Dynamic event template in FullCalendar - fullcalendar

Question

Is there any way to dynamically change event template in FullCalendar?
Update. What I want is to specify new event html (e. g. in eventRender callback) and make FullCalendar to use it for my event rendering. Something like this:
eventRender: function(event, element, view) {
var template = '<div class="customEvent"></div>';
return $.parse(template);
}
Tried the sample above - didn't work.

Answer 1

You can add meta information on the event, like classes, and style accordingly:
events: [{
title: 'Blue Event',
start: '2014-06-01',
description: 'Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum',
class: 'blue main'
}]
And the CSS:
.fc-event.blue {}
.fc-event.main {}
On eventRender insert the classes with
eventRender: function (event, element) {
element.addClass(event.class)
}
And append more content like:
if (event.description) {
element.find('.fc-event-inner')
.append("<div class='desc'>" + event.description + "</div>");
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: { left: '', center: '', right: '' },
defaultDate: '2014-06-12',
eventRender: function (event, element) {
if (event.description) {
element.find('.fc-event-inner')
.append("<div class='desc'>" + event.description) + "</div>";
}
element.addClass(event.class)
},
events: [{
title: 'Blue Event',
start: '2014-06-01',
description: 'Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum',
class: 'blue main'
}, {
title: 'More Blue',
start: '2014-06-01',
description: 'More lorem ipsum',
class: 'blue main'
}, {
title: 'Long Event',
start: '2014-06-07',
end: '2014-06-10',
class: 'red main'
}, {
title: 'Meeting',
start: '2014-06-12T10:30:00',
end: '2014-06-12T12:30:00',
class: 'blue main'
}, {
title: 'Lunch',
start: '2014-06-12T12:00:00',
class: 'blue main'
}, {
title: 'Birthday Party',
start: '2014-06-13T07:00:00',
class: 'red main'
}, ],
});
});

Answer 2

The eventRender callback function can modify element, return a brand new DOM element that will be used for rendering instead, or it can return false, which will prevent the event from being rendered at all.
http://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_rendering/eventRender/
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/3E8nk/506/
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
defaultDate: '2014-06-12',
editable: true,
eventRender: function(event, element, view) {
return $('<div>' + event.title + '</div>');
},
events: [
{
title: 'All Day Event',
start: '2014-06-01'
},
{
title: 'Long Event',
start: '2014-06-07',
end: '2014-06-10'
},
{
id: 999,
title: 'Repeating Event',
start: '2014-06-09T16:00:00'
},
{
id: 999,
title: 'Repeating Event',
start: '2014-06-16T16:00:00'
},
{
title: 'Meeting',
start: '2014-06-12T10:30:00',
end: '2014-06-12T12:30:00'
},
{
title: 'Lunch',
start: '2014-06-12T12:00:00'
},
{
title: 'Birthday Party',
start: '2014-06-13T07:00:00'
},
{
title: 'Click for Google',
url: 'http://google.com/',
start: '2014-06-28'
},
]
});

Answer 3

Use the eventRender(callback) function to change the event template. Here is how you can add a tip to the event:
eventRender: function(event, element, view) {
element.qtip({
content: event.description
});
}
With this function you can fully customize any detail of the event that is displayed including adding a complete new event template. For more details check out the documentation:
http://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_rendering/eventRender/

Answer 4

In Version v4 of FullCalendar the arguments have changed (https://fullcalendar.io/docs/eventRender)
eventRender: function(info) {
var node = document.createElement('div');
node.append(document.createTextNode(info.event.title));
return node;
}
If you want to prevent an event from rendering just return false
eventRender: function(info) {
return false;
}

Answer 5

You may append new information like this
eventRender: function( event, element, view ) {
element.find('.fc-title').append('<span class="yourCSS"></span> ');
}
