CalendarKit is a fully customizable calendar library written in Swift. It was designed to look similar to iOS Calendar app out-of-the-box, but allow complete customization when needed. To make modifications easy, CalendarKit is composed of multiple small modules. They can be used together, or on their own.

You can try CalendarKit with CocoaPods. Just enter in Terminal:

pod try CalendarKit

CalendarKit is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'CalendarKit'

Subclass DayViewController and implement DayViewDataSource protocol to show events. CalendarKit requires DayViewDataSource to return an array of objects conforming to EventDescriptor protocol, specifying all the information needed to display a particular event:

// Return an array of EventDescriptors for particular date
override func eventsForDate(_ date: Date) -> [EventDescriptor] {
  var models = // Get events (models) from the storage / API

  var events = [Event]()

  for model in models {
      // Create new EventView
      let event = Event()
      // Specify TimePeriod
      let datePeriod = TimePeriod(beginning: model.beginning, end: model.start)
      event.datePeriod = datePeriod
      // Add info: event title, subtitle, location to the array of Strings
      var info = [model.title, model.location]
      info.append("\(datePeriod.beginning!.format(with: "HH:mm")) - \(datePeriod.end!.format(with: "HH:mm"))")
      // Set "text" value of event by formatting all the information needed for display
      event.text = info.reduce("", {$0 + $1 + "\n"})
      events.append(view)
  }

  return events
}

There is no need to do layout, CalendarKit will take care of it. CalendarKit also creates EventViews for you and reuses them.

If needed, implement DayViewDelegate to handle user input

override func dayViewDidSelectEventView(_ eventview: EventView) {
  print("Event has been selected: \(eventview.data)")
}

override func dayViewDidLongPressEventView(_ eventView: EventView) {
  print("Event has been longPressed: \(eventView.data)")
}

CalendarKit supports localization and uses iOS default locale to display month and day names. First day of the week is also selected according to iOS locale. Here are few examples:

CalendarKit's look can easily be customized. Just new CalendarStyle object to DayView's updateStyle method:

let style = CalendarStyle()
style.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
dayView.updateStyle(style)

• iOS 9.0+
• Swift 3.0+

• Neon is used for declarative layout
• DateTools is used for date manipulation

CalendarKit is under development, API can and will be changed.

• Improve customization
• Landscape support
• Add to Carthage
• Documentation
