Mui Event List

A Google calendar inspired event list using Material-UI for React.

Installation

This package depends on Material-UI components, so make sure you have it installed.

npm i @material-ui/core

To install this package,

npm i mui-event-list

Usage

Out-of-the-box

Import MuiEventList into any of your components.

import MuiEventList from "mui-event-list";

Construct the component.

<MuiEventList data={data} />

data object is an array of events you want to display, in the format:

data = event[];
interface event {
  dateTime: Date | string; // required
  description?: string; // optional
  location?: string; // optional
}

MuiEventList will sort your data according to dateTime property in ascending order, and display each event by groups of dates and months.

The component is designed to be styled according to the ThemeProvider you are using in the higher order components. If none has been provided, the default theme provided by Material-UI shall be used.

Advanced

Styling and Theming

To apply custom styling specific to MuiEventList, you may wrap ThemeProvider like so.

<ThemeProvider theme={customTheme}>
  <MuiEventList data={data} />
</ThemeProvider>

More information can be found on Material-UI's theming guide.

Custom Components

You can build your own components to be integrated into MuiEventList. For example, you can design and use a unique MonthBlock.

// using class components
class MonthBlock extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>this month is: {this.props.dateTime}</p>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
 
// or using functional components (recommended)
const MonthBlock = props => {
  const { dateTime } = props;
  return (
    <div>
      <p>this month is: {dateTime}</p>
