fullcalendar - multiple sources to turn off and on - fullcalendar

Question

I've a calendar that I want to list various types of event on and enable a checkbox filter to show/hide those kind of events.
Is there a way to say on this action, ONLY load from 1 data-source AND remember that URL on month next/prev links?
I've started using eventSources, but it loads them all, rather than the one(s) I want.. Here's what I have.
var fcSources = {
all: {
url: tournament_url + '/getCalendar/?typefilter=[1,2]'
},
type1: {
url: tournament_url + '/getCalendar/?typefilter=[1]'
},
type2: {
url: tournament_url + '/getCalendar/?typefilter=[2]'
}
};
These URLS all provide a json string of events, based on the types prrovided.
Here's my calendar:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,basicWeek'
},
firstDay: 1, // Monday = 1
defaultDate: new Date(), // Now
editable: true,
eventSources: [ fcSources.all ],
events: fcSources.all,
nextDayThreshold: '00:00:00',
... etc etc
Above my calendar I have this:
input type="checkbox" name="event_filter[]" value="type1" /> Type 1
input type="checkbox" name="event_filter[]" value="type2" /> Type 2
And finally , two Jquery fucntions.. one to get all the filters:
function getFilters(getName) {
var filters = [];
var checked = [];
$("input[name='"+getName+"[]']").each(function () {
filters.push( $(this).val() );
});
$("input[name='"+getName+"[]']:checked").each(function () {
checked.push( $(this).val() );
});
return [filters, checked];
}
and the last to load them:
$(".event_filter").on('click', function() {
var doFilters = getFilters('event_filter');
$('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'removeEvents' );
if (doFilters[0] === doFilters[1]) {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'addEventSource', fcSources.all );
} else {
$.each(doFilters[1], function(myFilter, myVal) {
console.log(myVal);
$('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'addEventSource', fcSources.myVal );
});
}
// $('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'refetchEvents' );
});

Since the sources are all the same place and just different data on the URL, this approach could meet your needs. In the demo it just alerts the URL that is being tried but doesn't actually supply any data...
https://jsfiddle.net/gzbrc2h6/1/
var tournament_url = 'https://www.example.com/'
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: {
url: tournament_url + '/getCalendar/',
data: function() {
var vals = [];
// Are the [ and ] needed in the url? If not, remove them here
// This could (should!) also be set to all input[name='event_filter[]'] val's instead of hard-coded...
var filterVal = '[1,2]';
$('input[name="event_filter[]"]:checked').each(function() {
vals.push($(this).val());
});
if (vals.length) {
filterVal = '[' + vals.join(',') + ']' // Are the [ and ] needed in the url? If not, remove here too
}
return {
typefilter: filterVal
};
},
beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings) {
alert(unescape(settings.url));
}
}
});
// when they change the checkboxes, refresh calendar
$('input[name="event_filter[]"]').on('change', function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');
});

Try this!
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: function( start, end, timezone, callback ) {
var checked = [];
$("input[name='event_filter[]']:checked").each(function () {
checked.push( $(this).val() );
});
var tournament_url = 'https://www.example.com';
$.ajax({
url: tournament_url + '/getCalendar/',
data: {typefilter: '['+checked.join(',')+']'},
success: function(events) {
callback(events);
}
});
}
});
$('input[name="event_filter[]"]').on('change', function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');
});
This works for me.
