Question 1

how to add events dynamically in ionic2-calendar

Accepted Answer

Use the eventSource array and call the loadEvents instance method after modifying it, as described in the EventSource and Instance Methods sections. This forces the calendar to reload events without reassigning the entire array.

Question 2

ionic2-calendar vs fullcalendar for ionic

Accepted Answer

Ionic-Calendar is specifically built for Ionic and Angular with deep integration and template customization, while FullCalendar is a more general-purpose library. Choose Ionic-Calendar for tighter Ionic UI patterns, but FullCalendar might offer more features out-of-the-box for complex use cases.

Question 3

ionic2-calendar localization not working

Accepted Answer

Ensure the locale option is set or LOCALE_ID is configured in the module, and for Angular 5+, register locale data manually as per the Localization section. Using explicit locale values is recommended over browser detection.

Question 4

how to customize event template in ionic calendar

Accepted Answer

Define a TemplateRef for templates like monthviewDisplayEventTemplate and bind it in the calendar component, allowing full control over event rendering with Angular template contexts.

Question 5

ionic2-calendar performance issues

Accepted Answer

Optimize by using custom dateFormatters to skip Intl-based localization for non-critical parts, and leverage queryMode for remote data loading to reduce client-side processing, as advised in the Performance Tuning section.

Question 6

install ionic2-calendar with latest ionic version

Accepted Answer

Check the dependency table to match the calendar version with your Ionic and Angular versions, and note that from version 1.0.x, you also need to install Swiper and import its CSS globally.
