Calendar
Bootstrap 5 Calendar plugin
MDB calendar is a plugin that allows you to efficiently manage tasks. Thanks to this extension you will be able to easily create new events, manage current events, move existing events between other days, and store all data in an easily readable array.
Responsive Calendar plugin built with the latest Bootstrap 5. Various customization options like default view, event formats, customizable captions, and much more.
Note: Read the API tab to find all available options and advanced customization
Basic example
A few predefined events allowing you to see how the plugin looks like.
Event formats
Calendar events can be added with time in two different formats - 12h or 24h. Optionally, you can also use the moment static getter which returns the current date object. We recommend reading the moment library documentation before using this method.
Monday first
Set the data-mdb-monday-first
attribute to true so that Monday is the first day
of the week.
Default view
Set the data-mdb-default-view
attribute to week
or
list
to change the start view. By default, it is a month
.
Twelve hour
By setting the data-mdb-twelve-hour
attribute to true, you get a 12-hour
schedule.
Default date
A starting day can be easily set using the
data-mdb-default-date
attribute.
Readonly
The editable mode can be easily disabled using the
data-mdb-readonly
attribute.
