Adding events on year and month selection about react-calendar-toolkit HOT 7 CLOSED

This could be a scenario:
Imagine that I have to show appointments on the calendar.
To avoid loading all the data from a Rest API, if I were notified via an event at the change of year or month I could call it Rest, get the data and then use it within highlightDate.
Seems ok?
Or in this case, how would you do it?

Hi. Can you explain your idea?

it would be very useful to have 2 events that are triggered when the year and month are selected, a bit like the date selection (onDateSet event).

Internally, reducer actions are triggered when user changes calendar precision. But onDateSet triggers only when user clicked date with minimum precision (see Define minimal precision of Calendar example here https://morewings.github.io/react-calendar-toolkit/#!/Available%20components/DatePicker).

This way you could optimally load data that can then be used in 'highlightDate' or simply be notified when the monthly or annual view changes.

In existing code highlightDate receives precision param. So you can do something like this:

highlightDate: ({precision, date}) => {
  return precision === 'month' && isSameMonth(date, new Date(2012, 11, 0));
}

This will highlight December of 2012 when user selects month view. Is that what you looking for?

Now I see your point. It makes sense together with visible date state updates, for same reasons you told.
Do you have any ideas, how api can look like? Easiest option is to expose two additional callbacks.

from react-calendar-toolkit.

Exposing 2 callbacks could be useful to notify the change of month and year, but then eventually how do you update the status of individual days?
Currently there is a call back 'highlightDate' but I don't think it is useful in case of calls of this type.

What about a 'highlightDates' property where you pass the dates and for each date a state and a 'renderDate' callback where in this case you can implement rendering logic based on 'highlightDates'.

So, just an idea .. tell me yours

eventually how do you update the status of individual days?

Actually that's what highlightDate prop does. It is called each time calendar renders, so you can pass array of dates to match.

a 'renderDate' callback where in this case you can implement rendering logic based on 'highlightDates'.

It's done already there are renderDayAs, renderMonthAs and so on props, which you can pass React component to render. Component will receive highlight Boolean prop. https://morewings.github.io/react-calendar-toolkit/#/Datepicker%20custom%20UI?id=day

Yes, I understand the logic. My question was about how to trigger the render method after a an external callback. highlightDate is a callback, not a prop with data.
If we'll have the 2 callback fot month and year selection, int whitch way we can re-render the control to force the execution of highlightDate?

from react-calendar-toolkit.

My idea is that ‘highlightDate’ should handle this. It receives ‘precision’ param, which indicates what calendar (day, month) is visible.
User can change type of visible calendar by clicking the control.
Developer can’t change visibility of calendar via props, that would too much imperative imho. But developer should be notified about this change.
