Tabris.js Calendar Plugin

A calendar widget for Tabris.js, allowing to show and pick a date. Currently only Android is supported.

Compatibility

Compatible with Tabris.js 3.x. For Tabris.js 2.x compatibility see the branch 1.x-tabris-2.x.

Example

The following snippet shows how the tabris-plugin-calendar plugin can be used in a Tabris.js app:

new escalendar.Calendar({
  left: 0, right: 0, top: 0, bottom: 0,
  date: 946684800000 // year 2000
}).on('dateChanged', ({value: date}) => console.log(date))
  .appendTo(tabris.ui.contentView);

A more elaborate example can be found in the example folder. It provides a Tabris.js project that demonstrates the various features of the tabris-plugin-calendar widget. Consult the README of the example for build instructions.

Integrating the plugin

The Tabris.js website provides detailed information on how to integrate custom widgets in your Tabris.js app. To add the plugin to your app add the following entry in your apps config.xml:

<plugin name="tabris-plugin-calendar" spec="^1.0.0" />

To fetch the latest development version use the GitHub URL:

API

The widget api consists of the object escalendar.Calendar with the following properties and events.

Development of the widget

While not required by the consumer or the widget, this repository provides a project folder that contains platform specific development artifacts. These artifacts allow to more easily consume the native source code when developing the native parts of the widget.

Android

The project provides a gradle based build configuration, which also allows to import the project into Android Studio.

In order to reference the Tabris.js specific APIs, the environment variable TABRIS_ANDROID_PLATFORM has to point to the Tabris.js Android Cordova platform root directory.

export TABRIS_ANDROID_PLATFORM=/home/user/tabris-android-cordova

The environment variable is consumed in the gradle projects build.gradle file.
