Skip a month in calendar in Angular Calendar component

27 Sep 20233 minutes to read

The following example demonstrates how to skip a month in a Calendar while clicking the previous and next icon. Here we have used the navigated event to skip a month using NavigateTo method.

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { CalendarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
        <ejs-calendar #ejCalendar (navigated)='onNavigate($event)'></ejs-calendar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('ejCalendar') ejCalendar?: CalendarComponent;
   //skips a month while cliking previous and next icon in month view.
   onNavigate(args : any):void {
    let date: Number | any;
    if ((<HTMLInputElement>(event as Event).currentTarget).classList.contains('e-next')) {
        //incrementing the month while clicking the next icon
        date = new Date(args.date.setMonth(args.date.getMonth() + 1));
    }
    if ((<HTMLInputElement>(event as Event).currentTarget).classList.contains('e-prev')) {
        //decrementing the month while clicking the previous icon
        date = new Date(args.date.setMonth(args.date.getMonth() - 1));
    }
    if (args.view == 'month') {
        this.ejCalendar?.navigateTo('month' as any, new Date('' + date));
    }
}
}

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
//Syncfusion ej2-angular-calendars module
import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';


/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        CalendarModule //declaration of ej2-angular-calendars module into NgModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
