React-big-calendar Show only current month and next month

Question

How can I display only current month and next month using react big calendar and make it change dynamically every day?

I have a component that looks like this:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import 'react-big-calendar/lib/css/react-big-calendar.css'
import BigCalendar from 'react-big-calendar';
import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/locale/pl';


class NewCalendar extends Component {
    constructor(props, context) {
        super(props, context);
        BigCalendar.momentLocalizer(moment);

    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div {...this.props}>
                <BigCalendar
                    messages={{next: "Następny", previous: "Poprzedni", today: "Dzisiaj", month: "Miesiąc", week: "Tydzień"}}
                    culture='pl-PL'
                    timeslots={1}
                    events={[]}
                    views={['month', 'week', 'day']}
                    min={new Date('2017, 1, 7, 08:00')}
                    max={new Date('2017, 1, 7, 20:00')}
                />
            </div>
        );
    }
}
export default NewCalendar;

But it only show minimum and maximum hours from 8AM to 8PM, how to set max and min to days?

Answer 1

I've done some research and found a little inspiration for a hack here: there doesn't seem to be anything readily available like minDate or maxDate . But there's a prop called date which is an instance of JS Date() . And date decides the visible calendar range. There's another prop called onNavigate of type function . So you should make sure your state has an initial key-value pair like:

{
    dayChosen: new Date() //just initalize as current moment
}

Then as two props for MyCalendar component you can write:

date={this.state.dayChosen}

onNavigate={(focusDate, flipUnit, prevOrNext) => {
    console.log("what are the 3 params focusDate, flipUnit, prevOrNext ?", focusDate, flipUnit, prevOrNext);


const _this = this;

const now = new Date();
const nowNum = now.getDate();
const nextWeekToday = moment().add(7, "day").toDate();
//I imported `moment.js` earlier

const nextWeekTodayNum = nextWeekToday.getDate();

  if (prevOrNext === "NEXT" 
      && _this.state.dayChosen.getDate() === nowNum){
        _this.setState({
          dayChosen: nextWeekToday
        });
  } else if (prevOrNext === "PREV" 
  && _this.state.dayChosen.getDate() === nextWeekTodayNum){
    _this.setState({
      dayChosen: now
    });
  }
}}

In my example, user can click the buttons back and next but I have successfully restricted the calendar to only show this week and the following week . User cannot view previous weeks or more than 1 week down the road . If you want monthly restriction instead of weekly , you can change the logic easily.

I don't quite understand your entire question.

But if you want to hide away days that fall outside the current month, you can do it with css

 .rbc-off-range { /* color: #999999; */ color: transparent; pointer-events: none; } 

Please see attached.

If you want to dynamical display the date, just pass in a date that's a javascript date string.

 <BigCalendar {...allYourProps} date={new Date('9-8-1990') /*evaluates to 'Sat Sep 08 1990 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)'*/ } />
