Question 1

How do I add Calendar-iOS to a Swift project?

Accepted Answer

Use CocoaPods with 'pod Calendar-iOS' and set up a bridging header for Objective-C integration, or manually add the provided .h and .m files. The README shows both methods.

Question 2

Can Calendar-iOS display events or appointments?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed solely for date selection and marking. For event visualization, you'd need to overlay custom UI or choose a more feature-rich library.

Question 3

Calendar-iOS vs Apple's UICalendarView: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Calendar-iOS is simpler and more customizable for basic needs, but UICalendarView is native, better integrated, and supports modern iOS features out-of-the-box. Choose based on customization depth vs. native compatibility.

Question 4

How to change the start day of the week in Calendar-iOS?

Accepted Answer

Use the setPreferredWeekStartIndex method to set the leftmost column day, with Monday as the default. This is documented in the 'How to use' section of the README.

Question 5

Is Calendar-iOS compatible with Persian or other non-Gregorian calendars?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set the locale and calendarIdentifier properties, e.g., for Persian, use 'fa-IR' locale and NSCalendarIdentifierPersian, as shown in the README examples.

Question 6

How to handle date selection events in Calendar-iOS?

Accepted Answer

Implement the CalendarViewDelegate protocol, specifically the didChangeCalendarDate method, and optionally other methods like didDoubleTapCalendar for more interaction control.
