Laravel Livewire Fullcalendar Integration Example

In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you how to display events on the calendar using livewire fullcalendar components in laravel 8 applications. Please follow the instruction given below:

Step 1: Install Laravel 8 App

Step 2: Add Database Detail
Step 3: Install Livewire Package
Step 4: Create FullCalendar Component using Artisan

Step 5: Add Route For Livewire FullCalendar
Step 6: Add Code On View File
Step 7: Run Development Server

Step 1: Install Laravel 8 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: Add Database Detail

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

Create Model & Migration

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

php artisan make:model Event -m

1	php artisan make:model Event -m

Then visit /database/migrations directory and open event.php file and add the following code into it:

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

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateEventsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

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

$table->id();

$table->string('title');

$table->string('start');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('events');

}

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

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 3: Install Livewire Package

In this step, we will install livewire Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install livewire Package.

composer require livewire/livewire

1	composer require livewire/livewire

Step 4: Create FullCalendar Component using Artisan

In this step we will create livewire calendar component using following command:

php artisan make:livewire calendar

1	php artisan make:livewire calendar

The above command will create the following components on the following path:

app/Http/Livewire/Calendar.php

resources/views/livewire/calendar.blade.php

app/Http/Livewire/Calendar.php

resources/views/livewire/calendar.blade.php

Now, go to app/Http/Livewire folder and open Calendar.php file. Then add the following code into your Calendar.php file:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Event;
 
class Calendar extends Component
{
    public $events = '';
 
    public function getevent()
    {       
        $events = Event::select('id','title','start')->get();
 
        return  json_encode($events);
    }
 
    /**
    * Write code on Method
    *
    * @return response()
    */
    public function addevent($event)
    {
        $input['title'] = $event['title'];
        $input['start'] = $event['start'];
        Event::create($input);
    }
 
    /**
    * Write code on Method
    *
    * @return response()
    */
    public function eventDrop($event, $oldEvent)
    {
      $eventdata = Event::find($event['id']);
      $eventdata->start = $event['start'];
      $eventdata->save();
    }
 
    /**
    * Write code on Method
    *
    * @return response()
    */
    public function render()
    {       
        $events = Event::select('id','title','start')->get();
 
        $this->events = json_encode($events);
 
        return view('livewire.calendar');
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;

use App\Models\Event;

class Calendar extends Component

{

public $events = '';

public function getevent()

{

$events = Event::select('id','title','start')->get();

return json_encode($events);

}

/**

* Write code on Method

* @return response()

public function addevent($event)

{

$input['title'] = $event['title'];

$input['start'] = $event['start'];

Event::create($input);

}

/**

* Write code on Method

* @return response()

public function eventDrop($event, $oldEvent)

{

$eventdata = Event::find($event['id']);

$eventdata->start = $event['start'];

$eventdata->save();

}

/**

* Write code on Method

* @return response()

public function render()

{

$events = Event::select('id','title','start')->get();

$this->events = json_encode($events);

return view('livewire.calendar');

}

Now, go to resources/views/livewire folder and open calendar.blade.php file. Then put the following code into your calendar.blade.php file:

<div>
  <div id='calendar-container' wire:ignore>
    <div id='calendar'></div>
  </div>
</div>
 
@push('scripts')
    <script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/fullcalendar@5.3.1/main.min.js'></script>
     
    <script>
        document.addEventListener('livewire:load', function() {
            var Calendar = FullCalendar.Calendar;
            var Draggable = FullCalendar.Draggable;
            var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
            var checkbox = document.getElementById('drop-remove');
            var data =   @this.events;
            var calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
            events: JSON.parse(data),
            dateClick(info)  {
               var title = prompt('Enter Event Title');
               var date = new Date(info.dateStr + 'T00:00:00');
               if(title != null && title != ''){
                 calendar.addEvent({
                    title: title,
                    start: date,
                    allDay: true
                  });
                 var eventAdd = {title: title,start: date};
                 @this.addevent(eventAdd);
                 alert('Great. Now, update your database...');
               }else{
                alert('Event Title Is Required');
               }
            },
            editable: true,
            selectable: true,
            displayEventTime: false,
            droppable: true, // this allows things to be dropped onto the calendar
            drop: function(info) {
                // is the "remove after drop" checkbox checked?
                if (checkbox.checked) {
                // if so, remove the element from the "Draggable Events" list
                info.draggedEl.parentNode.removeChild(info.draggedEl);
                }
            },
            eventDrop: info => @this.eventDrop(info.event, info.oldEvent),
            loading: function(isLoading) {
                    if (!isLoading) {
                        // Reset custom events
                        this.getEvents().forEach(function(e){
                            if (e.source === null) {
                                e.remove();
                            }
                        });
                    }
                }
            });
            calendar.render();
            @this.on(`refreshCalendar`, () => {
                calendar.refetchEvents()
            });
        });
    </script>
    <link href='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/fullcalendar@5.3.1/main.min.css' rel='stylesheet' />
@endpush

<div>

</div>

@push('scripts')

document.addEventListener('livewire:load', function() {

var Calendar = FullCalendar.Calendar;

var Draggable = FullCalendar.Draggable;

var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');

var checkbox = document.getElementById('drop-remove');

var data = @this.events;

var calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {

events: JSON.parse(data),

dateClick(info) {

var title = prompt('Enter Event Title');

var date = new Date(info.dateStr + 'T00:00:00');

if(title != null && title != ''){

calendar.addEvent({

title: title,

start: date,

allDay: true

});

var eventAdd = {title: title,start: date};

@this.addevent(eventAdd);

alert('Great. Now, update your database...');

}else{

alert('Event Title Is Required');

}

editable: true,

selectable: true,

displayEventTime: false,

droppable: true, // this allows things to be dropped onto the calendar

drop: function(info) {

// is the "remove after drop" checkbox checked?

if (checkbox.checked) {

// if so, remove the element from the "Draggable Events" list

info.draggedEl.parentNode.removeChild(info.draggedEl);

}

eventDrop: info => @this.eventDrop(info.event, info.oldEvent),

loading: function(isLoading) {

if (!isLoading) {

// Reset custom events

this.getEvents().forEach(function(e){

if (e.source === null) {

e.remove();

}

});

}

});

calendar.render();

@this.on(`refreshCalendar`, () => {

calendar.refetchEvents()

});

</script>

@endpush

Step 5: Add Route For Livewire Fullcalendar

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

<?php
 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Livewire\Calendar;
use App\Models\Event;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
 
Route::view('/', 'home');
 
Livewire::component('calendar', Calendar::class);

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Livewire\Calendar;

use App\Models\Event;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::view('/', 'home');

Livewire::component('calendar', Calendar::class);

Step 6: Add Code On View File

In this step we will create blade view file. Go to resources/views/ folder and open view files that name home.blade.php file. Then add the following code into your home.blade.php file:

<html>
<head>
       <title>Laravel Livewire Fullcalendar Example</title>
    @livewireStyles
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">
    <script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/css/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/select2@4.1.0-rc.0/dist/js/select2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <livewire:calendar />
    @livewireScripts
    @stack('scripts')
</body>
</html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Laravel Livewire Fullcalendar Example</title>

@livewireStyles

</head>

<body>

<livewire:calendar />

@livewireScripts

@stack('scripts')

</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 –

localhost:8000/

1	localhost:8000/
