Installation

Install the package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file by adding:

"require": {
	"laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
	"vics80/calendar": "dev-master"
}

Next, run the Composer update command from the Terminal:

composer update

Now all you have to do is add the service provider of the package and alias the package. To do this open your config/app.php file.

Add a new line to the service providers array:

'Vics80\Calendar\CalendarServiceProvider'

And finally add a new line to the aliases array:

'Calendar' => 'Vics80\Calendar\Facades\Calendar',

Now you're ready to start using the calendar package in your application.

Usage

You can use the generate method to generate a calendar.

// Generate a calendar for the current month and year
Calendar::generate();

// Generate a calendar for the specified year and month
Calendar::generate(2012, 6);

If you want to add events you have two ways to do it: The first way is to adding single events without attributes to the event's wrapper

// Add an array of events as the third parameter to add them to the calendar, 
// keys should be the days of the month.
$data = array(
	3  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/03/',
	7  => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/07/',
	13 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/13/',
	26 => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/26/'
);

Calendar::generate(2006, 6, $data);

The second way is to adding multiple events in a same day. You cal also add somre attributes to the event's wrapper

// Add an array of events as the third parameter to add them to the calendar, 
// keys should be the days of the month.
$data = array();
$data[3][] = array(	
                'content' => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/03/',
                'attr'    => array(
                        'class' => 'some-css-class'
                    )
                );
$data[3][] = array(
                'content' => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/04/',
                'attr'    => array(
                        'class' => 'some-css-class'
                    )
                ),
$data[12][] = array(
                'content' => 'http://example.com/news/article/2006/10/',
                'attr'    => array(
                        'class' => 'another-css-class'
                    )
                ),

Calendar::generate(2006, 6, $data);

There are a few config variables you can set to change the layout of the calendar:

You can set these values using the initialize method

$config = array(
	'start_day' => 'monday',
	'month_type' => 'long'
);

Calendar::initialize($config);

Template

You can also change the template used for the calendar.

$template = '
   {table_open}<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">{/table_open}

   {heading_row_start}<tr>{/heading_row_start}

   {heading_previous_cell}<th><a href="{previous_url}">&lt;&lt;</a></th>{/heading_previous_cell}
   {heading_title_cell}<th colspan="{colspan}">{heading}</th>{/heading_title_cell}
   {heading_next_cell}<th><a href="{next_url}">&gt;&gt;</a></th>{/heading_next_cell}

   {heading_row_end}</tr>{/heading_row_end}

   {week_row_start}<tr>{/week_row_start}
   {week_day_cell}<td>{week_day}</td>{/week_day_cell}
   {week_row_end}</tr>{/week_row_end}

   {cal_row_start}<tr>{/cal_row_start}
   {cal_cell_start}<td>{/cal_cell_start}

   {cal_cell_content}<a href="{content}">{day}</a>{/cal_cell_content}
   {cal_cell_content_today}<div class="highlight"><a href="{content}">{day}</a></div>{/cal_cell_content_today}

   {cal_cell_no_content}{day}{/cal_cell_no_content}
   {cal_cell_no_content_today}<div class="highlight">{day}</div>{/cal_cell_no_content_today}

   {cal_cell_blank}&nbsp;{/cal_cell_blank}

   {cal_cell_end}</td>{/cal_cell_end}
   {cal_row_end}</tr>{/cal_row_end}

   {table_close}</table>{/table_close}
';

Calendar::initialize(array('template' => $template));

echo Calendar::generate();
