React Native Calendar Events

React Native Module for IOS and Android Calendar Events

Install

npm install --save react-native-calendar-events

And link

react-native link

Or you can do it manually by following the instructions below.

iOS

Add RNCalendarEvents, as well as EventKit.framework to project libraries.

For iOS 8 compatibility, you may need to link your project with CoreFoundation.framework (status = Optional) under Link Binary With Libraries on the Build Phases page of your project settings.

Setting up privacy usage descriptions may also be require depending on which iOS version is supported. This involves updating the Property List, Info.plist, with the corresponding key for the EKEventStore api. Info.plist reference.

For updating the Info.plist key/value via Xcode, add a Privacy - Calendars Usage Description key with a usage description as the value.

Android

• Edit build.gradle to look like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  ...
}

dependencies {
  ...
  compile project(':react-native-calendar-events')
}

• In settings.gradle, insert the following code:

include ':react-native-calendar-events'
project(':react-native-calendar-events').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-calendar-events/android')

• Edit your MainApplication.java to look like this:

import com.calendarevents.CalendarEventsPackage;

...

  @Override
	protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
		return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
						new MainReactPackage(),
						new CalendarEventsPackage() // <-- Add this line
		);
	}
	...
}

• If your apps targetSDK is 23 or higher, edit your MainActivity.java to look like this:

import com.calendarevents.CalendarEventsPackage;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  ...

  @Override
  public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
      CalendarEventsPackage.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
      super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
  }

  ...
}
