Question 1

How to use GLCalendarView in a Swift project?

Accepted Answer

Add a bridging header to import Objective-C files, use CocoaPods with `use_frameworks!`, and ensure your model classes inherit from NSObject for binding. Handle delegate methods with Swift syntax via @objc annotations.

Question 2

GLCalendarView vs FSCalendar: which is better for date ranges?

Accepted Answer

GLCalendarView is specialized for interactive date range management with model binding, while FSCalendar offers broader calendar features and better Swift support. Choose GLCalendarView if ranges are central; otherwise, FSCalendar might be more versatile.

Question 3

How to customize the colors and fonts in GLCalendarView?

Accepted Answer

Use the appearance API in your AppDelegate, setting properties like `rowHeight`, `padding`, and label attributes such as `weekDayTitleAttributes`. Refer to the header file for all customizable fields listed in the README.

Question 4

Can I bind Swift structs to ranges in GLCalendarView?

Accepted Answer

No, binding requires Objective-C compatible objects, so use classes inheriting from NSObject. Swift structs need to be wrapped in classes or converted to avoid runtime issues.

Question 5

Is GLCalendarView still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

The latest CocoaPods version is 1.0.0, and the GitHub repo shows limited recent activity. Check for updates or community forks if ongoing maintenance is critical for your project.

Question 6

How to implement date validation when adding ranges?

Accepted Answer

Implement the `canAddRangeWithBeginDate` delegate method to return YES or NO based on your logic, such as checking against existing bookings or date constraints, as shown in the sample code.
