New UI Features in Second Beta Release

Posted by arshaw

We’ve just released a second beta! This piggybacks off the first beta release and adds some new features:

List-item Event Display#

list-item event-display example

In daygrid view, when an event has a time, it is displayed differently. See the screenshot. It has a little colored dot that is controlled by its background/border color. This new display setting is very configurable. See eventDisplay.

Demo: month view

Sticky Headers#

You can fix the date-headers to the top of the screen as the user scrolls. You can also fix the bottom scrollbar that shows up in timeline or vertical resource view. The new settings are called stickyHeaderDates and stickyFooterScrollbar but they are activated by default if you’ve set your calendar’s height to 'auto'.

Demos: timegrid | timeline | vertical-resource | list view

More Breaking Changes#

I know it’s not cool to release breaking changes in an “API-stable” beta, but we felt it was necessary. Trust us, we’ve renamed these settings for a reason:

  • defaultView to initialView
  • defaultDate to initialDate
  • header to headerToolbar
  • footer to footerToolbar
  • allDayDefault to defaultAllDay
  • eventRendering to eventDisplay (and display in event objects)
  • dir to direction

Bugs and Other Small Things#

We’ve also released a number of bugfixes based on your feedback. In addition, we’ve released the datesSet callback.

Please keep the feedback coming!

Psst… there are separate pages for feature requests, bug reports, and getting help.
