Laravel 10 How to use FullCalender with Events and Links
Hello Artisan, today I'll show you how to show full calendar with events and clickable links in our Laravel application. For that we're going to use FullCalendar. So, no more talk let's see how we can easily integrate full calendar in our application.
So at first, we'll create a controller by firing the below command.
php artisan make:controller FullCalendarIt'll create a controller under app/Http/Controllers called FullCalendar, open the file and below code in your controller. Look at the below source code.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class FullCalendar extends Controller
{
public function calendar()
{
$events = [];
$start_dates = ['2023-06-01','2023-06-07','2023-06-11','2023-06-12T10:30:00','2023-06-12','2023-06-12','2023-06-13','2023-06-28'];
$end_date = ['','2023-06-10','2023-06-13','2023-06-12T12:30:00','2023-06-12T12:00:00','2023-06-12T14:30:00','2023-06-13T07:00:00',''];
$titles = ['All Day Event','Long Event','Conference','Meeting','Lunch','Meeting','Birthday Party','Click for Google'];
$links = ['','','','','','','','https://www.google.com/'];
foreach ($titles as $key=> $title) {
$events[] = [
'title' => $title,
'start' => $start_dates[$key],
'end' => $end_date[$key],
'url' => $links[$key],
];
}
$data = [
'events' => $events
];
return view('fullcalendar',$data);
}
}Now we need to setup the blade file, so that we can show the result in a nice way.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8' />
</head>
<body>
<div id='calendar'></div>
<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/index.global.min.js'></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
initialView: 'dayGridMonth',
events : @json($events)
});
calendar.render();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>Put the below route in the web.php file.
Route::get('/fullcalendar', [\App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendar::class,'calendar'])->name('fullcalendar');
Now it's the time to check the output. Go to localhost:8000/fullcalendar, and you'll find the below output.
That's it for today. I hope it'll be helpful in upcoming project. You can also download this source code from GitHub. Thanks for reading. 🙂
