Calendar Rails 4

[Rodrigo Sanguanini]

Hello. 

I want to build a week calendar (with options to toggle bewteen month and day visions) in a Rails 4 app.

I know that I can use a JS calendar, like FullCalendar, but, I dont know how to do this and if this will overload the client-side when i get a lot of events.

I tried to search about it, but I cant find nothing.

I used data_builder and did the month vision, but I want do this to a week vision too.

Can someone give me a hint or show me how to do this?

Okay, and how can I transform this 

Into this

The above image is a example that what I want to do. 

Another thing is that when I use the SimpleCalendar and try to render the events, i get this error: 

undefined local variable or method `start_time' for #<Event:0x49278d8>

Event.rb (model)

class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
	extend SimpleCalendar
    has_calendar attribute: :start_time

end

There is an option called month_calendar that should give you that, but you can also look at the example that is on the documentation https://github.com/excid3/simple_calendar-ajax-example

Do you have a field in your database called start_time?

If this does not fill your requirements, you can also follow the railscasts on the comments on your stackoverflow post.

André, I have watched the revised episode of the calendar railscast but the episode cover only a month calendar, not a full day calendar (by hour).

And, i dont have a field called start_time in my db. 

I will take a look in that ajax example, thank you.

This is my own calendar helper: https://gist.github.com/andreorvalho/fdb28af8284b13fc9829

I have build it from the rails casts. if you look at my weeks method there, you can probably do the same for a day. create an array of hours and use them to render what you want.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.

I think that the simple_calendar can do this for me. I just need to learn how to render the hours inside the week, and how to render the events inside the hours.

I will take a look at your calendar helper, too. 

Thank you again.
