How can I show a popup with description for fullcalendar

I am using fullcalendar and my goal is to have a simple pop up on the event click but for some reason I cannot get it to pull in the description in the alert.
Am I missing some JS to include or something? I tried to use the examples from their site but it was not working. I am sure it is something stupid I am missing.
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/core/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/interaction/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/daygrid/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/timegrid/main.js'></script>
<script src='../assets/calendar/packages/list/main.js'></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var d = new Date();
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
plugins: [ 'interaction', 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid', 'list' ],
height: 'parent',
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay,listWeek'
},
defaultView: 'dayGridMonth',
defaultDate: d,
eventClick: function(info) {
alert('Event: ' + info.description);
},
navLinks: true, // can click day/week names to navigate views
editable: false,
eventLimit: true, // allow "more" link when too many events
events:
[
{
title: 'All Day Event<br>second line',
description: 'description for Long Event',
start: '2020-05-01'
},
{
title: 'Session',
start: '2020-05-12T10:30:00',
description: 'description for Long Event',
end: '2020-05-12T12:30:00'
},
{
title: 'Practical',
start: '2020-05-27T10:30:00',
description: 'description for Long Event',
end: '2020-05-27T12:30:00'
}
]
});
calendar.render();
});
</script>

You need to write
alert('Event: ' + info.event.extendedProps.description);
because
1) the info object isn't the event, the event is a sub-property of that info object - this is described at https://fullcalendar.io/docs/eventClick
and
2) description is a non-standard field as far as fullCalendar is concerned, and all non-standard fields are placed inside the extendedProps sub-property of the event object which fullCalendar generates based on the data you provide it - this is described at https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event-parsing

FullCalendar.js get date range as string from select event

I am using FullCalendar.js to enable a user to select a single date or range of dates from a visual calendar like this.
The documentation specifies that I should implement the select function to capture the start date startStr and end date endStr of the user's selection.
Below is the code I thought would do this:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
selectable: true,
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: ''
},
defaultDate: today,
navLinks: true,
eventLimit: true,
events: [],
select: function(selectionInfo) {
console.log(selectionInfo.startStr);
console.log(selectionInfo.endStr);
}
});
Output:
undefined
undefined
Clearly my approach is not correct. What am I doing wrong?

This does not answer why the OP code is not working.
However, for anyone else experiencing the same issue, here is a different implementation which serves as a working solution.
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
plugins: [ 'interaction', 'dayGrid', 'timeGrid' ],
selectable: true,
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'dayGridMonth,timeGridWeek,timeGridDay'
},
dateClick: function(info) {
console.log(info.dateStr);
},
select: function(info) {
console.log(info.startStr);
console.log(info.endStr);
}
});
calendar.render();

I had similar issue, I was checking wrong documentation version (I am using v3) which select function is implemented as follow:
select: function(startDate, endDate) {
alert('selected ' + startDate.format() + ' to ' + endDate.format());
}

Fullcalendar Events not displaying even if events end time exist

This is very confusing。。why event on 2017-09-02 before 9AM doesn't show while event after 9AM is effictive 。 is there any options can control this?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay,listWeek'
},
defaultDate: '2017-09-12',
events: [
{
title: 'test11111',
start: '2017-09-01T16:00:00',
end: '2017-09-02T09:00:00'
},
{
title: 'test22222',
start: '2017-09-01T16:00:00',
end: '2017-09-02T08:00:00'
},
],
timeFormat: 'HH(:mm)',
displayEventEnd: {
month: true,
default: true
}
});
how can i make 2017-09-02 display in view?

You need to specify the nextDayThreshold. By default, it is set to 9am, and that means that any event ending before that will not be rendered on that day.
In your case you have an event ending at 8am, so you need a nextDayThreshold of 8am or earlier if you want that even to show up on that day:
nextDayThreshold: '08:00:00'
Working JSFiddle.

Looping through js function parameter

I have below js.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
editable: false,
events: [
{
title: 'Absent',
start: new Date(y, m, 9),
color: '#008aaf '
}
]
});
The above js generates a calendar for me. The events parameter marks the event on the date specified in start field. Now i have to generate event dynamically based on my php date array which is as shown below:
Array
(
[0] => 28/07/2014
[1] => 30/07/2014
[2] => 01/08/2014
[3] => 29/07/2014
)
How can i generate events based on php date array?

What about something like this?
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
editable: false,
events: [
<?php
foreach($dateArray as $date)
{
$dateParts = explode("/",$date);
$dates[] = "{
title: 'Absent',
start: new Date(".$dateParts[2].", ".$dateParts[1].", ".$dateParts[0]."),
color: '#008aaf '
}";
}
echo implode(",",$dates);
?>
]
});

How to close previous popovers in fullCalendar?

I am using fullCalendar in my website together with Bootstrap so that everytime I click on a day in month view, there is a popover to add event, just like that in Google Calendar. Here is my code
$(document).ready(function() {
var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth();
var y = date.getFullYear();
var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
height: height,
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
dayClick: function( date, allDay, jsEvent, view ){
$(this).children().popover({
title: 'haha',
placement: 'right',
content: 'haha',html : true, container: 'body'
});
$(this).children().popover('show');
}
})
The code should be right before $(this).children().popover({ so that it closes all previously fired popover.
However, exactly, what code should I use to achieve this?
Thank you!

You can remove the popover or more specifically destroy the one created before by saving the reference (which would be a more specific and better approach).
var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
height: '300px',
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
dayClick: function (date, allDay, jsEvent, view) {
$(this).children().popover({
title: 'haha',
placement: 'right',
content: 'haha',
html: true,
container: 'body'
});
$('.popover.in').remove(); //<--- Remove the popover
$(this).children().popover('show');
}
});
Fiddle Method1
or
var $calPopOver; //create a variable to save refe
var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
height: '300px',
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
dayClick: function (date, allDay, jsEvent, view) {
$(this).children().popover({
title: 'haha',
placement: 'right',
content: 'haha',
html: true,
container: 'body'
});
if($calPopOver) //if there is something
$calPopOver.popover('destroy'); //then call popover destroy
$calPopOver = $(this).children().popover('show');
}
});
