Add events to specific dates in a moment.js calendar?

Question

I have an event calnedar that is created using moment.js and some CSS.

It currently adds some events to some dates on a random basis which works fine..

But I need to know how I can add the events to specific dates.

for example: {eventName: 'Free Tamale Night', calendar: 'Other', color: 'green', date: '10/10/2018'}

This is what I have so far:

https://jsfiddle.net/hz3e4wj6/2/

and this is my javascript code:

!function() {

  var today = moment();

  function Calendar(selector, events) {
    this.el = document.querySelector(selector);
    this.events = events;
    this.current = moment().date(1);
    this.draw();
    var current = document.querySelector('.today');
    if(current) {
      var self = this;
      window.setTimeout(function() {
        self.openDay(current);
      }, 500);
    }
  }

  Calendar.prototype.draw = function() {
    //Create Header
    this.drawHeader();

    //Draw Month
    this.drawMonth();

    this.drawLegend();
  }

  Calendar.prototype.drawHeader = function() {
    var self = this;
    if(!this.header) {
      //Create the header elements
      this.header = createElement('div', 'header');
      this.header.className = 'header';

      this.title = createElement('h1');

      var right = createElement('div', 'right');
      right.addEventListener('click', function() { self.nextMonth(); });

      var left = createElement('div', 'left');
      left.addEventListener('click', function() { self.prevMonth(); });

      //Append the Elements
      this.header.appendChild(this.title); 
      this.header.appendChild(right);
      this.header.appendChild(left);
      this.el.appendChild(this.header);
    }

    this.title.innerHTML = this.current.format('MMMM YYYY');
  }

  Calendar.prototype.drawMonth = function() {

    this.events.forEach(function(ev) {

  function addDate(ev) {

  }

  var calendar = new Calendar('#calendar', data);

}();

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a code that assigns random dates to the events in data variable.
You need to replace it with a code that sets a moment date instead, based on date property in each event entry.

So, you need to replace this:

this.events.forEach(function(ev) {
  ev.date = self.current.clone().date(Math.random() * (29 - 1) + 1);
});

with this:

this.events.forEach(function(ev) {
  ev.date = moment(ev.date, 'DD/MM/YYYY')
});

Here is a JS fiddle solution with the change above.
