.
