QVRWeekView is a work in progress framework that contains a week/day view that allows you to display, add and remove events.
- Horizontal and vertical scrolling
- Infinite horizontal scrolling
- Zooming
- Colour, size and font customization features
- Day and hour label font resizing
- Dynamic event adding and removing
- Event tap, long press and event request callbacks
- Number of visible days customizable
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
Most useful example code can be found in Example > QVRWeekView > CalendarViewController or StartViewController
This pod requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 9.0.
QVRWeekView is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "QVRWeekView"Once the framework is installed, there are two ways you can incorporate the WeekView into your project:
To add the WeekView programatically, simply import QVRWeekView into your code by adding:
import QVRWeekViewat the top of your source file containing your view controller. Then insert the WeekView into your view controller by adding:
let weekView = WeekView(frame: self.view.frame)
self.view.addSubview(weekView)into either your viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear method.
To add the WeekView via the storyboard, simply add a View onto your View Controller and resize it or add constraints. Then go to the identity inspector of your view and select the Class to be WeekView and the module to be QVRWeekView (See image).
Then you should be all set!
WeekView has a delegate called WeekViewDelegate. For now this delegate contains only three functions:
| Function | Parameters | Behaviour | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|
| didLongPressDayView | weekView:WeekView, date:Date |
Called when a dayView column is long pressed. The passed date contains which time point was pressed |
Use this to trigger the creation of an event |
| didTapEvent | weekView:WeekView, eventId:Int |
Called when an event is tapped. eventId of the tapped event is passed |
Use this to prompt event editing or removal |
| eventLoadRequest | weekView:WeekView, startDate:Date , endDate:Date |
Called when events are ready to be loaded. startDate and endDate indicate (inclusively) between which two dates events are required. |
Use this to load in stored events |
| activeDayChanged | weekView:WeekView, date: Date |
Called when the current leftmost day changes. | Use this to keep track of current active day |
| didEndZooming | weekView:WeekView, scale: Double |
Called when zooming stops, the scale is the current zoomScale | Use this to persist the zoom scale of the WeekView |
| didEndVerticalScrolling | weekView:WeekView, top: Double, bottom: Double |
Called when vertical scrolling stops. The top an bottom values are percentages values of how far down the screen is. | Use this to persist vertical position of the WeekView |
| Function | Parameters | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| updateTimeDisplayed | \ |
Updates the time displayed by the hour indicator |
| showDay | date:Date |
Scrolls the week view to the day passed by date |
| showToday | \ |
Scrolls the week view to today |
| loadEvents | eventsData:[EventData] |
Loads, processes and displays the events provided by the eventsData array of EventData1 objects. Passing an empty array removes all visible events. |
| redrawEvents | Triggers a setNeedsLayout on all DayViewCells and will trigger a redrawing of all events |
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| allVisibleEvents | [EventData] |
An array of EventData of the events currently visible on screen |
| visibleDayDateRange | ClosedRange<DayDate> |
A ClosedRange of DayDates of the day columns which are currently visible on screen |
| delegate | WeekViewDelegate? |
The delegate of this WeekView |
EventData is the main object used to communicate events between the WeekView and your code. EventData can be overriden.
| Variable/Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
id:String |
A unique identifier for this event |
title:String |
A title that will be displayed for this event |
locating:String |
The "location" of this event (or any other data you wish to be displayed alongside the title in an event) |
startDate:Date |
The start date for this event |
endDate:Date |
The end date for this event |
color:UIColor |
The main color for this event |
allDay:Bool |
Indicates if this event is an all day event, all day events are displayed along the top bar |
configureGradient(CAGradientLayer?) -> Void |
Use to configure a gradient that will be used to render your event instead of just a solid color |
Events can be stored in Core Data (the following guide assumes some basic knowledge of Core Data):
- Create a new Core Data model if you don't have one already. Create a new Entity in this model.
- Add a new Attribute of type
Transformableto the new Entity. - Select the new Attribute and make sure its
CustomClassis set to (this can be changed in the right-hand side menu):EventDataArrayif you want to store an array of eventsEventDataif you want to store a single event
- If you are getting Undeclared Type warnings, you may need to add
@import QVRWeekViewto your[ProjectName]-Bridging-Header.hfile. - You can now use the new Core Data Entity to persist
EventDataobjects.
The EventDataArray class has a single variable: eventsData: [EventData] and is simply used as a proxy to store an array of events.
A detailed example can be found in the example Project folder /Example. A more detailed guide can be found here.

The main WeekView view is a subclass of UIView. The view layout is retrieved from the WeekView xib file. WeekView contains a top and side bar sub view. The side bar contains an HourSideBarView which displays the hours. WeekView also contains a DayScrollView (UIScrollView subclass) which controls vertical scrolling and also delegates and contains a DayCollectionView (UICollectionView subclass) which controls the horizontal scrolling. DayCollectionView cells are DayViewCells, whose view is generated programtically (due to inefficiencies caused by auto-layout).
WeekView handles all top level operations such as pinch gestures and orientation change. Scrolling of the top and side bar is handled by a function inside of WeekView which is called by the DayScrollView when scrolling. Top bar day labels are generated, displayed and discarded simulaneously with DayCollectionView cells by the WeekView.
- Ability to add and remove events
- Event color customization
- Extra customization features
- Improved UI features
- Increased event processing efficiency
- Add scroll to all day events
