Laravel 8 maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar Tutorial with Example

In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you how to install and integrate fullcalendar components in laravel 8. Please follow instruction given below:

Step 1 – Install Laravel App

Step 2 – Connecting App to Database
Step 3 – Build Migration & Model
Step 4 – Install maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar and Build Routes

Step 5 – Create Controller Using Artisan Command
Step 6 – Create Blade View
Step 7 – Run Development Server

Step 8 – Test This App

Step 1 – Install Laravel App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 – Connecting App to Database

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
 DB_PORT=3306 
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=here your database name here

DB_USERNAME=here database username here

DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3 – Build Migration & Model

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan make:model Book -m

1	php artisan make:model Book -m

The above command will create a model name Book and also create a migration file for the Events table. Now go to database/migrations folder and open create_books_table.php file. Then put the following code into create_books_table.php file, as follow:

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->date('start');
            $table->date('end');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('bookings');
    }
}
?>

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->date('start');

$table->date('end');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('bookings');

}

Now, go to app/models and open Book.php file and add the following code into it:

<?php
 
namespace App/Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 
class Booking extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];
}
?>

<?php

namespace App/Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model

{

use HasFactory;

protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];

}

Now, run the migration to create database table using following artisan command:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 4 – Install maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar and Build Routes

In this step, we will install maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar Package.

composer require maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar

1	composer require maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar

Now, open “config/app.php” file and register this package, as shown below:

'providers' => [
    ....
    MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\ServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Calendar' => MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\Facades\Calendar::class,
]

'providers' => [

....

MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\ServiceProvider::class,

'aliases' => [

....

'Calendar' => MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\Facades\Calendar::class,

]

Create Routes

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;
 
Route::get('/booking',[FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;

Route::get('/booking',[FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);

Step 5 – Create Controller Using Artisan Command

Now, lets create a controller named FullCalendarController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

1	php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

After successfully create controller, visit app/http/controllers directory and open FullCalendarController.php file.

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Booking;
use Redirect,Response;
 
class FullCalendarController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
 
       $events = [];
       $data = Booking::all();
       if($data->count()){
          foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            $events[] = Calendar::event(
                $value->title,
                true,
                new \DateTime($value->start),
                new \DateTime($value->end.' +1 day')
            );
          }
       }
      $calendar = Calendar::addEvents($events); 
      return view('fullcalendar', compact('calendar'));
    }
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\Booking;

use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalendarController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

$events = [];

$data = Booking::all();

if($data->count()){

foreach ($data as $key => $value) {

$events[] = Calendar::event(

$value->title,

true,

new \DateTime($value->start),

new \DateTime($value->end.' +1 day')

);

}

$calendar = Calendar::addEvents($events);

return view('fullcalendar', compact('calendar'));

}

Step 6 – Create Blade view

In this step we will create blade view file. Go to resources/views directory and create a blade view file named calendar.blade.php. And add the following code into it:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.9.0/moment.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
    <div class="panel panel-primary">
        <div class="panel-heading">
            MY Calender
        </div>
        <div class="panel-body" >
            {!! $calendar->calendar() !!}
            {!! $calendar->script() !!}
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

<!doctype html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

MY Calender

</div>

{!! $calendar->calendar() !!}

{!! $calendar->script() !!}

</div>

</body>

</html>

Step 7 – Run Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

http://localhost:8000/booking

1	http://localhost:8000/booking
