How to implement a custom calendar in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up Adalo Account and Create a New App

  • First things first, either sign up or log in to your Adalo account.
  • Hit that "Create New App" button.
  • Pick a template or, if you're feeling adventurous, start from scratch.

Step 2: Add a New Collection for Calendar Events

  • Head over to the "Database" section on the left panel.
  • Click "Add Collection" and name it "Events" (or whatever suits your fancy).
  • Add properties to the Events collection:
  • Name (Text)
  • Date (Date)
  • Description (Text)
  • Any other fields you think are necessary

Step 3: Design the Calendar UI

  • Go back to the main editor.
  • Drag and drop components to design your interface:
  • Use "Text" components for headers like "My Custom Calendar".
  • Use "List" components to show event details.

Step 4: Add Date Picker for Event Creation

  • Drag and drop a "Form" component.
  • Link it to the "Events" collection.
  • Add fields to the form that match the properties from the collection (e.g., Name, Date, Description).
  • Don't forget to include a Date Picker component for the Date field.

Step 5: Display Events in a List

  • Drag and drop a "List" component to show events.
  • Configure the list to display items from the "Events" collection.
  • Choose the properties to be shown, like Name and Date.
  • Style the list however you like.

Step 6: Implement Conditional Filtering

  • Use the "Filter" option on the list component:
  • Set up a filter to show events only on selected dates or between date ranges.
  • You can use custom filters to show events based on other criteria.

Step 7: Add Navigation for Date Selection

  • If you want a multi-day or month view:
  • Add "Icons" or "Buttons" to navigate between days/weeks/months.
  • Set actions to these buttons to change date ranges.

Step 8: Test the Calendar

  • Preview the app by clicking on the preview button.
  • Test adding, viewing, and filtering events.
  • Make sure all UI elements work as expected and make any necessary adjustments.

Step 9: Publish the App

  • Once you're happy with everything, click on the "Publish" button.
  • Follow the steps to make your custom calendar available to users.

Feel free to add extra features like event notifications, repetitions, or custom styling using Adalo's component library.
