[**DEMO and Docs**](https://jquense.github.io/react-big-calendar/examples/index.html)

Inspired by [Full Calendar](http://fullcalendar.io/).

## Use and Setup

`yarn add react-big-calendar` or `npm install --save react-big-calendar`

Include `react-big-calendar/lib/css/react-big-calendar.css` for styles, and make sure your calendar's container
element has a height, or the calendar won't be visible. To provide your own custom styling, see the [Custom Styling](#custom-styling) topic.

### Localization and Date Formatting

`react-big-calendar` includes four options for handling the date formatting and culture localization, depending
on your preference of DateTime libraries. You can use either the [Moment.js](https://momentjs.com/), [Globalize.js](https://github.com/jquery/globalize), [date-fns](https://date-fns.org/), [Day.js](https://day.js.org) localizers.

Regardless of your choice, you **must** choose a localizer to use this library:

#### Moment.js

```js
import { Calendar, momentLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar'
import moment from 'moment'

const localizer = momentLocalizer(moment)

const MyCalendar = (props) => (
  <div>
    <Calendar
      localizer={localizer}
      events={myEventsList}
      startAccessor="start"
      endAccessor="end"
      style={{ height: 500 }}
    />
  </div>
)
```

#### Globalize.js v0.1.1

```js
import { Calendar, globalizeLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar'
import globalize from 'globalize'

const localizer = globalizeLocalizer(globalize)

const MyCalendar = (props) => (
  <div>
    <Calendar
      localizer={localizer}
      events={myEventsList}
      startAccessor="start"
      endAccessor="end"
      style={{ height: 500 }}
    />
  </div>
)
```

#### date-fns v2

```js
import { Calendar, dateFnsLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar'
import format from 'date-fns/format'
import parse from 'date-fns/parse'
import startOfWeek from 'date-fns/startOfWeek'
import getDay from 'date-fns/getDay'
import enUS from 'date-fns/locale/en-US'

const locales = {
  'en-US': enUS,
}

const localizer = dateFnsLocalizer({
  format,
  parse,
  startOfWeek,
  getDay,
  locales,
})

const MyCalendar = (props) => (
  <div>
    <Calendar
      localizer={localizer}
      events={myEventsList}
      startAccessor="start"
      endAccessor="end"
      style={{ height: 500 }}
    />
  </div>
)
```

#### Day.js

Note that the dayjsLocalizer extends Day.js with the following plugins:

- [IsBetween](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-between)
- [IsSameOrAfter](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-same-or-after)
- [IsSameOrBefore](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-same-or-before)
- [LocaleData](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/locale-data)
- [LocalizedFormat](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/localized-format)
- [MinMax](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/min-max)
- [UTC](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/utc)

```js
import { Calendar, dayjsLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar'
import dayjs from 'dayjs'

const localizer = dayjsLocalizer(dayjs)

const MyCalendar = (props) => (
  <div>
    <Calendar
      localizer={localizer}
      events={myEventsList}
      startAccessor="start"
      endAccessor="end"
      style={{ height: 500 }}
    />
  </div>
)
```

## Custom Styling

Out of the box, you can include the compiled CSS files and be up and running. But, sometimes, you may want to style
Big Calendar to match your application styling. For this reason, SASS files are included with Big Calendar.

```
  @import 'react-big-calendar/lib/sass/styles';
  @import 'react-big-calendar/lib/addons/dragAndDrop/styles'; // if using DnD
```

SASS implementation provides a `variables` file containing color and sizing variables that you can
update to fit your application. _Note:_ Changing and/or overriding styles can cause rendering issues with your
Big Calendar. Carefully test each change accordingly.
