Calendar views in Angular Calendar component

27 Apr 20245 minutes to read

The Calendar has the following pre-defined views that provides a flexible way to navigate back and forth to select the date.
Use the start property to change the default view of the Calendar.

View	Description
month (default)	Displays the days in a month
year	Displays the months in a year
decade	Displays the years in a decade

The following example demonstrates how to set the year as the start view of the Calendar.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        CalendarModule //declaration of ej2-angular-calendars module into NgModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
        <!-- Sets the value, start-->
        <ejs-calendar  [value]='dateValue' start='Year'></ejs-calendar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {
    public dateValue: Object = new Date();
    constructor() {
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

View Restriction

Calendar view navigation can be restricted by defining the start and depth property that allows you to select the date from that view.

By defining the start and depth property with the different view, drill-down and drill-up views navigation can be limited to the user. Calendar views will be drill-down up to the view which is set in depth property and drill-up up to the view which is set in start property.

Always the depth view has to be smaller than the start view.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        CalendarModule //declaration of ej2-angular-calendars module into NgModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
        <!-- Sets the value, start and depth-->
        <ejs-calendar #ejCalendar [value]='dateValue' start='Decade' depth='Year'></ejs-calendar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {
    public dateValue: Object = new Date();
    constructor() {
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

You can restrict the calendar’s drill down navigation by defining the start and depth property with same view that allows to select the date on that view itself.

The following example demonstrates how to select the dates in year view.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        CalendarModule //declaration of ej2-angular-calendars module into NgModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
        <!-- Sets the value, start and depth"-->
        <ejs-calendar #ejCalendar [value]='dateValue' start='Year' depth='Year'></ejs-calendar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {
    public dateValue: Object = new Date();
    constructor() {
    }
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
