Adding an Icon using Active Areas

This example adds an icon to the calendar event box using active areas. Active area is a built-in mechanism for adding custom elements at specified locations with Calendar (events, grid cells, time headers, etc.). You can define visibility (always visible or visible on hover), CSS class, trigger special actions (add drag handles, open bubbles with details on hover) or define you own click event handler. Event active areas are supported during image export as well.

onBeforeEventRender: args => {

  // ...

  args.data.areas = [
    {right: 6, top: 6, width: 17, height: 17, image: "info-17-inverted-rounded-semi.svg", onClick: args=> this.showDetails(args.source)},
    ];
},

Adding an Icon using JSX

You can define custom event content using JSX in onBeforeEventDomAdd event handler:

onBeforeEventDomAdd: args => {
  args.element = <div>
    {args.e.data.text}
    <div style={{position: "absolute", right: "25px", top: "5px", height: "17px", width: "17px"}}
         onClick={()=>this.showDetails(args.e)}>
      <img src={"info-17-semi.svg"} alt={"Info icon"}/>
    </div>
  </div>;
}
