Calendar

Using @capgo/capacitor-calendar

The @capgo/capacitor-calendar package lets a Capacitor app manage native calendar events on iOS and Android. It can request calendar permissions, create and edit events, open native calendar UI, list calendars and events, and manage Reminders on iOS.

Install

npm install @capgo/capacitor-calendar
npx cap sync

Configure Native Permissions

On iOS, add the usage descriptions your app needs to ios/App/App/Info.plist:

<key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs calendar access.</string>
<key>NSCalendarsWriteOnlyAccessUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs permission to add calendar events.</string>
<key>NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs permission to read and manage calendar events.</string>
<key>NSRemindersFullAccessUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs permission to read and manage reminders.</string>

On Android, add the calendar permissions your app needs to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR" />

Request Permission

import { CapacitorCalendar } from '@capgo/capacitor-calendar';

const permission = await CapacitorCalendar.requestFullCalendarAccess();

if (permission.result !== 'granted') {
  throw new Error('Calendar permission was not granted');
}

Create An Event

const startDate = Date.now() + 60 * 60 * 1000;
const endDate = startDate + 60 * 60 * 1000;

const { id } = await CapacitorCalendar.createEvent({
  title: 'Product review',
  location: 'Capgo',
  startDate,
  endDate,
  description: 'Created with @capgo/capacitor-calendar',
});

console.log('Created event', id);

Open The Native Event UI

await CapacitorCalendar.createEventWithPrompt({
  title: 'Planning session',
  location: 'Office',
  startDate: Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
  endDate: Date.now() + 25 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
});

List Events

const now = Date.now();

const { result: events } = await CapacitorCalendar.listEventsInRange({
  from: now,
  to: now + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
});

iOS Reminders

const permission = await CapacitorCalendar.requestFullRemindersAccess();

if (permission.result === 'granted') {
  await CapacitorCalendar.createReminder({
    title: 'Send launch notes',
    dueDate: Date.now() + 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
  });
}

Reminders are only available on iOS.
