🎉 Next features

[nibdo]

Hi all,

I would like to open a discussion, what do you consider as minimum requirements for Kalend to be production ready.

For version 1 I want to include only essential features and then focus more on cleaning, polishing and improving performance before implementing anything extra or solving some edge cases.

I am biased, as I am both the maintainer and customer, so I would like to hear your opinion what are you missing or what is blocking you from using Kalend. Feel free to share how you want to use component.

I established this list for feature wanted in v1:

• configuration for setting different week start day,
• configuration for setting time in 24h format or am/pm,
• filtering events based on calendar id,
• dragging events in month view,
• little style customization(f.e. primary colors),
• option to show current time as line on week day table

Some ideas for v2:

• dark theme,
• different event types (tasks),
• setting custom x-days view instead of default 3-days view,
• more theming,
• maybe some outside plugin components like mini-calendar controls, new event modal

I'd like to be able to override sub components. For example, replace the calendar buttons control or the event container on the month view with a custom one.

For a v2, I would really appreciate having a default view for event. We could custom thank to a property.

A new button could be inserted in the calendar to add new events.

I'm building a small app, and I'm really excited that i found Kalend. Although it would be great to include some configuration for the language and locale. A simple way to set locale specifing country code would be great in my opinion for the future.

Thank you all for great ideas so far.

bruceharrison1984: For controls, I am thinking maybe it could be also good to add option to hide whole header and add more callbacks for header functions. But disabling/hiding some components should be no problem. About less trivial components, like f.e. event container in month view, I think it could be done, but have to think about how and what parts could be abstracted.

Eragaus: Yes, this is in backlog, but I think it will be worked on later.

kkatsi: Great idea, I think this could be very important feature for some people who need other than English language.

[bruceharrison1984]

I think a more general improvement would be overhauling the current light/dark theme implementation. There is a ton of string manipulation scattered all over the code base, which will certainly become unruly as time goes on. Something similar to a Theme.Provider could be a huge help in this area.

Not the exactly the coolest feature, but gotta keep that tech debt down!

[bruceharrison1984]

I think another extremely useful feature would be multi-day events. Currently is seems like events are constrained to a single day based on the way that Events are passed in via dictionary. I'm not sure how difficult it would be, but trying to use this as a month calendar proves somewhat cumbersome because of this.

[nibdo]

Thank you, this is also relevant. I think it shouldn't be that much hard, so I will try to look at it.

[msborrow]

it would be cool to make it possible to select the month and year in the drop-down calendar, like in a mobisroll.
otherwise it's a very cool calendar, it has everything you need

Also I can help you with the localization of the calendar into Russian
