CalendarLib

February 7, 2024

CalendarLib is a set of views and controllers for displaying and scheduling events on iOS.

Warning:

As some people may have noticed, this project has not got any update recently, and a lot of issues / pull requests remain unanswered. I’m very sorry for that, but I don’t have any time at the moment to take care of this repo, being very busy with other projects. I may come back to it in the future, but meanwhile, please don’t expect any update soon.

Thanks anyway to all the contributors!

Features

Create and schedule events with iCal-like views and controllers
3 kinds of views are available (a day planner view, a month planner view and a year view)
Scroll infinitely through days / months, or restrict scrolling to a given date range
Restrict range of displayed hours in the day planner view
Page through weeks in the day planner view or months in the month planner view
Use a standard view for event cells or create your own custom views
Easily customize appearance and layout (date format, colors, fonts, size of headers, number of visible days…)
Create events by tap-and-hold on the view
Drag-and-drop events to another date or time
Scroll through days / months while dragging
Specialized controllers for EventKit data source but can easily work with any custom event provider
Background event loading for the EventKit controllers
Ability to show an activity indicator for days while events are loading

Zoom in/out the day planner view to increase or decrease the height of hour slots

Installation

CocoaPods

The best way is to use CocoaPods. Add the following line to your Podfile :


                                              
                                                pod “CalendarLib”

The old way

If you don’t want to use CocoaPods, you need to copy the content of the CalendarLib folder into your project, as well as the source of the two dependencies : OSCache and OrderedDictionary.

Getting started

If you want to use EventKit as a data source, create an instance of MGCDayPlannerEKViewController or MGCMonthPlannerEKViewController, or subclass them for your own needs.

Don’t forget to add the following frameworks to the project:
- EventKit.framework
- EventKitUI.framework
If you want to use another event provider, subclass one of MGCDayPlannerViewController or MGCMonthPlannerViewController and implement the data source protocol methods.
If you want to use a custom event cell, subclass MGCEventView or MGCStandardEventView and register the class with the day / month planner view.
