A set of views and controllers for displaying and scheduling events on iOS

MGC Graphical Calendars Library is a set of views and controllers for displaying and scheduling events on iOS.

Features

• Create and schedule events with iCal-like views and controllers
• 3 kinds of views are available (a day planner view, a month planner view and a year view)
• Scroll infinitely through days / months, or restrict scrolling to a given date range
• Page through weeks in the day planner view
• Use a standard view for event cells or create your own custom views
• Easily customize appearance and layout (date format, size of headers, number of visible days...)
• Create events by tap-and-hold on the view
• Drag-and-drop events to another date or time
• Scroll through days / months while dragging
• Specialized controllers for EventKit data source but can easily work with any custom event provider
• Background event loading for the EventKit controllers
• Ability to show an activity indicator for days while events are loading
• Restrict ability to create or move events to certain dates through datasource protocol methods (currently only in day planner view)
• Zoom in/out the day planner view to increase or decrease the height of hour slots

Compatibility

iPad with iOS 7 or higher.

The views work on the iPhone but the EventKit controllers still need a bit of work.

Installation

Copy the CalendarLib folder content into your project.

Getting started

1. Create a new project

2. Import the CalendarLib folder into the project

3. If you want to use EventKit as a data source, create an instance of MGCDayPlannerEKViewController or MGCMonthPlannerEKViewController, or subclass them for your own needs.

   Don't forget to add the following frameworks to the project:

   • EventKit.framework
   • EventKitUI.framework

4. If you want to use another event provider, subclass one of MGCDayPlannerViewController or MGCMonthPlannerViewController and implement the data source protocol methods.

5. If you want to use a custom event cell, subclass MGCEventView or MGCStandardEventView and register the class with the day / month planner view.

See the demo project to get an idea of how to use the library.

Have a look at the CalendarDocs folder for (incomplete) documentation on the day planner view.

Todo

• make the EventKit controllers work on the iPhone
• make a demo app for the iPhone
