Docs Basic View

A “basic” view is a view with one or more columns, each representing a day. The pre-configured basic views are basicDay and basicWeek. You can initialize a basic view like this:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  defaultView: 'basicWeek'
});

If you’d like a different interval of time, you can create a custom view with type 'basic'.

There are numerous other options throughout the docs that affect the display of basic view, such as the date/time display options and locale-related options.
