Installation

Install the package through Composer :

composer require arkhas/laravel5calendar

Now all you have to do is add the service provider of the package and alias the package. To do this open your app/config/app.php file.

Add a new line to the service providers array:

Arkhas\Calendar\CalendarServiceProvider::class,

Add a new line to the aliases array:

'Calendar' => Arkhas\Calendar\Facades\Calendar::class,

Then insert this in the top of your file :

use Calendar;

Or use it directly :

$calendar = \Calendar::generate();

Now you're ready to start using the calendar package in your application.

Usage

You can use the generate method to generate a calendar, it will return the template of the calendar.

// Generate a calendar for the current month and year
$calendar = Calendar::generate();

// Generate a calendar for the specified year and month
$calendar = Calendar::generate(2012, 5);

// Add an array of events as the third parameter to add them to the calendar (YYYY/MM/DD), 
$events = array(
	'2016/5/3',
	'2016/5/5',
	'2016/5/11',
	'2016/5/16',
	'2016/5/28',
);

$calendar = Calendar::generate(2016, 5, $events);

// Add an array of data as the fourth parameter so you can use them in the view :

$data = array(
	'name' => 'Arkhas',
	'url'  =>  '/event/arkhas',
	'foo' => 'bar'
);

$calendar = Calendar::generate(2016, 5, $events, $data);

For using it in you view, simply use :

{!! $calendar !!}

Routing

By default, the routing format is /calendar/YYYY/MM , you can change the leading route using the url data parameter :

$data['url'] = '/foo/bar/';

Template

If you want to use a custom template, run :

php artisan vendor:publish

The template is located in resources/views/vendor/calendar/calendar.blade.php

The css file is located in public/assets/arkhas/calendar/calendar.css

Navigate through the calendar

Add this to your template

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/arkhas/calendar/calendar.js"></script>

Navigate through the calendar with links using the calendarButton Class. The ajax script will replace the calendar class by an updated calendar.
