# Fullcalendar Views NG
Views style plugin to render all sorts of date fields as events with
[FullCalendar 6.x](https://fullcalendar.io/).
## Supported (date) field types
- Core date
- Core datetime
- Core datestamp
- [Repeating date](https://backdropcms.org/project/repeating_dates)
- [Resource timeslot](https://backdropcms.org/project/resource_timeslots)
- Anything supported by views_handler_field_date, like "node created"
If your favorite field type is missing, let us know.
## Installation
Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS
[instructions](https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/extend-with-modules)
Create a view with a supported date field type, select the "Fullcalendar NG"
display type and configure.
Important note: if it's a multi-value field, make sure that the "Display all values in the same
row" setting under "Multiple field settings" of that view field is **not checked**.
Some basic instructions are available in the
[Wiki](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/fullcalendar_views/wiki)
### Additional event sources
FullCalendar can parse (external) JSON feeds for additional events. See the official
documentation about [EventSources](https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event-source-object)
for more information. One option to create such a resource is the
Fullcalendar Feed (Fullcalendar JSON) views format provided by this module.
## Dependencies
- The [Fullcalendar Library](https://backdropcms.org/project/fullcalendar_lib) module
## Issues
Bugs and feature requests should be reported in the
[Issue Queue](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/fullcalendar_views/issues).
## Known issues
**Important note:** If you have the legacy Fullcalendar module beta version installed,
it's essential to either update to the stable release (1.x-2.0) or to
uninstall that one **before** you install Fullcalendar Views NG. Otherwise
your site will break.
See [this issue](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/fullcalendar_views/issues/7) for
details.

## Similar modules
This module is inspired by, but in no way similar to
[Fullcalendar](https://backdropcms.org/project/fullcalendar). It has pros and
cons:
- *Pro:* It utilizes a current FullCalendar library
- *Pro:* It supports a lot more date (field) types
- *Pro:* Simpler and more lightweight (OK, that's maybe only relevant for
maintainers)
- *Con:* It doesn't enable you to edit these field values via calendar, only display
(that's by intention)
- *Con:* It has less settings (but also an easier configuration form)
