I am using fullcalendar and my goal is to have a simple pop up on the event click but for some reason I cannot get it to pull in the description in the alert.
Am I missing some JS to include or something? I tried to use the examples from their site but it was not working. I am sure it is something stupid I am missing.
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/core/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/interaction/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/daygrid/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/timegrid/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/list/main.js'></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var d = new Date();
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
plugins: [ 'interaction', 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid', 'list' ],
height: 'parent',
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay,listWeek'
},
defaultView: 'dayGridMonth',
defaultDate: d,
eventClick: function(info) {
alert('Event: ' + info.description);
},
navLinks: true, // can click day/week names to navigate views
editable: false,
eventLimit: true, // allow "more" link when too many events
events:
[
{
title: 'All Day Event<br>second line',
description: 'description for Long Event',
start: '2020-05-01'
},
{
title: 'Session',
start: '2020-05-12T10:30:00',
description: 'description for Long Event',
end: '2020-05-12T12:30:00'
},
{
title: 'Practical',
start: '2020-05-27T10:30:00',
description: 'description for Long Event',
end: '2020-05-27T12:30:00'
}
]
});
calendar.render();
});
</script>
You need to write
alert('Event: ' + info.event.extendedProps.description);
because
1) the info
object isn't the event, the event is a sub-property of that info object - this is described at https://fullcalendar.io/docs/eventClick
and
2) description
is a non-standard field as far as fullCalendar is concerned, and all non-standard fields are placed inside the extendedProps
sub-property of the event object which fullCalendar generates based on the data you provide it - this is described at https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event-parsing
