GetEvents from FullCalendar

I'm working with Full Calendar I want to create a button that take all the events from the calendar and send them to my database. But when trying to call the getEvents method referenced here from the calendar object, I cannot get it to work. The method doesn't seem to exist. I get undefined method.
Below is a snippet of the initialization of the calendar.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
headerToolbar: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay'
},
initialDate: '2020-09-12',
navLinks: true, // can click day/week names to navigate views
selectable: true,
selectMirror: true,
select: function(arg) {
var title = prompt('Event Title:');
if (title) {
calendar.addEvent({
title: title,
start: arg.start,
end: arg.end,
allDay: arg.allDay
})
}
calendar.unselect()
},
eventClick: function(arg) {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this event?')) {
arg.event.remove()
}
},
editable: true,
dayMaxEvents: true, // allow "more" link when too many events
events: [
{
title: 'All Day Event',
start: '2020-09-01'
},
{
title: 'Long Event',
start: '2020-09-07',
end: '2020-09-10'
},
{
groupId: 999,
title: 'Repeating Event',
start: '2020-09-09T16:00:00'
},
{
groupId: 999,
title: 'Repeating Event',
start: '2020-09-16T16:00:00'
},
{
title: 'Conference',
start: '2020-09-11',
end: '2020-09-13'
},
{
title: 'Click for Google',
url: 'http://google.com/',
start: '2020-09-28'
}
]
});
calendar.render();
I use the last version of Full Calendar (v5)
When I try to create a button that will get the calendar then retrieve all the events and send it to my database I get error saying that the function doesn't exist.
Here is how I do that :
var calendar = document.getElementById("calendar");
/* I can do that since I have my calendar with the id "calendar"
And then I try use the getEvents function
*/
var events = calendar.getEvents();
/* Show undefined */
<div id="calendar"></div>
Super Important Note: I realized that the function doesn't exist since I try to apply it to the HTML element and not the FullCalendar JS object. So my question is how can I get a FullCalendar JS Object from the HTML element in order to retrieve the events that the user has saved ??

Your problem is because var calendar = document.getElementById("calendar"); fetches the HTML element into which the rest of the calendar's HTML was added by fullCalendar. It does not fetch the fullCalendar instance which was generated by new FullCalendar.Calendar when you intialised the calendar. It's the latter which exposes the functions to manipulate the calendar or get data from it.
Notice how you already use that object in your code to call fullCalendar's render function, e.g. calendar.render();.
(The HTML element object just contains standard functions found on any HTML element, not anything specific to fullCalendar.)
So in summary you need to use the calendar variable you created from the new FullCalendar... instantiation. If you need access to that outside the scope it was originally declared in (which is the callback of the DOMContentLoaded event handler), then one way round that is to make it a global variable, e.g.
var calendar; //global variable
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
....
});
calendar.render();
});
Then somewhere else in your code, wherever you need it, you can write
var events = calendar.getEvents();

Fullcalendar refetch eventsource

As the title says, I have a question regarding EventSource in the fullcalendar.
At the moment I can load 1 google calendar in the fullcalendar. And know how to add multiple google calendars.
However, I want to use checkboxes (linked to their own google calendar), I dynamically create an array with the googleCalendarIds, all this works, but I can't get the calendar to "refetch" all the event from the google calendars in the array.
At the moment, this is the code I use to populate the calendar:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var selected = [];
$('.badgebox:checked').each(function() {
selected.push({
'googleCalendarId' : $(this).val(),
'className' : $(this).data('color')
});
});
$('.badgebox').on('click', function() {
if($(this).prop('checked')) {
selected.push({
'googleCalendarId' : $(this).val(),
'className' : $(this).data('color')
});
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchResources');
}else{
index = selected.findIndex(obj => obj.googleCalendarId === $(this).val());
selected.splice(index, 1);
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchResources');
}
});
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
header: {
center: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek'
},
views: {
dayGridMonth: {
titleFormat: { year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit' }
}
},
plugins: [ 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid', 'bootstrap', 'googleCalendar' ],
googleCalendarApiKey: 'api key',
eventSources: selected,
eventClick: function(info) {
info.jsEvent.preventDefault();
},
defaultView: 'timeGridWeek',
weekNumbers: true,
locale: 'nl',
themeSystem: 'bootstrap',
nowIndicator: true
});
calendar.render();
});
But what I am getting is an error:
TypeError: $(...).fullCalendar is not a function
I have loaded all the files needed (and can see they are loaded).
Edit current code
This is the code I use now, but still not sure how to fix the resources part (refreshing):
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var curSource = [];
$('.badgebox:checked').each(function() {
curSource.push({
'googleCalendarId' : $(this).val(),
'className' : $(this).data('color')
});
});
var newSource = [];
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
schedulerLicenseKey: 'key',
header: {
center: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek'
},
views: {
dayGridMonth: {
titleFormat: { year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit' }
}
},
plugins: [ 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid', 'bootstrap', 'googleCalendar', 'resourceTimeGrid', 'resourceDayGrid' ],
googleCalendarApiKey: 'apikey',
eventSources: curSource,
eventClick: function(info) {
info.jsEvent.preventDefault();
},
defaultView: 'timeGridWeek',
weekNumbers: true,
locale: 'nl',
themeSystem: 'bootstrap',
nowIndicator: true
});
$('.badgebox').on('change', function() {
if($(this).prop('checked')) {
newSource.push({
'googleCalendarId' : $(this).val(),
'className' : $(this).data('color')
});
}else{
index = newSource.findIndex(obj => obj.googleCalendarId === $(this).val());
newSource.splice(index, 1);
}
curSource = newSource;
calendar.getEventSources().forEach(eventSource => {
eventSource.remove()
});
calendar.addEventSource(curSource);
});
calendar.render();
});
Any idea?

