Steps to implement calendar in Ionic

Step 1: Create a new project using Ionic CLI.

Step 2: Create a new page

We will create a brand new page for calendar implementation using the following command

ionic g page calender

Step 3: Install dependency

Write the below command to install the dependency

npm install ion2-calendar moment --save

Step 4: Change in app.module.ts

The app.module.ts will look as follows

import { CalendarModule } from "ion2-calendar";


@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  entryComponents: [],
  imports: [BrowserModule, IonicModule.forRoot(), AppRoutingModule, HttpClientModule,CalendarModule],
  providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    PDFGenerator,
    BarcodeScanner,
    OCR,
    { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Step 5: Import the calendar module in calender.module.ts

The calender.module.ts will look as follows

import { CalendarModule } from "ion2-calendar";


@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    IonicModule,
    CalenderPageRoutingModule,
    CalendarModule
  ],
  declarations: [CalenderPage]
})

Step 6: Update the HTML file

Write the below code of HTML in your calender.page.html

<ion-header>
  <ion-toolbar>
    <ion-title>Calender Example</ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content>
  <ion-calendar [(ngModel)]="date" (onChange)="onChange($event)" [type]="type" [format]="'YYYY-MM-DD'">
  </ion-calendar>
</ion-content>

Step 7: TS

Now, In final step just copy the below ts code in your calender.page.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-calender',
  templateUrl: './calender.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['./calender.page.scss'],
})
export class CalenderPage implements OnInit {
  date: string;
  type: 'string';
  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }
  
  onChange($event) {
    console.log($event);
  }
}
