Calendar::changeView
Immediately switches to a different view.
calendar.changeView( viewName, dateOrRange )
viewName
must be the name of one of the available views (a string).
calendar.changeView('timeGridDay');
If you’d like to navigate to a new date while simultaneously switching to a new view, you can specify a date parameter:
calendar.changeView('timeGridDay', '2017-06-01');
If you are using Custom View, you can change the visibleRange in the same way:
calendar.changeView('timeGrid', {
start: '2017-06-01',
end: '2017-06-05'
});
This date/visibleRange parameter was added in version 3.3.0.