Your logic for adding and removing event sources is flawed - it'll remove all the previous sources, but only ever add the currently selected one (well, except that you never clear newSource so it'll contain all sorts of duplication after a while). The other problem is that when you write calendar.addEventSource(curSource); you're adding an array of event sources (even though it only ever contains one item) but adding it as if it was a single event source object. Therefore it's not in the format fullCalendar expects, so it doesn't add anything.
Instead you can just use the same logic you use when you first declare the calendar, to loop through all the currently selected checkboxes and set all of them as the current sources. This is the simplest way to do it. Just move that logic into a function so you can re-use it. It also removes the necessity for global objects containing the list of sources. Something like this:
function getEventSources() {
var sources = [];
$(".badgebox:checked").each(function() {
sources.push({
id: $(this).val(),
'googleCalendarId' : $(this).val(),
className: $(this).data("color")
});
});
return sources;
}
Then in the calendar config, set the initial event sources by calling the function:
eventSources: getEventSources(),
And handle the "change" event on the checkboxes like this:
$(".badgebox").on("change", function() {
//remove event sources
calendar.getEventSources().forEach(eventSource => {
eventSource.remove();
});
//get currently selected sources
var sources = getEventSources();
//add each new source to the calendar
sources.forEach(eventSource => {
calendar.addEventSource(eventSource);
});
});
I made a live demo here: https://codepen.io/ADyson82/pen/Jjoovym. I couldn't use google calendars for the demo obviously so I've done it with hard-coded lists of events, but the overall logic of the process is identical.

disable eventClick to google events

Reading through the documentation on FullCalendar, I thought I could find a way to disable clicking an event, leading the browser to the original Google Calendar. But for unknown reasons the script I use does not disable the browser to open a new window.
I am quite new to script, so I may have easily made a mistake.
This is what I tried to use but does not function, yet...
<script>$(document).ready(function() {
// page is now ready, initialize the calendar...
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
// put your options and callbacks here
weekNumbers: 'true',
header: {
left: 'title',
center: '',
right: 'today,prev,next,',
},
editable: 'true',
eventSources: [
{url: 'https://www.google.com/ca...',
className: 'tehuur',
},
{url: 'https://www.google.com/cale...',
className: 'verhuurd',
},
],
eventClick: function(event) {
if (event.url) {
window.open(event.url);
return false;
}
}
})
});
Can anybody point me in the right direction to disable the eventClick. Thanks for your help.
Ben

eventClick: function(event) {
if (event.url) {
if (event.url.includes('google.com')){
return false;
}
console.log(event.url.includes('google.com'));
}
}

Just remove the eventClick function. Fiddle here
This line was opening a new window to google calendar: window.open(event.url);
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
weekNumbers: 'true',
header: {
left: 'title',
center: '',
right: 'today,prev,next,',
},
editable: true,
events: 'http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/usa__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic',
eventClick: function() {
return false;
}
});
});
Edit:
If you want to redirect instead of opening a new window you should use:
window.location.href = event.url;
instead of window.open(event.url).

AngularJS and Fullcalendar: eventClick works only first time

I'm using the Angular module based on fullcalendar: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-calendar along with the dialog module from ng-bootstrap. I configured the calendar to show a dialog for editing an event on eventClick action. It works fine only once. After closing first dialog and clicking again on any event new dialog doesn't show. But when I click on any other link on page, all desired dialogs shows one by one like they're queued somewhere some way.
Here's snippet from my controller:
$scope.showEditVisitDialog = function (event) {
var editVisitDialogOpts = {
backdropClick: false,
templateUrl: 'views/addEditVisitDialog.html',
controller: 'AddEditVisitDialogController',
resolve: {
patientId: function () {
return event.patientId;
},
visitId: function () {
return event.id;
}
}
};
var editVisitDialog = $dialog.dialog(editVisitDialogOpts);
editVisitDialog.open().then(function (updatedVisit) {
//some action
});
};
$scope.calendar = {
height: 450,
editable: true,
header: {
left: 'month agendaWeek ',
center: 'title',
right: 'today prev,next'
},
eventClick: $scope.showEditVisitDialog
};
$scope.events = [];
$scope.eventSources = [$scope.events]
Events are fetched from REST later in the controller.
In html:
<div ui-calendar="calendar" config="calendar" ng-model="eventSources"/>
No errors in console, what am I doing wrong?
Code on plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/89sQfsU85zN4uxauFI2Y?p=preview

As always, things are simpler and more obvious when there's a fiddle/plnkr available. You need to place your call to showEditVisitDialog inside the $apply function:
...
$scope.calendar = {
editable: true,
eventClick: function(){
$scope.$apply(function(){
$scope.showEditVisitDialog()
});
}
};
...
Working plnkr.

you need to declare you fnction before uiConfig for the calendar ;)
