Question 1

How do I add custom events to CalendarView?

Accepted Answer

Enable the KDCALENDAR_EVENT_MANAGER_ENABLED flag, then use the addEvent method after granting calendar permissions. Note that events are limited to single-day durations, so for multi-day events, additional customization is needed.

Question 2

Can CalendarView display events from multiple calendars on iOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it syncs with the system's EventKit, which includes all user calendars. However, filtering or customizing which calendars to display requires implementing additional logic in your app's delegate methods.

Question 3

CalendarView vs FSCalendar: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

CalendarView is better for quick integration with native event support and simple customization, while FSCalendar often offers more advanced features and animations. Choose based on whether you prioritize event handling or richer UI elements.

Question 4

How to change the first day of the week in CalendarView?

Accepted Answer

Set the firstWeekday property in the CalendarView.Style object to .sunday or .monday. This adapts the calendar layout to regional preferences, with Monday as the default for European standards.

Question 5

Is CalendarView compatible with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but since it's a UIKit component, you'll need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable for integration into SwiftUI apps. This adds extra steps compared to using native SwiftUI calendar libraries.

Question 6

How to disable event syncing to keep the calendar lightweight?

Accepted Answer

Omit the KDCALENDAR_EVENT_MANAGER_ENABLED flag in your build settings. This prevents EventKit integration, simplifying setup and avoiding permission requests if events aren't needed.
