Step 1: Install Laravel

Install the laravel using the below command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel7_fullcalendar

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel7_fullcalendar

Step 2: Setting Database Configuration

After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel7_fullcalendar)

DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel7_fullcalendar)

DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root)

Create The table using the below command.

php artisan make:migration create_bookings_table --create=bookings

1	php artisan make:migration create_bookings_table --create=bookings

After complete migration. we need below changes in the database/migrations/create_bookings_table file.

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->date('start');
            $table->date('end');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('bookings');
    }
}
?>

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->date('start');

$table->date('end');

$table->timestamps();

php artisan migrate

composer require maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar

1	composer require maddhatter/laravel-fullcalendar

Step 5: Add providers and aliases

We will add below providers and aliases in the “config/app.php” file.

'providers' => [
	....
	MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\ServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
	....
	'Calendar' => MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\Facades\Calendar::class,
]

'providers' => [

....

MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\ServiceProvider::class,

'aliases' => [

....

'Calendar' => MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\Facades\Calendar::class,

]

Step 6: Create Route

Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});



Route::get('/booking','FullCalendarController@index');
?>

<?php

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('/', function () {

return view('welcome');

});

Route::get('/booking','FullCalendarController@index');

Step 7: Create a Model and Controller

Here below command help to create the controller and model.

php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController
php artisan make:model Booking

1 2	php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController php artisan make:model Booking

Booking.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];
}
?>

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model

{

protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];

}

FullCalendarController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Booking;
use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalendarController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {

       $events = [];
       $data = Booking::all();
       if($data->count()){
          foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            $events[] = Calendar::event(
                $value->title,
                true,
                new \DateTime($value->start),
                new \DateTime($value->end.' +1 day')
            );
          }
       }
      $calendar = Calendar::addEvents($events); 
      return view('fullcalendar', compact('calendar'));
    }
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Booking;

use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalendarController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

$events = [];

$data = Booking::all();

if($data->count()){

foreach ($data as $key => $value) {

$events[] = Calendar::event(

$value->title,

true,

new \DateTime($value->start),

new \DateTime($value->end.' +1 day')

);

}

$calendar = Calendar::addEvents($events);

return view('fullcalendar', compact('calendar'));

}

Step 8: Create Blade Files

Finally, We will create a fullcalendar.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” folder directory and paste the below code.

fullcalendar.blade.php

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.9.0/moment.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fullcalendar/2.2.7/fullcalendar.min.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
    <div class="panel panel-primary">
        <div class="panel-heading">
            MY Calender    
        </div>
        <div class="panel-body" >
            {!! $calendar->calendar() !!}
            {!! $calendar->script() !!}
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

<!doctype html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

MY Calender

</div>

{!! $calendar->calendar() !!}

{!! $calendar->script() !!}

</div>

</body>

</html>

Step 9: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/booking

1	http://127.0.0.1:8000/booking
