Accessing Default Labels

import { defaultLabels, mergeLabels } from 'yearflow';

// Get all default labels
console.log(defaultLabels);

// Merge partial custom labels with defaults
const customLabels = mergeLabels({
  header: { title: 'My Calendar' },
});

Theme Customization

Customize the appearance by providing a theme object:

import { YearPlanner } from 'yearflow';
import 'yearflow/styles.css';

const customTheme = {
  colors: {
    primary: '#4a90e2',
    background: '#ffffff',
    surface: '#f8f9fa',
    text: '#212529',
    textSecondary: '#6c757d',
    textMuted: '#adb5bd',
    border: '#dee2e6',
    weekend: '#f1f3f5',
  },
  fonts: {
    sans: "'Inter', sans-serif",
    serif: "'Merriweather', serif",
  },
  radius: {
    sm: '4px',
    md: '8px',
    lg: '12px',
  },
  shadows: {
    sm: '0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
    md: '0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
    lg: '0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)',
  },
};

function App() {
  return <YearPlanner year={2026} theme={customTheme} />;
}

Custom Color Palette

Define your own color palette for legend items:

const customColors = [
  { id: 'ocean-blue', value: '#0077be', name: 'Ocean Blue' },
  { id: 'sunset-orange', value: '#ff6b35', name: 'Sunset Orange' },
  { id: 'forest-green', value: '#2d6a4f', name: 'Forest Green' },
  { id: 'lavender', value: '#9d84b7', name: 'Lavender' },
];

const customLegend = [
  { id: 'recruiting', label: 'Recruiting', colorId: 'ocean-blue', order: 0 },
  { id: 'sprints', label: 'Engineering Sprints', colorId: 'sunset-orange', order: 1 },
  { id: 'onboarding', label: 'Onboarding', colorId: 'forest-green', order: 2 },
  { id: 'deadlines', label: 'Deadlines', colorId: 'lavender', order: 3 },
];

function App() {
  return (
    <YearPlanner
      year={2026}
      colorPalette={customColors}
      initialData={{ legend: customLegend }}
    />
  );
}

Persistence Adapters

LocalStorage (Default)

Automatically saves data to browser localStorage:

import { YearPlanner, localStorageAdapter } from 'yearflow';

function App() {
  return (
    <YearPlanner
      year={2026}
      persistenceAdapter={localStorageAdapter('myPlanner2026')}
    />
  );
}

API Backend

Save data to your backend API:

import { YearPlanner, apiAdapter } from 'yearflow';

function App() {
  return (
    <YearPlanner
      year={2026}
      persistenceAdapter={apiAdapter('/api/planner', 'your-auth-token')}
    />
  );
}

The API adapter expects:

  • GET /api/planner - Returns PlannerData JSON
  • PUT /api/planner - Accepts PlannerData JSON in request body

Custom Adapter

Implement your own persistence logic:

const customAdapter = {
  async load() {
    // Load data from your storage
    const data = await yourCustomLoadFunction();
    return data;
  },
  async save(data) {
    // Save data to your storage
    await yourCustomSaveFunction(data);
  },
};

function App() {
  return <YearPlanner year={2026} persistenceAdapter={customAdapter} />;
}

No Persistence (Controlled Mode)

Use noopAdapter to fully control data externally:

import { YearPlanner, noopAdapter } from 'yearflow';

function App() {
  const [plannerData, setPlannerData] = useState(initialData);

  return (
    <YearPlanner
      year={2026}
      persistenceAdapter={noopAdapter}
      initialData={plannerData}
      onDataChange={setPlannerData}
    />
  );
}

Initial Data

Provide initial events, notes, and blocked days:

const initialData = {
  events: [
    {
      id: '1',
      title: 'Q3 Recruiting Push',
      startDate: '2026-07-01',
      endDate: '2026-07-14',
      category: 'default-green',
      description: 'Engineering team expansion',
    },
  ],
  notes: [
    {
      id: '1',
      title: 'Review job postings',
      date: '2026-06-01',
      category: 'default-blue',
    },
  ],
  blockedDays: {
    '2026-12-25': 'default-red',
    '2026-12-26': 'default-red',
  },
  legend: [
    { id: 'default-green', label: 'Recruiting', colorId: 'green', order: 0 },
    { id: 'default-blue', label: 'Sprints', colorId: 'blue', order: 1 },
    { id: 'default-red', label: 'Company Events', colorId: 'red', order: 2 },
  ],
};

function App() {
  return <YearPlanner year={2026} initialData={initialData} />;
}

Rails Integration

A Stimulus controller is available for seamless Rails integration. See the /integrations/rails directory for:

  • yearflow_controller.js - Stimulus controller
  • README.md - Rails integration guide

Example Rails setup:

<!-- app/views/planners/show.html.erb -->
<div data-controller="yearflow"
     data-yearflow-year-value="2026"
     data-yearflow-api-url-value="/api/planner">
</div>

Advanced Usage

Using Hooks and Context

For custom layouts or advanced integration, you can use the underlying hooks and components:

import {
  PlannerProvider,
  usePlanner,
  Header,
  CalendarGrid,
  Sidebar,
} from 'yearflow';

function CustomPlanner() {
  const { state, actions } = usePlanner();

  return (
    <div>
      <Header year={2026} />
      <div style={{ display: 'flex' }}>
        <CalendarGrid year={2026} />
        <Sidebar />
      </div>
      <pre>{JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)}</pre>
    </div>
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <PlannerProvider>
      <CustomPlanner />
    </PlannerProvider>
  );
}

Exported Components

All major components are exported for custom layouts:

  • YearPlanner - Main component
  • Header - Header with view controls
  • CalendarGrid - Month grid for year/quarter view
  • WeekView - Week detail view
  • Sidebar - Sidebar with legend, notes, and events
  • MonthCard - Individual month component
  • DayCell - Individual day cell
  • And more...
