The Calendar plugin for AppGini makes it easy to visualize and manage your date-driven records, such as tasks, projects, orders, or events, in a dynamic calendar view. You can add new records directly within the calendar to ensure accurate scheduling and avoid conflicts, and now you can also edit event start times and durations effortlessly by dragging or resizing events for a smoother, more interactive experience.

Switch Between 4 Views: Month, Week, Day, and Agenda

The Calendar plugin lets users seamlessly switch between four distinct views to display events from your database:

• Month view: A full calendar month at a glance.
• Week view: A 7-day layout with a detailed time grid.
• Day view: A focused view of a single day with a time grid.
• Agenda view: A concise list of events for the entire week.

Switching between views is instant and effortless with just a button click, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience.

Flexible, Color-Coded Event Types

The Calendar plugin allows you to create multiple calendars and configure events to either display together in a single calendar or show each event type in its own calendar. You can assign a unique color to each event type, making it easy for users to quickly distinguish between different events at a glance.

Easily View and Edit Event Details

With a simple click on an event, users can open a modal window displaying the detail view of the corresponding record. From there, users can view or edit event details (with the appropriate permissions), and any changes are instantly reflected in the calendar upon closing the modal. Additionally, events can be quickly updated by dragging them to a new start date/time or resizing them to adjust their duration, making event management seamless and intuitive.

Quickly Add New Events Directly in the Calendar

Users with insert permissions can easily create new events by clicking anywhere on the calendar, just like in Google Calendar. The new event's date and time fields are automatically set based on where the user clicked, saving time and streamlining the process.

Fully Customize Calendars to Fit Your Needs

The Calendar plugin offers extensive customization options to adapt to all your use cases:

• Custom WHERE Clauses: When creating events, you can define custom SQL WHERE conditions to filter records. For example, you could distinguish non-shipped orders (displayed in red) from shipped ones (displayed in green) by creating two separate event types for orders, each with its own WHERE clause.

• JavaScript Handlers: Add JavaScript handlers to new events to dynamically set default values for specific fields based on the event type, streamlining the event creation process.

• Custom Calendar Options: Starting with Calendar plugin version 2.0, you can pass custom options to modify the calendar's behavior. For instance, you can hide weekends, limit the displayed time range to working hours, or implement other configurations to suit your requirements.

The plugin is built on the powerful open-source FullCalendar, which features comprehensive and well-organized documentation, making it easy to further tailor the calendar's behavior to your specific needs.
