Working with calendars in Swift
Blog post from LogRocket
Implementing a calendar in a SwiftUI application can be complex, especially when handling dates. This tutorial explores creating a calendar UI using SwiftUI's DatePicker and the FSCalendar library, which offers enhanced customization for iOS apps. Initially, the guide demonstrates how to set up a simple DatePicker in SwiftUI to select dates, then transitions to using FSCalendar for a more sophisticated calendar interface. The process involves creating a SwiftUI project in Xcode, integrating TabView to separate CalendarView and DatePicker screens, and utilizing UIViewRepresentable to incorporate FSCalendar, which is originally a UIKit component. Customizations such as changing appearance, adding events, and manipulating date ranges are also covered, providing a comprehensive approach to building a feature-rich calendar UI in SwiftUI.
