Angular 14 FullCalendar Library Example to Show Calendar in Browser Using TypeScript

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be showing calendar in browser using angular 14 and full calendar library in typescript. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make a new angular project using the below command as shown below

ng new angularproject

cd angularproject

Now we need to install the below libraries using the npm command as shown below

npm i fullcalendar

After this you need to edit the app.module.ts file and copy paste the following code

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { FullCalendarModule } from '@fullcalendar/angular';
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction';
import dayGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/daygrid';
 
FullCalendarModule.registerPlugins([
  interactionPlugin,
  dayGridPlugin
]);
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    FullCalendarModule,
    
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

import { FullCalendarModule } from '@fullcalendar/angular';

import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction';

import dayGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/daygrid';

FullCalendarModule.registerPlugins([

interactionPlugin,

dayGridPlugin

]);

@NgModule({

declarations: [

AppComponent

imports: [

BrowserModule,

BrowserAnimationsModule,

FullCalendarModule,

providers: [],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

As you can see we are including the full calendar module and adding it inside the imports array and then we are also importing the full calendar plugins as well.

Now we need to edit the app.component.html file and copy paste the following code

app.component.html

<div class="container">
    <full-calendar [options]="calendarOptions"></full-calendar>
  </div>

<full-calendar [options]="calendarOptions"></full-calendar>

</div>

As you can see we are rendering the full calendar component and inside it we are attaching the options object. And now we need to edit the app.component.ts file and copy paste the following code

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
 
import { CalendarOptions } from '@fullcalendar/angular';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
 
export class AppComponent {
 
  Events = [];
  calendarOptions!: CalendarOptions;
 
  constructor() { }
 
  onDateClick(res: { dateStr: string; }) {
    alert('You clicked on : ' + res.dateStr)
  }
 
  ngOnInit() {
 
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.calendarOptions = {
        initialView: 'dayGridMonth',
        dateClick: this.onDateClick.bind(this),
        events: this.Events
      };
    }, 3500);
 
  }
}

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { CalendarOptions } from '@fullcalendar/angular';

@Component({

selector: 'app-root',

templateUrl: './app.component.html',

styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']

})

export class AppComponent {

Events = [];

calendarOptions!: CalendarOptions;

constructor() { }

onDateClick(res: { dateStr: string; }) {

alert('You clicked on : ' + res.dateStr)

}

ngOnInit() {

setTimeout(() => {

this.calendarOptions = {

initialView: 'dayGridMonth',

dateClick: this.onDateClick.bind(this),

events: this.Events

};

}, 3500);

}

As you can see we are attaching the full calendar inside the ngOnInit() method and here we are using the setTimeout() method to show the calendar after 3.5 seconds. And also we have binded the onclick listener to the calendar component. If we click the date then it will tell the date that the user has clicked. It is shown below
