javascript - How to block out dates in the Fullcalendar beyond a certain date

Question

I have a date in the future which is always 30 days ahead of the current date. It's stored in a Date object. I worked this out using:

var currentDate = new Date();
var futureBlockDate = new Date();
futureBlockDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + 30);

Using the FullCalendar jQuery plugin I want to visually block out any days past this date on the calendar with a different background colour so a user knows they can't click on them or create an event on those days.

What is the best way to do this with the FullCalendar? Maybe disable all dates by default, and only enable for a specific range (from today's date through to 30 days in the future)?

I think I can apply a disabled background state to all the cells using the following code:

$(".fc-widget-content").addClass("disabled");

.disabled .fc-day-content {
    background-color: #123959;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    cursor: default;
}

How can it be done?

Answer 1

Use the dayRender option to add a "disabled" class to out of range dates.

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    ...
    dayRender: function(date, cell){
        if (date > maxDate){
            $(cell).addClass('disabled');
        }
    }
    ...
});

You can also use the viewRender event and the gotoDate method, to prevent users to navigate farther than 30 days after today :

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    ...
    viewRender: function(view){
        if (view.start > maxDate){
            $('#calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', maxDate);
        }
    }
    ...
});
