Wijmo User Guide > Widgets > EventsCalendar > Quick Start

In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the EvCal widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.

    Drop down and copy markup

    Paste in your favorite text editor.
    Copy Code
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <HTML>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </HTML>
    
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code
    <!--Theme-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--Wijmo Widgets CSS-->
    <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20183.140.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    
    <!--RequireJs-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/external/require.js"></script>
  3. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.

    Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags

                
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <div id="eventscalendar"></div>
  4. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and set several events calendar widget options.
    • The time interval offers room for an event every 15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes.
    • The time slots are each 30 pixels high instead of 15 pixels.
    • The ruler formatting shows minutes, so that when we set the ruler interval to every 30 minutes, it shows more than just the hour.
    • The ruler interval shows every half hour instead of every hour.

    Script
    Copy Code
    <script type="text/javascript">
        requirejs.config({
            baseUrl: "http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20183.140",
                paths: {
                    "jquery": "jquery-1.11.1.min",
                    "jquery-ui": "jquery-ui-1.11.0.custom.min",
                    "jquery.ui": "jquery-ui",
                    "jquery.mousewheel": "jquery.mousewheel.min",
                    "globalize": "globalize.min"
                }
        });
    </script>
    
    <script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
        require(["wijmo.wijevcal"], function () {
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#eventscalendar").wijevcal({
                    timeInterval: 15,
                    timeIntervalHeight: 30,
                    timeRulerFormat: "{0:h:mm tt}",
                    timeRulerInterval: 30
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
  5. Within the <head> tags, above the script to initialize the widget, set the size of the widget using CSS.

    Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the head tags

                
    Style
    Copy Code
    <style type="text/css">
        #eventscalendar
            {
                width: 650px;
            }
    </style>
  6. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.
