KVKCalendar
  • November 19, 2023

KVKCalendar is a most fully customization calendar. Library consists of five modules for displaying various types of calendar (dayweekmonthyearlist of events). You can choose any module or use all. It is designed based on a standard iOS calendar, but with additional features. Timeline displays the schedule for the day and the week.

Adding Package Dependencies to Your App

Usage for UIKit


Import KVKCalendar. Create a subclass view CalendarView and implement CalendarDataSource protocol. Create an array of class [Event] and return the array.

import KVKCalendar

class ViewController: UIViewController {
var events = [Event]()

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

let calendar = CalendarView(frame: frame)
calendar.dataSource = self
view.addSubview(calendar)

createEvents { (events) in
self.events = events
self.calendarView.reloadData()
}
}

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()
// to track changing frame when an user rotates device
calendarView.reloadFrame(view.frame)
}
}

extension ViewController {
func createEvents(completion: ([Event]) -> Void) {
let models = // Get events from storage / API

let events = models.compactMap({ (item) in
var event = Event(ID: item.id)
event.start = item.startDate // start date event
event.end = item.endDate // end date event
event.color = item.color
event.isAllDay = item.allDay
event.isContainsFile = !item.files.isEmpty
event.recurringType = // recurring event type – .everyDay, .everyWeek

// Add text event (title, info, location, time)
if item.allDay {
event.text = “\(item.title)”
} else {
event.text = “\(startTime) – \(endTime)\n\(item.title)”
}
return event
})
completion(events)
}
}

extension ViewController: CalendarDataSource {
func eventsForCalendar(systemEvents: [EKEvent]) -> [Event] {
// if you want to get events from iOS calendars
// set calendar names to style.systemCalendars = [“Test”]
let mappedEvents = systemEvents.compactMap { Event(event: $0) }
return events + mappedEvents
}
}

Implement CalendarDelegate to handle user action and control calendar behaviour.

calendar.delegate = self

To use a custom view for specific event or date you need to create a new view of class EventViewGeneral and return the view in function.

class CustomViewEvent: EventViewGeneral {
override init(style: Style, event: Event, frame: CGRect) {
super.init(style: style, event: event, frame: frame)
}
}

// an optional function from CalendarDataSource
func willDisplayEventView(_ event: Event, frame: CGRect, date: Date?) -> EventViewGeneral? {
guard event.ID == id else { return nil }

return customEventView
}

To use a custom date cell, just subscribe on this optional method from CalendarDataSource (works for Day/Week/Month/Year views).

func dequeueCell<T>(parameter: CellParameter, type: CalendarType, view: T, indexPath: IndexPath) -> KVKCalendarCellProtocol? where T: UIScrollView {
switch type {
case .year:
let cell = (view as? UICollectionView)?.dequeueCell(indexPath: indexPath) { (cell: CustomYearCell) in
// configure the cell
}
return cell
case .day, .week, .month:
let cell = (view as? UICollectionView)?.dequeueCell(indexPath: indexPath) { (cell: CustomDayCell) in
// configure the cell
}
return cell
case .list:
let cell = (view as? UITableView)?.dequeueCell { (cell: CustomListCell) in
// configure the cell
}
return cell
}
}

Usage for SwiftUI


Add a new SwiftUI file and import KVKCalendar. Create a struct CalendarViewDisplayable and declare the protocol UIViewRepresentable for connection UIKit with SwiftUI.

import SwiftUI
import KVKCalendar

struct CalendarViewDisplayable: UIViewRepresentable {

@Binding var events: [Event]
var selectDate = Date()
var style = Style()

private var calendar = KVKalendarView(frame: .zero)

func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<CalendarViewDisplayable>) -> KVKCalendarView {
calendar.dataSource = context.coordinator
calendar.delegate = context.coordinator
return calendar
}

func updateUIView(_ uiView: KVKCalendarView, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<CalendarViewDisplayable>) {
context.coordinator.events = events
}

func makeCoordinator() -> CalendarDisplayView.Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}

public init(events: Binding<[Event]>) {
_events = events
calendar = KVKCalendarView(frame: frame, date: selectDate, style: style)
}

// MARK: Calendar DataSource and Delegate
class Coordinator: NSObject, CalendarDataSource, CalendarDelegate {
private let view: CalendarViewDisplayable

var events: [Event] = [] {
didSet {
view.events = events
view.calendar.reloadData()
}
}

init(_ view: CalendarViewDisplayable) {
self.view = view
super.init()
}

func eventsForCalendar(systemEvents: [EKEvent]) -> [Event] {
events
}
}
}

Create a new SwiftUI file and add CalendarViewDisplayable to body.

import SwiftUI

struct CalendarContentView: View {
@State var events: [Event] = []

var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
CalendarViewDisplayable(events: $events)
}
}
}

Styles


To customize calendar create an object Style and add to init class CalendarView.

public struct Style {
public var event = EventStyle()
public var timeline = TimelineStyle()
public var week = WeekStyle()
public var allDay = AllDayStyle()
public var headerScroll = HeaderScrollStyle()
public var month = MonthStyle()
public var year = YearStyle()
public var list = ListViewStyle()
public var locale = Locale.current
public var calendar = Calendar.current
public var timezone = TimeZone.current
public var defaultType: CalendarType?
public var timeHourSystem: TimeHourSystem = .twentyFourHour
public var startWeekDay: StartDayType = .monday
public var followInSystemTheme: Bool = false
public var systemCalendars: Set<String> = []
}
