dateClick - Fullcalendar

Triggered when the user clicks on a date or a time.

<div class='spec' markdown='1'> function( dateClickInfo ) { } </div>

In order for this callback to fire, you must load the interaction plugin. If you are using an ES6 build system:

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/core';
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction';
...
let calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [ interactionPlugin ],
  ...
  dateClick: function(info) {
    alert('Clicked on: ' + info.dateStr);
    alert('Coordinates: ' + info.jsEvent.pageX + ',' + info.jsEvent.pageY);
    alert('Current view: ' + info.view.type);
    // change the day's background color just for fun
    info.dayEl.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
  }
});
...

Alternatively, you can use script tags and browser globals:

html

<script src='fullcalendar/core/main.js'></script>
<script src='fullcalendar/interaction/main.js'></script>
<script>
...
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [ 'interaction' ],
  ...
});
...
</script>

dateClickInfo is a plain object with the following properties:

<table> <tr> <th>date</th> <td markdown='1'> a [Date](date-object) for the clicked day/time. </td> </tr> <tr> <th>dateStr</th> <td markdown='1'> An ISO8601 string representation of the date. Will have a time zone offset according to the calendar's [timeZone](timeZone) like `2018-09-01T12:30:00-05:00`. If clicked on an all-day cell, won't have a time part nor a time zone part, like `2018-09-01`. </td> </tr> <tr> <th>allDay</th> <td markdown='1'> `true` or `false` whether the click happened on an all-day cell. </td> </tr> <tr> <th>dayEl</th> <td markdown='1'> An HTML element that represents the whole-day that was clicked on. </td> </tr> <tr> <th>jsEvent</th> <td markdown='1'> The native JavaScript event with low-level information such as click coordinates. </td> </tr> <tr> <th>view</th> <td markdown='1'> The current [View Object](view-object). </td> </tr> <tr> <th>resource</th> <td markdown='1'> If the current view is a resource-view, the [Resource Object](resource-object) that owns this date. Must be using one of the [resource plugins](/pricing). </td> </tr> </table>

List View

The dateClick trigger is not fired when the user clicks a day heading in list view.

Resource Views

For resource views, this callback will receive an additional Resource Object parameter. Example:

var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {

  dateClick: function(info) {
    alert('Date: ' + info.dateStr);
    alert('Resource ID: ' + info.resource.id);
  }

});

This is only available with the Scheduler plugin.

See a demo of dateClick with resources.
