Using AJAX response to fill JSON object

I'm using fullcalender.io which takes in a json array of objects. I'm using AJAX to call a php function, which succesfully returns a JSON object which i can see in the console. I just can't get it to full up the events object as it tells me events is not defined. I've tried initiating var events before but it doesnt the variable isnt defined.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: [
//Here needs to be filled
],
dayClick: function(date, jsEvent, view) {
var data = {
action: 'getCountOfReservationOnDate',
date: date.format() + " 00:00:00"
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/modules/ajax/ajax_handler.php",
data: data
})
.done((result)=>{
if(result) {
console.log(data);
console.log(JSON.parse(result));
events.push(result); //From here
} else {
alert("Failed.")
console.log(result);
}
})
.fail(function($xhr) {
var data = $xhr.responseJSON;
//$("#validationError").text(data.message);
console.log(data.message);
})
.always(()=>{
//$('#loader').hide();
})
}

fullcalender.io provide some documentation related to ajax usage (events as a json feed). Consider the following script:
var calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
events: '/modules/ajax/ajax_handler.php'
});
You might need to change your /modules/ajax/ajax_handler.php to provide the correct output. Since you did not post the code from it I'm not able to check it, but you probably find the answer on the linked document.

Your can try creating a variable where your ajax function can access it,
or create that variable globally at the topmost line in your file
tempEvent
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: [
//Your can for loop the tempEvent to fill here
],
dayClick: function(date, jsEvent, view) {
var tempEvent = []
var data = {
action: 'getCountOfReservationOnDate',
date: date.format() + " 00:00:00"
}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/modules/ajax/ajax_handler.php",
data: data
})
.done((result)=>{
if(result) {
console.log(data);
console.log(JSON.parse(result));
tempEvent.push(result); //From here
} else {
alert("Failed.")
console.log(result);
}
})
.fail(function($xhr) {
var data = $xhr.responseJSON;
//$("#validationError").text(data.message);
console.log(data.message);
})
.always(()=>{
//$('#loader').hide();
})
}

can i put schedule in fullcalendar as ajax?

I want to add the ability to schedule in fullcalendar, Laravel. The method is working as expected however, I do not understand what to do with the response data.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left : 'today, prev,next',
center: 'title',
right : '',
},
locale:'ko',
height:'parent',
events : function(start, end, timezone, callback){
var month = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate').format('YYYY-MM');
var url = '{{route('reservation.get_schedule',[request()->id])}}';
alert(url)
$.ajax({
type : 'get',
data : {'date' : month},
url : url,
datatype : 'json',
success : function(data){
console.log(data); // How do I use the data
}
});
}
});

The documentation for events-as-a-function says:
[The function]... will also be given callback, a function that must be called when
the custom event function has generated its events. It is the event
function’s responsibility to make sure callback is being called with
an array of Event Objects.
There's also an example on that page where the callback function is employed to pass the event data returned from the AJAX call into fullCalendar.
So in your case (assuming that your event data is already in the format required by fullCalendar and doesn't need any transformation) you would simply add a call to this function inside your "success" callback:
events : function(start, end, timezone, callback){
var month = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate').format('YYYY-MM');
var url = '{{route('reservation.get_schedule',[request()->id])}}';
alert(url)
$.ajax({
type : 'get',
data : {'date' : month},
url : url,
datatype : 'json',
success : function(data){
console.log(data);
callback(data); //pass the event data to fullCalendar via the provided callback function
}
});
}

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: function(start, end, timezone, callback) {
$.ajax({
url: 'myxmlfeed.php',
dataType: 'xml',
data: {
// our hypothetical feed requires UNIX timestamps
start: start.unix(),
end: end.unix()
},
success: function(doc) {
var events = [];
$(doc).find('event').each(function() {
events.push({
title: $(this).attr('title'),
start: $(this).attr('start') // will be parsed
});
});
callback(events);
}
});
}
});

