FullCalendar - Full-sized drag & drop event calendar

This document describes how to modify or contribute to the FullCalendar project. If you are looking for end-developer documentation, please visit the project homepage.

Getting Set Up

You will need Git, Node, and NPM installed. For clarification, please view the jQuery readme, which requires a similar setup.

Also, you will need the grunt-cli and bower packages installed globally (-g) on your system:

npm install -g grunt-cli bower

Then, clone FullCalendar's git repo:

git clone git://github.com/arshaw/fullcalendar.git

Enter the directory and install FullCalendar's development dependencies:

cd fullcalendar && npm install

Development Workflow

After you make code changes, you'll want to compile the JS/CSS so that it can be previewed from the tests and demos. You can either manually rebuild each time you make a change:

grunt dev

Or, you can run a script that automatically rebuilds whenever you save a source file:

./build/watch

You can optionally add the --sourceMap flag to output source maps for debugging.

When you are finished, run the following command to write the distributable files into the ./build/out/ and ./build/dist/ directories:

grunt

If you want to clean up the generated files, run:

grunt clean

Style Guide

Please follow the Google JavaScript Style Guide as closely as possible. With the following exceptions:

if (true) {
}
else { // please put else, else if, and catch on a separate line
}

// please write one-line array literals with a one-space padding inside
var a = [ 1, 2, 3 ];

// please write one-line object literals with a one-space padding inside
var o = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 };

Other exceptions:

• please ignore anything about Google Closure Compiler or the goog library
• please do not write JSDoc comments

Notes about whitespace:

• use tabs instead of spaces
• separate functions with 2 blank lines
• separate logical blocks within functions with 1 blank line

Run the command line tool to automatically check your style:

grunt check

Before Contributing!

If you have edited code (including tests and translations) and would like to submit a pull request, please make sure you have done the following:

1. Conformed to the style guide (successfully run grunt check)

2. Written automated tests. View the Automated Test README
