Docs Event Dragging & Resizing
How to enable and control where the user can drag-n-drop and resize events. Start by setting the editable setting to true. If you want to allow external elements to be dropped onto your calendar, visit the droppable, drop, and eventReceive articles.
External Event Dragging
It's possible to take elements that live outside of a calendar and make them drag-and-droppable. When they are dropped on a specific date of a calendar, a new event might be created and certain callbacks might fire. It is possible to achieve this using FullCalendar alone, without any third party libraries.
Dragging Between Calendars
It's possible to initialize two or more separate Calendars, and then allow the user to drag events between the calendars!
Third-Party Dragging Libraries
It's possible to leverage a third-party library to do your external element drag-n-drop instead of using FullCalendar. You might want to do this if you prefer the visual effects of another library, need "sorting" functionality, or need the ability to drag-n-drop between multiple containers, functionality that FullCalendar does not have.
