# Module: MMM-MyCalendar



This calendar module is functionally the same as the default calendar app, however its presentation is different.



This module displays events from a public .ical calendar. It can combine multiple calendars.



## Installation



1. Navigate to the `MagicMirror/modules` directory.

2. Execute `git clone https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCalendar.git`

3. Configure the module as per below

4. Restart MagicMirror



## Using the module



**NOTE: Some configuration parameters have changed.  See below if you are updating from a previous version.**



To use this module, add it to the modules array in the `config/config.js` file:

````javascript

modules: [

	{

		module: "MMM-MyCalendar",

		position: "top_left",	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.

		config: {

			// The config property is optional.

			// If no config is set, an example calendar is shown.

			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.

		}

	}

]

````



## Configuration options



The following properties can be configured:



**Note** if you are updating, some of the configuration options have changed, as follows:



* `timeFormat` no longer refers to whether you would like to see 'relative' or 'absolute' dates.  You now use `useRelativeDates` and specifiy either `true` or `false`.

* `timeFormat` is now used to specify the display format for time (e.g.: `"h:mm A"` for 12 hour time, `"HH:mm"` for 24 hour time, etc.)

* `dateFormat` is now just used for specifying how date portions of the display should format (e.g.: `"MMMM D"` for January 1, `"DD-MMM"` for 01-Jan, etc.).

* `dayOfWeekFormat` is new and allows you to specify a format for weekday names (e.g. `"dddd"` for Tuesday, `"ddd"` for Tue, etc.)

* `joiningWord` is new and allows you to specify the word to be displayed between the day/date and time of the event (e.g.: specify `"at"` for Tuesday `at` 1:15 PM).  If you do not want a joining word, then specify an empty string (i.e.: `""`).
