Installation
In your JavaScript application, you can install Nylas Agenda with:
- npm
npm i @nylas/components-agenda - Yarn
yarn add npm i @nylas/components-agenda
Alternatively, on an html page, you can load the Agenda using a script tag:
<head>
<!-- Import the script from CDN -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@nylas/components-agenda"></script>
</head>
For both installation options, in the body of your page, you can instantiate the agenda with <nylas-agenda></nylas-agenda>.
Using It in Your App
All Nylas components have two ways of displaying data to your end-user:
Fetching data directly from Nylas
Setup
If you haven't registered for a Nylas account yet, you can do so at dashboard.nylas.com. Once there, head to the Components tab and create a new Agenda component.
You'll be guided through the component setup and be given the option to tie your component to your calendar account. Review the Agenda Documentation.
Allowed domains
During the setup process, you'll be prompted to provide a list of allowed domains. Be sure to add any domains you'll be testing your app on, including localhost, and any staging and production URLs you might use.
Passing in your own data
Nylas Agenda can be used as a UI on top of any event data that you provide. Events should follow the Nylas events object standard.
🔔 Events

The property to use for this is events. You can pass in a JSON array of events.
const staticEvents = [

"description": "Passed in from HTML!",
"participants": [],
"when": { "end_time": 1600444800, "object": "timespan", "start_time": 1600438500 }
},

"participants": [],
"when": { "end_time": 1600449999, "object": "timespan", "start_time": 1600448500 }

]Then pass the array into your component using any JavaScript.

Nylas Agenda allows for several properties that affect the layout and functionality of your component. You can find a complete list of properties within our Documentation for Nylas Agenda
Events and Callbacks
You can listen to certain user events from your application by adding an event listener to your component.
For example, you can listen for a dateChange event with the following code:
document
.querySelector("nylas-agenda")
.addEventListener("dateChange", (event) => {
let { detail } = event;
console.log("date changed", detail);
