README

This is a simple helper package to make generating http://fullcalendar.io in Laravel apps easier.

Installing

Require the package with composer using the following command:

composer require confrariaweb/laravel-fullcalendar

Or add the following to your composer.json's require section and composer update

"require": {
	"confrariaweb/laravel-fullcalendar": "~1.0"
}

Laravel 5.5+

The provider and Calendar alias will be registered automatically.

You will also need to include fullcalendar.io's files in your HTML.

Usage

Creating Events

Using event():

The simpliest way to create an event is to pass the event information to Calendar::event():

$event = \Calendar::event(
    "Valentine's Day", //event title
    true, //full day event?
    '2015-02-14', //start time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg)
    '2015-02-14', //end time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg),
	1, //optional event ID
	[
		'url' => 'http://full-calendar.io'
	]
);

Implementing Event Interface

Alternatively, you can use an existing class and have it implement ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\Event. An example of an Eloquent model that implements the Event interface:

class EventModel extends Eloquent implements \ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\Event
{

    protected $dates = ['start', 'end'];

    /**
     * Get the event's id number
     *
     * @return int
     */
    public function getId() {
		return $this->id;
	}

    /**
     * Get the event's title
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getTitle()
    {
        return $this->title;
    }

    /**
     * Is it an all day event?
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function isAllDay()
    {
        return (bool)$this->all_day;
    }

    /**
     * Get the start time
     *
     * @return DateTime
     */
    public function getStart()
    {
        return $this->start;
    }

    /**
     * Get the end time
     *
     * @return DateTime
     */
    public function getEnd()
    {
        return $this->end;
    }
}

IdentifiableEvent Interface

If you wish for your existing class to have event IDs, implement \ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\IdentifiableEvent instead. This interface extends \ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\Event to add a getId() method:

class EventModel extends Eloquent implements \ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\IdentifiableEvent
{

	// Implement all Event methods ...

    /**
     * Get the event's ID
     *
     * @return int|string|null
     */
    public function getId();

}

Additional Event Parameters

If you want to add additional parameters to your events, there are two options:

Using Calendar::event()

Pass an array of 'parameter' => 'value' pairs as the 6th parameter to Calendar::event():

$event = \Calendar::event(
    "Valentine's Day", //event title
    true, //full day event?
    '2015-02-14', //start time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg)
    '2015-02-14', //end time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg),
	1, //optional event ID
	[
		'url' => 'http://full-calendar.io',
		//any other full-calendar supported parameters
	]
);

Add an getEventOptions method to your event class

<?php
class CalendarEvent extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model implements \ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\Event
{
	//...

	/**
     * Optional FullCalendar.io settings for this event
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function getEventOptions()
    {
        return [
            'color' => $this->background_color,
			//etc
        ];
    }

	//...
}

Create a Calendar

To create a calendar, in your route or controller, create your event(s), then pass them to Calendar::addEvent() or Calendar::addEvents() (to add an array of events). addEvent() and addEvents() can be used fluently (chained together). Their second parameter accepts an array of valid FullCalendar Event Object parameters.

Sample Controller code:

$events = [];

$events[] = \Calendar::event(
    'Event One', //event title
    false, //full day event?
    '2015-02-11T0800', //start time (you can also use Carbon instead of DateTime)
    '2015-02-12T0800', //end time (you can also use Carbon instead of DateTime)
	0 //optionally, you can specify an event ID
);

$events[] = \Calendar::event(
    "Valentine's Day", //event title
    true, //full day event?
    new \DateTime('2015-02-14'), //start time (you can also use Carbon instead of DateTime)
    new \DateTime('2015-02-14'), //end time (you can also use Carbon instead of DateTime)
	'stringEventId' //optionally, you can specify an event ID
);

$eloquentEvent = EventModel::first(); //EventModel implements ConfrariaWeb\Fullcalendar\Event

$calendar = \Calendar::addEvents($events) //add an array with addEvents
    ->addEvent($eloquentEvent, [ //set custom color fo this event
        'color' => '#800',
    ])->setOptions([ //set fullcalendar options
		'firstDay' => 1
	])->setCallbacks([ //set fullcalendar callback options (will not be JSON encoded)
        'viewRender' => 'function() {alert("Callbacks!");}'
    ]);

return view('hello', compact('calendar'));

Sample View

Then to display, add the following code to your View:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.9.0/moment.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.css"/>

</head>
<body>
    {!! $calendar->calendar() !!}
    {!! $calendar->script() !!}
</body>
</html>

Note: The output from calendar() and script() must be non-escaped, so use {!! and !!} (or whatever you've configured your Blade compiler's raw tag directives as).

The script() can be placed anywhere after calendar(), and must be after fullcalendar was included.
