React Google Calendar

React Google Calendar is an implementation of react-big-calendar that pulls events from multiple Google calendars and reformats them for display. It also allows for many kinds of reoccuring events, such as daily, weekly, and monthly.

Getting Started

import Calendar from 'react_google_calendar'

const calendar_configuration = {
    api_key: YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY,
    calendars: [
      {
        name: 'demo', // whatever you want to name it
        url: 'exampleURL@group.calendar.google.com' // your calendar URL
      }
    ],
    dailyRecurrence: 700,
    weeklyRecurrence: 500,
    monthlyRecurrence: 20
}

export default class MyApp extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
      super(props)
        this.state = {
          events: []
        }
    }

    render = () =>
      <div>
        <Calendar
          events={this.state.events}
          config={calendar_configuration} />
      </div>
}

Local Development

• config.js has a demo API for tests. Update config.js with your API key to access your calendar.
• Download dependencies: npm install
• Download peer dependencies: npm i array.prototype.flat moment@^2.22.2 react@^16.6.3 react-big-calendar@^0.20.2 react-dom@^16.6.3 webpack
• Development build with hot reloading: npm start
• Build for production: npm run build

Further setup

• Get a Google Calendar API key. Simple Calendar has good instructions for setting this up.

Reoccuring event algorithms

Accounting for all the various ways events can reoccur is a huge undertaking and there are many we missed. Right now we support the following:

• single events
• daily events (e.g. every day, every n days)
• weekly events (e.g. every Monday)
• monthly events by date (e.g. first of the month)
• monthy events by day (e.g. first Friday)

If you find an edge case that isn't supported, raise an issue, or create a fork and write your own solution.
