Docs Event Model
Event Parsing
When you give your calendar event data, whether it's through an array, a json feed, or the addEvent method, you specify the event as a plain JavaScript object with properties. This object then gets "parsed" into a proper Event Object that is then exposed in other parts of the API, like the event render hooks method.
Event Object
A JavaScript object that FullCalendar uses to store information about a calendar event. It is exposed in various places of the API such as getEventById and provides methods for dynamic manipulation. It was originally parsed from a plain object.
Recurring Events
A recurring event is an event that happens more than once, on a repeating schedule. When a repeating event is turned into individual event instances with individual dates, it is called "expanding" the event.
RRule Plugin
The RRule plugin is a connector to the rrule js library. It is powerful for specifying recurring events, moreso than FullCalendar's built-in simple event recurrence.
Event Data Parsing
eventDataTransform
A hook for transforming custom data into a standard Event object.
defaultAllDay
Determines the default value for each Event Object's allDay property when it is unspecified.
defaultAllDayEventDuration
A fallback duration for all-day Event Objects without a specified end value.
defaultTimedEventDuration
A fallback duration for timed Event Objects without a specified end value.
forceEventDuration
A flag to force assignment of an event's end if it is unspecified.
