Calendar Views in React Calendar component

28 Nov 2022 / 3 minutes to read

The Calendar has the following predefined 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.

    return <CalendarComponent id="calendar" start="Year" />;
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

View Restriction

Calendar view can be restricted by defining the start and depth

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.

You can restrict the calendar’s drill down navigation by defining the start and depth property

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