How can i select dates programmatically and show on FSCalendar

Question

I used FSCalendar(https://github.com/WenchaoD/FSCalendar) in my project. If user click repeat button, the events repeats everyday. I want to show it on calendar which is in my application. How can I do it?

Solution

If you want to select date then below method will be helpful, where calendar is outlet of FSCalendar.

calendar.select(calendar.today)

And if you want to select multiple dates then the best way would be to use event dots, and that can be possible through below delegate method of FSCalendar Data source,

func calendar(_ calendar: FSCalendar, numberOfEventsFor date: Date) -> Int { //number of dots you want to show }

or if you really want to show dates selected, you can use below method smartly and returning different colours for dates that you want to select,

    public func calendar(_ calendar: FSCalendar, appearance: FSCalendarAppearance, fillDefaultColorFor date: Date) -> UIColor?
{
    if your date
    {
         //return the colour for your dates
    }
    else
    {
         //return default colour
    }
}

Hope, this answer helps you.

your problem is how to display it in calendar...?

[Surjeet Rajput]

FSCalendar have a method calendar(calendar: FSCalendar, didSelectDate date: NSDate) on selection you can display it or you can simply do it using tableView.Display your reminder in tableview.
