Expo Calendar

A library that provides an API for interacting with the device's system calendars, events, reminders, and associated records.

Android

iOS

expo-calendar provides an API for interacting with the device's system calendars, events, reminders, and associated records.

Additionally, it provides methods to launch the system-provided calendar UI to allow user view or edit events. On Android, these methods start the system calendar app using an Intent. On iOS, they present either EKEventViewController or EKEventEditViewController as a modal.

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install expo-calendar

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app (bare workflow), start by installing expo in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.

Configuration in app.json/app.config.js

You can configure expo-calendar using its built-in config plugin if you use config plugins in your project (EAS Build or npx expo run:[android|ios]). The plugin allows you to configure various properties that cannot be set at runtime and require building a new app binary to take effect.

Example app.json with config plugin

app.json

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-calendar",
        {
          "calendarPermission": "The app needs to access your calendar."
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

Configurable properties

Name	Default	Description
`calendarPermission`	`"Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your calendar"`	Only for: iOS A string to set the `NSCalendarsUsageDescription` permission message.
`remindersPermission`	`"Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your reminders"`	Only for: iOS A string to set the `NSRemindersUsageDescription` permission message.

Are you using this library in a bare React Native app?

Learn how to configure the native projects in the installation instructions in the expo-calendar repository.

Usage

Basic Calendar usage

        console.log('Here are all your calendars:');
        console.log({ calendars });
      }
    })();
  }, []);

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Calendar Module Example</Text>
      <Button title="Create a new calendar" onPress={createCalendar} />
    </View>
  );
}

async function getDefaultCalendarSource() {
  const defaultCalendar = await Calendar.getDefaultCalendarAsync();
  return defaultCalendar.source;
}

async function createCalendar() {
  const defaultCalendarSource =
    Platform.OS === 'ios'
      ? await getDefaultCalendarSource()
      : { isLocalAccount: true, name: 'Expo Calendar' };
  const newCalendarID = await Calendar.createCalendarAsync({
    title: 'Expo Calendar',
    color: 'blue',
    entityType: Calendar.EntityTypes.EVENT,
    sourceId: defaultCalendarSource.id,
    source: defaultCalendarSource,
    name: 'internalCalendarName',
    ownerAccount: 'personal',
    accessLevel: Calendar.CalendarAccessLevel.OWNER,
  });
  console.log(`Your new calendar ID is: ${newCalendarID}`);
}

    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'space-around',

occurrence (optional)	`number`	Number of times the calendar item should recur before stopping.
setPositions (optional)	`number[]`	Only for: iOS TAn array of numbers that filters which recurrences to include. For example, for an event that recurs every Monday, passing 2 here will make it recur every other Monday. `-366` to `366` (not including `0`). Negative indicates a value from the end of the range. This field is only valid for `Calendar.Frequency.Yearly`.
weeksOfTheYear (optional)	`number[]`	Only for: iOS The weeks of the year this event occurs on. `-53` to `53` (not including `0`). Negative indicates a value from the end of the range. This field is only valid for `Calendar.Frequency.Yearly`.

If `true`, will apply the given changes to the recurring instance specified by `instanceStartDate` and all future events in the series. If `false`, will only apply the given changes to the instance specified by `instanceStartDate`.
instanceStartDate (optional)	`string \| Date`	Date object representing the start time of the desired instance, if looking for a single instance of a recurring event. If this is not provided and id represents a recurring event, the first instance of that event will be returned by default.
