Installation

Requirements

  • iOS 11.0+
  • Xcode 11.0+
  • Swift 5.0+

Installation via CocoaPods

pod 'SHCalendar'

Installation via Carthage

To integrate SHCalendar into your Xcode project using Carthage, add the following to your Cartfile:


github "your-username/SHCalendar"

Getting Started

Add SHCalendar to your Project

Before using the SHCalendar framework, you need to import it into your project. To do this, add the following import statement at the top of your Swift files where you want to use SHCalendar:


import SHCalendar

Displaying a Calendar

Use the SHCalendarView class to display a calendar in your app. Here’s how you can create and configure a basic calendar:


let calendarView = SHCalendarView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 320))
calendarView.delegate = self
calendarView.dataSource = self
addSubview(calendarView)

Remember to set the delegate and dataSource properties to implement the necessary calendar functionality.

Implementing SHCalendarDelegate

The SHCalendarDelegate protocol allows you to handle calendar interactions and events. Implement the methods from this protocol to customize the calendar’s behavior:


func calendar(_ calendar: SHCalendarView, didSelectDate date: Date)
func calendar(_ calendar: SHCalendarView, didChangeMonth month: Int, year: Int)

Implementing SHCalendarDataSource

The SHCalendarDataSource protocol provides the necessary methods to populate calendar cells with events or custom data. Implement these methods in your data source object:


func calendar(_ calendar: SHCalendarView, eventsFor date: Date) -> [SHCalendarEvent]
func calendar(_ calendar: SHCalendarView, configureCell cell: SHCalendarCell, date: Date)

Customization

Customizing Calendar Appearance

The SHCalendar framework provides various customization options to style the calendar according to your app’s design. You can customize properties such as font, colors, cell size, and more. Use the relevant properties provided by the SHCalendarView class to achieve the desired appearance:


calendarView.cellFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
calendarView.cellTextColor = .black
...

Customizing Event Cells

To customize the appearance of event cells, use the SHCalendarEventCell class. This class inherits from UICollectionViewCell and provides methods to configure event-specific properties:


let eventCell = SHCalendarEventCell()
eventCell.backgroundColor = .red
eventCell.titleLabel.textColor = .white
...

Customizing Calendar Behavior

SHCalendar also allows customization of various behaviors such as scrolling, selection, and event handling. Use the properties and methods provided by the SHCalendarView class to modify the calendar’s behavior:


calendarView.isScrollEnabled = false
calendarView.allowsSelection = true
...

Conclusion

With the SHCalendar framework, you can easily incorporate powerful calendar functionality into your iOS app. Whether it’s displaying events, managing reminders, or customizing the appearance, SHCalendar provides the tools you need to create a seamless calendar experience. Happy coding!
