# Installation

• install the back-end API package using composer: composer require laravel-enso/calendar

• install the front-end resources: yarn add @enso-ui/calendar

• add a calendar alias in webpack.mix.js under the alias object:

  '@calendar': `${__dirname}/node_modules/@enso-ui/calendar/src/bulma`,
  

• in resources/js/router.js file, verify that RouteMerger is imported, or import it

  import RouteMerger from '@core-modules/importers/RouteMerger';

• make sure routeImporter is also imported

  import routeImporter from '@core-modules/importers/routeImporter';

• then use RouteMerger to import front-end assets using the alias defined in webpack.mix.js

  (new RouteMerger(routes))
      .add(routeImporter(require.context('@calendar/routes', false, /.*\.js$/)))
      .add(routeImporter(require.context('./routes', false, /.*\.js$/)));
  

• in resources/js/app.js import the package's icons

import '@calendar/icons';

• publish CalendarServiceProvider and register your calendars

• run yarn dev or npm run dev

# Icons

The package uses the following icons:

• faCalendarAlt

# Features

• allows you to add, edit and remove calendar and calendar events
• normal users can only make changes to their own calendars, while administrators and supervisors can edit all
• will be able to be add recurring events and even events spanning multiple days
• comes with an included calendar seeder which can be published and further customized
• beautiful & functional interface built on top of vue-cal
• can also use custom (pseudo) calendars, so you can represent within the calendar events generated from other modules of the application

# Usage

# Configuration

The configuration file contains 2 sections:

• calendars
• calendarClasses

# Custom Calendars

In addition to the calendars you can create from the UI, there is also the option to define custom calendars, which you can use to display information in the calendar, information retrieved from other sources.

One such example custom calendar is included in the package by default. This calendar displays persons' birthdays.

To activate/use it, first publish the package's calendar provider using:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-provider

Then, include the custom calendar implementation in the provider's register property:

protected $register = [
    BirthdayCalendar::class,
];

# Creating Custom Calendars

In order to create custom calendars, just three steps are necessary:

• create a CustomCalendar implementation, for your calendar
• create a ProvidesEvent implementation for your calendar's events
• register the new calendar implementation within the published CalendarServiceProvider

# Commands

• php artisan enso:calendar:notify - sends the calendar event reminder notifications

# Publishes

• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-config - the configuration
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=enso-config - a common alias for when wanting to update the config, once a newer version is released, can be used with the --force flag
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-provider - a default calendar provider
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-factory - a calendar factory
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=enso-factories - a common alias for when wanting to update the factories once a newer version is released, usually used with the --force flag
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-email-template - the email template, so you can customize it
• php artisan vendor:publish --tag=enso-mail - a common alias for when wanting to update the email templates once a newer version is released, usually used with the --force flag
