I am struggling with implementing the fullCalendar library in Visual Studio 2015. I am encountering issues when trying to load events using an AJAX request. The events are not populating on the calendar as expected. If I provide only a single datetime and set allDay to true, the event shows up. However, I need it to work with specific times and have multiple events per day.
Here is my JS code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".calendar").fullCalendar
({
header: {
left: 'month,basicWeek,basicDay,today',
center: 'title',
right: 'prev,next'
},
weekends: false,
eventLimit: true,
theme: true,
editable: false,
fixedWeekCount: false,
events: function(start, end, timezone, callback)
{$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "/Calendar/GetCalendarEvents",
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data)
{
var events = [];
$.each(data, function (index, value) {
events.push({
id: value['id'],
title: value['title'],
date: value['date']
//all data
});
console.log(value)
});
callback(events);
},
error: function (xhr, err) {
alert("ERROR! - readyState: " + xhr.readyState + "<br/>status: " + xhr.status + "<br/>responseText: " + xhr.responseText);
}
});
} });})
Note: This code represents one of several attempts I've made to resolve the issue.
Now moving onto the Controller code:
public ActionResult GetCalendarEvents()
{
var events = new List<VMCalendarEvents>();
var db_events = db.PatientVisits.ToList();
foreach(var e in db_events)
{
DateTime visit_start = Convert.ToDateTime(e.VisitStart);
DateTime visit_end = Convert.ToDateTime(e.VisitEnd);
var calEvent = new VMCalendarEvents
{
id = e.PatientVisitID.ToString(),
title = "Placeholder Title" + e.PatientVisitID.ToString(),
date = visit_start.ToShortDateString(),
start = visit_start.ToString(),
end = visit_end.ToString(),
editable = true,
allDay = false
};
events.Add(calEvent);
}
var rows = events.ToArray();
return Json(rows, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);}
Preview JS Objects from Controller
UPDATE: Issue Resolved
After conducting some investigation, I decided to use Razor within MVC to tackle the problem. Instead of storing the logic in a separate JS file, I included it in a script section within the HTML file. By incorporating the following code snippet, I managed to receive objects in the desired date formats (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:dd & MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt):
$(function () {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
defaultDate: '2017-06-12',
editable: true,
events: '@Url.Action("GetCalendarEvents", "Calendar")',
});
});
I utilized the URL Action command to call the Controller and obtain JSON data as an action result.
