Features

• Dynamically populate events for each day of the month.
• Events can cross several days.
• Special icons can also be shown for days.
• Highly customisable: You can change the font/height/size etc. You can also limit how many events to show each day.

Usage

Example

DPCalendarMonthView *calendarView = [[DPCalendarMonthlyView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 200) delegate:self];
NSMutableArray *events = @[].mutableCopy;
NSMutableArray *iconEvents = @[].mutableCopy;
    
for (int i = 0; i < 40; i++) {
   int index = arc4random() % 3;
   DPCalendarEvent *event = [[DPCalendarEvent alloc] initWithTitle:[titles objectAtIndex:index] startTime:date endTime:[date dateByAddingYears:0 months:0 days:arc4random() % 3] colorIndex:index];
   [events addObject:event];
   
   DPCalendarIconEvent *iconEvent = [[DPCalendarIconEvent alloc] initWithStartTime:date endTime:[date dateByAddingYears:0 months:0 days:0] icon:icon];
            [iconEvents addObject:iconEvent];
   date = [date dateByAddingYears:0 months:0 days:1];
}

self.monthlyView.events = events;
self.monthlyView.iconEvents = iconEvents;

Initiate Calendar

To achieve max flexible,DPCalendarMonthView is only the calendar view without titles and Previous/Next Button. To add the calendar view, We can write

DPCalendarMonthView *calendarView = [[DPCalendarMonthlyView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 200) delegate:self];

Provide events and icon events

Events

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
DPCalendarEvent *event = [[DPCalendarEvent alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test" startTime:date endTime:date colorIndex:1];
[events addObject:event];

Icon Events

If you have only icon and no need to title and background

DPCalendarIconEvent *iconEvent = [[DPCalendarIconEvent alloc] initWithStartTime:date endTime:date icon:icon];

If you need icon and title and background color

DPCalendarIconEvent iconEvent = [[DPCalendarIconEvent alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test" startTime:date endTime:date icon:icon bkgColorIndex:1];

Delegate

DPCalendarMonthlyViewDelegate

has the following functions:

• Delegate is called when calendar view scrolls and it also provides the first visible date of the month and last visible date of the month. For example, when the calendar view is scrolled to January 2014, 29/12/2013 and 01/02/2014 will be the first date and last date showing in the calendar.

-(void) didScrollToMonth:(NSDate *)month firstDate:(NSDate *)firstDate lastDate:(NSDate *)lastDate;

• You can inherit DPCalendarMonthlySingleMonthCell and provides your own implementation

- (Class) monthlyCellClass;

• You can also inherit DPCalendarMonthlyWeekdayCell and provides your own implementation

- (Class) monthlyWeekdayClassClass;

• Returns YES/NO for allowing highlighting cell provided with date

- (BOOL) shouldHighlightItemWithDate:(NSDate *)date;

• Returns YES/NO for allowing selecting cell provided with date

- (BOOL) shouldSelectItemWithDate:(NSDate *)date;

• Callback when user select the date

- (void) didSelectItemWithDate:(NSDate *)date;

• Customise appearances of the calendar view

- (NSDictionary *) monthlyViewAttributes;

Customise Appearance

• Just need to override the delegate function monthlyViewAttributes and returns a dictionary of attributes

-(NSDictionary *) ipadMonthlyViewAttributes {
    return @{
             DPCalendarMonthlyViewAttributeWeekdayFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:18],
             DPCalendarMonthlyViewAttributeDayFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14],
             DPCalendarMonthlyViewAttributeMonthRows:@5
             };
}
