skinnycal 0.1.6

A Plotly Dash wrapper for FullCalendar with premium (Scheduler) plugins bundled

skinnycal

A lightweight Plotly Dash wrapper around @fullcalendar/react, with the FullCalendar Premium (Scheduler) plugins statically bundled so resource views work out of the box.

Forked from dash-fullcalendar. See PREMIUM_FORK_CHANGES.md for the full rationale and diff notes.

Quick start

from dash import Dash, html
import skinnycal as dcal

app = Dash(__name__)

app.layout = html.Div([
    dcal.FullCalendar(
        id="cal",
        initialView="dayGridMonth",
        editable=True,
        selectable=True,
        events=[
            {"title": "Audit", "date": "2025-08-01"},
            {"title": "Go-Live", "date": "2025-08-10"},
        ],
    )
])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

Premium (Scheduler) views

Pass a valid schedulerLicenseKey and request a resource view — the premium plugins are already in the bundle, no async chunk fetch:

dcal.FullCalendar(
    id="cal",
    schedulerLicenseKey="GPL-My-Project-Is-Open-Source",  # or your commercial key
    plugins=["resourceTimeline", "interaction"],
    initialView="resourceTimelineWeek",
    resources=[{"id": "a", "title": "Room A"}, {"id": "b", "title": "Room B"}],
    events=[{"resourceId": "a", "title": "Kickoff", "start": "2025-08-01"}],
)

Releasing

Publishing is automated: any push to main triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which builds an sdist + wheel and uploads to PyPI via Trusted Publishing (OIDC). Pushes that don't bump the version are no-ops (skip-existing: true).

To cut a release, bump the version in all three places (they must stay in sync — __version__ is read from package-info.json at import time):

• pyproject.toml → [project].version
• skinnycal/package-info.json → version
• package.json → version

Then commit and push to main.
