Full Calender adding anchor in the empty cells

Question

I am using Adam Shaw's Full Calender on my bookings page.

Now I want to customize this calender in such a way that every empty cell should have a link "Place Booking". Clicking on this anchor should open it in a new tab and takes the date of that cell in the URL.

Here is my code

$('.fc-day-number').each(function() {
   var day = parseInt($(this).html());
   $(this).html('<a href="http://www.example.com/booking.php?booking_date='booking date of the cell'" target="_blank">' + day + '</a>');
});

For the time being I have placed the anchor on day number of the cell. But the problem is that the anchors disappear when I change the month from back and forward buttons of the plugin also I am unable to get the date of cell.

I am not an expert in JS any help will be much appreciated.

Try this:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  viewRender: function(view, $element) {
    $element.find('.fc-day-number').each(function() {
      var $this = $(this);
      var match = (/^(\d+)\-(\d+)\-(\d+)$/).exec($this.attr('data-date'));
      var date = new Date(+match[1], +match[2], +match[3]);

      $(this).wrapInner('<a href="http://www.example.com/booking.php?booking_date=' + encodeURIComponent(date.toUTCString()) + '" target="_blank"></a>');
    });
  }
});
