  2. Code in index.html 
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Zabuto Calendar</title>
        <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
        <link href="zabuto_calendar.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
        <div id="calendar" style="width: 500px; margin: 0 auto;"></div>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <script src="zabuto_calendar.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $('#calendar').zabuto_calendar({
                    language: 'en'
                });
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Events data property

In previous tutorial, we can change the language by passing an object to zabuto_calendar() initialize function. The object property is language and the value is string of the language code, example id (Indonesian) and en (English). For showing events data, we must set the data as property and the value is array of objects.

Array of objects

Many beginner got confuse of this. Array of objects is simply an normal array, but the elements are an object instead of string or integer. For example:

  1. This is an array of integers 
    var days = [4, 5, 6];
  2. This is an object 
    var person = {
    name: 'john',
    age: 12
};
  3. This is an array of objects 
    var people = [
    {
        'name': 'tony',
        'age': 24
    },
    {
        'name': 'angel',
        'age': 23
    },
    {
        'name': 'paul',
        'age': 37
    }
];
Array of objects property

Here are the single object property for each data array:

  1. date: set the date for event
  2. badge: mark important event
  3. title: appear when hovering to specific date
{
    'date': '2018-01-14',
    'badge': true
    'title': 'Meeting with John'
}
Add data to our calendar
  1. Edit index.html and insert the data array of objects. 
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#calendar').zabuto_calendar({
            language: 'en',
            data: [
                {
                    'date': '2018-01-11',
                    'badge': true,
                    'title': 'Meeting with John'
                },
                {
                    'date': '2018-01-13',
                    'badge': false,
                    'title': 'Go to market'
                }
            ]
        });
    });
</script>
  2. Open index.html and it will display our events with light orange color. There will be extra dot mark with more solid orange color if the badge set to true. Try hovering to one of the event, and it will show the event title.

Add action onclick
  1. To add onclick action, we can add action property as function. Inside this function we can get the selected date and do any action. For example, we will alert our selected date. 
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#calendar').zabuto_calendar({
            language: 'en',
            data: [
                {
                    'date': '2018-01-11',
                    'badge': true,
                    'title': 'Meeting with John'
                },
                {
                    'date': '2018-01-13',
                    'badge': false,
                    'title': 'Go to market'
                }
            ],
            action: function () {
                //get the selected date
                var date = $('#' + this.id).data('date');
                //alert the date
                alert('You clicked date: ' + date);
            }
        });
    });
</script>
  2. Refresh index.html and try to click any date. It should display an alert popup.

Mark today date

Add today property and set the value to true, so today date will be marked as blue dot.
