AngularJS Material Calendar
A calendar directive for AngularJS and Angular Material Design. It's lightweight at ~2.1 kB, and has a lot of configurability.
Installation
RawGit
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/bradberger/angular-material-calendar/master/dist/angular-material-calendar.js"></script>
Bower
Install it via Bower
bower install --save material-calendar
Or add it to your dependencies in your bower.json
file:
{ "dependencies": { "material-calendar": "~0.2" } }
NPM
npm install --save angular-material-calendar
Usage
First off, check out the demo.
The documentation still needs to be written. It should be pretty straight forward to figure out if you're brave by using the example/index.html
file, which shows a full-fledged instance of the directive in action.
Long story short, though, it's much improved by using dedicated click handlers, setting a ngModel
if desired, taking all kinds of labels, and allowing output of HTML into the day blocks. There's also an option to display it with each day taking up full page width, which is great for small mobile screens and displaying content.
By default, the standard CSS and template are included in the single compiled JavaScript file, so if you're just looking to kick the tires, that's all you should need to use. The default template is in src/angular-material-calendar.html
for reference, but you can also load a custom template with the template-url
attribute of the directive, which should be a url that the $http
service will fetch and inject.
<calendar-md flex layout layout-fill calendar-direction="direction" on-prev-month="prevMonth" on-next-month="nextMonth" on-day-click="dayClick" title-format="'MMMM y'" ng-model='selectedDate' day-format="'d'" day-label-format="'EEE'" day-label-tooltip-format="'EEEE'" day-tooltip-format="'fullDate'" week-starts-on="firstDayOfWeek" day-content="setDayContent"></calendar-md>
The related scope looks like this:
angular.module("materialExample").controller("calendarCtrl", function($scope, $filter) { $scope.selectedDate = null; $scope.firstDayOfWeek = 0; $scope.setDirection = function(direction) { $scope.direction = direction; }; $scope.dayClick = function(date) { $scope.msg = "You clicked " + $filter("date")(date, "MMM d, y h:mm:ss a Z"); }; $scope.prevMonth = function(data) { $scope.msg = "You clicked (prev) month " + data.month + ", " + data.year; }; $scope.nextMonth = function(data) { $scope.msg = "You clicked (next) month " + data.month + ", " + data.year; }; $scope.setDayContent = function(date) { // You would inject any HTML you wanted for // that particular date here. return "<p></p>"; }; });
Localization
The localization of the calendar is straightforward and follows the standard Angular localization process described in the guide. You can find the list of natively supported locales here.
To translate the calendar, just include the correct localization file in your web page, right after the inclusion of angular.js. You can install it by downloading the file manually or using either npm or bower to automate the download.
npm install angular-i18n
or
bower install angular-i18n
Then use the script tag to include the translations (for example, for spanish locale):
<script src="bower_components/angular-i18n/angular-locale_es-es.js"></script>
Another option is to use directly a CDN like cdnjs:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-i18n/1.5.7/angular-locale_es-es.js"></script>
That's all, now the calendar will be automatically translated in the language of you choice.
Hacking On It
Use gulp to spin up the server and re-compile resources on the fly. The gulp default
task does all that for you. Just make sure to Selenium is up and running:
./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update
# In one terminal webdriver-manager start
# In separate terminal gulp
Protractor is set up to run all the tests during development. JavaScript code is linted with eslint
, too, so make sure that's not complaining about code styling or other issues.
Unit tests are thanks to Karma, so run those at the same time while developing. They'll detect code changes and run automatically in the background:
# In another terminal karma start
Contributing
Pull requests are most welcomed! The build process requires strict linting of code, so please follow the established ESLint style guide.
Also, the first round of the directive was just a proof-of-concept and test coverage is not complete, please do add tests for all new features and bug-fixes, too! Most submissions won't be merged without a test.
Also, if you could kindly add an extra test that's not related to your submission just to help us get to 100% coverage, that would be very much appreciated!
To Do
- Unit tests (the basic setup is there, need to fill them out)
- Verify the correct handling of timezones (tests?)
- Write documentation
- Spread the work
- Add to cdnjs, jsdelivr, etc.
- Automate the website update process after successful CI build
