Expo Calendar
GitHub
npm

expo-calendar provides an API for interacting with the device's system calendars, events, reminders, and associated records.

Platform Compatibility

Android Device	Android Emulator	iOS Device	iOS Simulator	Web

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install expo-calendar

If you're installing this in a bare React Native app, you should also follow these additional installation instructions.

Configuration in app.json/app.config.js

You can configure expo-calendar using its built-in config plugin if you use config plugins in your project (EAS Build or npx expo run:[android|ios]). The plugin allows you to configure various properties that cannot be set at runtime and require building a new app binary to take effect.

Example app.json with config plugin

app.json

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-calendar",
        {
          "calendarPermission": "The app needs to access your calendar."
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

Configurable properties

Name	Default	Description
`calendarPermission`	`"Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your calendar"`	Only for: iOS A string to set the `NSCalendarsUsageDescription` permission message.
`remindersPermission`	`"Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your reminders"`	Only for: iOS A string to set the `NSRemindersUsageDescription` permission message.

Usage

Basic Calendar usage

        console.log('Here are all your calendars:');
        console.log({ calendars });
      }
    })();
  }, []);

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Calendar Module Example</Text>
      <Button title="Create a new calendar" onPress={createCalendar} />
    </View>
  );
}

async function getDefaultCalendarSource() {
  const defaultCalendar = await Calendar.getDefaultCalendarAsync();
  return defaultCalendar.source;
}

async function createCalendar() {
  const defaultCalendarSource =
    Platform.OS === 'ios'
      ? await getDefaultCalendarSource()
      : { isLocalAccount: true, name: 'Expo Calendar' };
  const newCalendarID = await Calendar.createCalendarAsync({

Not all of the combinations make sense. For example, when frequency is DAILY, setting daysOfTheMonth makes no sense.

endDate (optional)	`string \| Date`	Date on which the calendar item should stop recurring; overrides `occurrence` if both are specified.
frequency	`string`	How often the calendar item should recur. Possible values: `Frequency`.
interval (optional)	`number`	Interval at which the calendar item should recur. For example, an `interval: 2` with `frequency: DAILY` would yield an event that recurs every other day. Default: `1`
monthsOfTheYear (optional)	`MonthOfTheYear[]`	Only for: iOS The months this event occurs on. This field is only valid for `Calendar.Frequency.Yearly`.
occurrence (optional)	`number`	Number of times the calendar item should recur before stopping.
setPositions (optional)	`number[]`	Only for: iOS TAn array of numbers that filters which recurrences to include. For example, for an event that recurs every Monday, passing 2 here will make it recur every other Monday. `-366` to `366` (not including `0`). Negative indicates a value from the end of the range. This field is only valid for `Calendar.Frequency.Yearly`.
weeksOfTheYear (optional)	`number[]`	Only for: iOS The weeks of the year this event occurs on. `-53` to `53` (not including `0`). Negative indicates a value from the end of the range. This field is only valid for `Calendar.Frequency.Yearly`.

dueDate (optional)	`string \| Date`	Date object or string representing the time when the reminder task is due.
id (optional)	`string`	Internal ID that represents this reminder on the device.
