You can install VanillaCalendar using npm or yarn:
npm install vanilla-calendar-pro
# or
yarn add vanilla-calendar-proIf you prefer not to use a package manager, you can also include it via CDN or download it from the website.
Here's a simple example of how to use VanillaCalendar in your HTML:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="calendar"></div>
<!-- or -->
<!-- <input type="text" id="calendar-input"> -->
</body>
</html>To add the necessary styles and scripts, you can use the following code:
import VanillaCalendar from 'vanilla-calendar-pro';
import 'vanilla-calendar-pro/build/vanilla-calendar.min.css';
// Initialize the calendar
const calendar = new VanillaCalendar('#calendar');
calendar.init();
// or
// const calendarWithInput = new VanillaCalendar('#calendar-input', { input: true });
// calendarWithInput.init();If you're not using a package manager and prefer manual installation or CDN usage, you can include the necessary files in your HTML document's <head>:
<html>
<head>
<link href="./vanilla-calendar.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="./vanilla-calendar.min.js" defer></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="calendar"></div>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const calendar = new VanillaCalendar('#calendar');
calendar.init();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>// Only layout calendar
import 'vanilla-calendar-pro/build/vanilla-calendar.layout.min.css';
// Themes
import 'vanilla-calendar-pro/build/themes/light.min.css';
import 'vanilla-calendar-pro/build/themes/dark.min.css';VanillaCalendar includes two CSS themes: the light theme and the dark theme.
- The vanilla-calendar.min.css file contains all styles with all themes.
- The vanilla-calendar.layout.min.css file contains the essential structural styles for the calendar.
- The themes/light.min.css theme provides a light color scheme.
- The themes/dark.min.css theme offers a dark color scheme.
The calendar will automatically display the theme according to the user's system preferences. If you want to apply a specific theme, it is recommended to import «vanilla-calendar.layout.min.css» along with the theme you prefer: «light.min.css» or «dark.min.css», instead of «vanilla-calendar.min.css».
VanillaCalendar features customizable DOM templates that allow you to modify the structure of the calendar to fit your needs. The templates are identified by tags containing the # character, and they should include a trailing slash at the end.
Here's an example of the default template:
new VanillaCalendar('#calendar', {
DOMTemplates: {
default: `
<div class="vanilla-calendar-header">
<#ArrowPrev />
<div class="vanilla-calendar-header__content">
<#Month />
<#Year />
</div>
<#ArrowNext />
</div>
<div class="vanilla-calendar-wrapper">
<#WeekNumbers />
<div class "vanilla-calendar-content">
<#Week />
<#Days />
</div>
</div>
<#ControlTime />
`
}