unable to create dynamic events in fullcalendar

i have a situation in which i m trying to create events dynamically using the plugin fullcalendar im trying to create events with the help of the ajax call and the data retrieved is in the form of json
when i m trying to create events only event at index 0 is getting created rest of events are not created
the javascript code is as follows
function showData()
{
var ids = showValidData();
if (ids.length != 0)
{
$.ajax({
url: $("#base-url").val() ,
type: 'POST',
data: {'ids': ids},
dataType: 'json',
success: function (response)
{
var data = response.data;
var myevents = [];
if (response.success)
{
$(data).each(function (index, value) {
myevents.push({
title: value.layoutName,
start: value.startDate,
end: value.endDate
});
});
console.log(myevents);
$(".fc-event-container").click();
$('#calendar-example-1').fullCalendar({
events: myevents,});
return;
}
}
});
}
}

Set events when initializing FullCalendar - define the url of the script that returns a json of events from your database (https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_data/events_function/). If you want to dynamically refresh the calendar , you can add a setInterval ontop:
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(function(){$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents')}, 30000);
$("#calendar").fullCalendar({
...
events: {
url: 'script.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {
data1: x,
data2: y
},
success : function(response){
// do something
},
}
});
});

Maplacejs is duplicating controls when updated

I am using a jQuery plugin called Maplacejs (https://maplacejs.com/) to make Google Maps manipulation easier for me (I am new with this subject).
I first create a variable to set (initialize) Maplace:
var maplace = new Maplace({
map_div: '#mappanel',
controls_type: 'dropdown',
controls_title: 'Select a point:',
controls_position: google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT
});
Then I create a function to load the locations in Maplace using ajax, when a certain date is selected in a dropdown menu:
function loadMap() {
$.ajax({
url: 'includes/ajax_getmap.php',
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
timeout: 5000,
data: { date: $('#dateselect').val() },
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
maplace.SetLocations(data.locations, true);
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(errorThrown)
}
});
}
Here is an example of the locations array loaded with ajax:
{"locations":[
{"lat":52.1,"lon":11.3,"title":"Title 1","html":"<h3>Content 1</h3>","zoom":8},
{"lat":51.2,"lon":22.2,"title":"Title 2","html":"<h3>Content 2</h3>","zoom":8},
{"lat":49.4,"lon":35.9,"title":"Title 3","html":"<h3>Content 3</h3>","zoom":8},
{"lat":47.8,"lon":15.6,"title":"Title 4","html":"<h3>Content D2</h3>","zoom":8}
]}
And here is the code used to "call" the function (list of dates):
$('#dateselect').selectmenu({
style: 'dropdown',
change: function(event, data) {
loadMap();
}
});
The problem is: everytime this function is called, controls get duplicated in the map. Here is an example image after I call the function 3 times:
I already tried to create the maplace variable inside the ajax "sucess" event, and even set the variable to "null" or "undefined", but without sucess :(
Please, can you help me?

For whom have the same problem, it was an issue and was fixed by latest version 0.2.8 (March 2017). Download last version here.

fullcalendar js: fetching more events with ajax

I'm using fullcalendar,
how can I fetch more events from same server side, multiple urls?
The initial one works, I just want to add additional events when they arrive(ajax).

You could use Ajax to get the data and then add dynamically the new source
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
success: function(data){
var source = { events: [
{
title: data.getTitle(),
start: new Date(year, month, day)
}
]};
$('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'addEventSource', source );
}
});

If each and every time you are using a different URL, then you can simply use addEventSource with the new URL.
If you are attempting to use the same URL, you can get all events (old and new) using refetchEvents.
You can also get the JSON and create the event as a client event using renderEvent. The latter is the most "ajax-y" of the options. In this case have your source return the JSON that represents the events, iterate through the array of new events, and call renderEvent on it.
// this call goes in a poll or happens when the something should trigger a
// fetching of new events
$.ajax({
url: "path/to/event/source",
success: function(data){
$.each(data, function(index, event)
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', event);
);
}
});

The ajax call done can also insert in the calendar code
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'GET',
data: { },
error: function() {
alert('there was an error while fetching events!');
}
}).done(function (doc) {
var event = Array();
$.each(doc, function(i, entry)
event.push({title: entry.title, start: entry.start});
});
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
defaultDate: '2014-06-12',
editable: true,
events: event
});
});
