Angular's Calendar

Explore how to add and configure the angular-calendar library in your Angular dashboard to display events. Learn to implement navigation controls, set default views, and update your component to handle calendar interactions. This lesson helps you enhance your app with practical calendar functionality and prepares you to manage event displays and navigation.

With our events ready to be displayed and our dashboard tests updated, it’s time to add a calendar to our dashboard to display the events.

Below is the updated code. Use this code to make further changes:

Updated dashboard tests

Adding angular-calendar library

We’ll use the angular-calendar library for the calendar within our dashboard. You can see the documentation for the library on GitHub here.

  1. Add the CSS for the library to angular.json. Within the styles property, add the path to the CSS below our previous additions for Bootstrap and ng-pick-datetime.
TypeScript 3.3.4
// angular.json
"styles": [
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
"node_modules/ng-pick-datetime/assets/style/picker.min.css",
"node_modules/angular-calendar/css/angular-calendar.css",
"styles.css"
]
