Dates

The date can be defined using the next rules.

1. Allowed year range: [1900, 2100]

2. Any delimiter from the list can be used:

   • -

   • .

   • /

3. Allowed formats:

   • YYYY.mm.dd

   • dd.mm.YYYY

   • dd.mm.YY - will use 20th century

   • dd.mm - for the current year

As an example, let’s look for example at the same data in all formats (assume, that the current year is 2022):

• 2022-06-21

• 21.06.2022

• 21/06/22

• 21/06

Styles

You can change styles by setting the required parameter. See the full list of parameters in the file: style.py

Example:

from calendar_view.config import style

style.hour_height = 80
style.event_notes_color = '#7F7F7F'

Examples

1. Basic usage

Most basic and simplest usage. Doesn’t have a configuration.

Code:

from calendar_view.calendar import Calendar
from calendar_view.core.event import EventStyles

calendar = Calendar.build()
calendar.add_event(day_of_week=0, start='08:00', end='17:00', style=EventStyles.GRAY)
calendar.add_event(day_of_week=5, start='09:00', end='12:00', style=EventStyles.RED)
calendar.add_event(day_of_week=5, start='10:00', end='13:00', style=EventStyles.BLUE)
calendar.add_event(day_of_week=6, start='15:00', end='18:00')
calendar.save("simple_view.png")

Output:

2. Configuration and specific dates

View for one script. Configuration objects and events with specific dates are used.

Code:

from calendar_view.calendar import Calendar
from calendar_view.core import data
from calendar_view.core.event import Event

config = data.CalendarConfig(
    lang='en',
    title='Sprint 23',
    dates='2019-09-23 - 2019-09-27',
    show_year=True,
    mode='working_hours',
    legend=False,
)
events = [
    Event('Planning', day='2019-09-23', start='11:00', end='13:00'),
    Event('Demo', day='2019-09-27', start='15:00', end='16:00'),
    Event('Retrospective', day='2019-09-27', start='17:00', end='18:00'),
]

data.validate_config(config)
data.validate_events(events, config)

calendar = Calendar.build(config)
calendar.add_events(events)
calendar.save("sprint_23.png")
