Introducing hyycalendar: A Swift Path to Elegant Calendar Views in iOS Apps

In the realm of digital interface, calendars serve as a quintessential component in numerous applications, aiding users in scheduling, tracking, and organizing their time. For iOS developers, crafting a user-friendly and visually appealing calendar view can be a streamlined process with the right tools. Among such tools is the open-source iOS library named hyycalendar, generously shared by kRadius on GitHub. Implemented using UIKit, hyycalendar simplifies the creation of calendar views within iOS applications, making it a worthy addition to a developer's toolkit.

The core offerings of hyycalendar are:

  1. Variety in Calendar Styles: Choose from a selection of calendar styles to find the one that fits seamlessly with your app design.
  2. Customizable Calendar Attributes: Tailor the calendar attributes to your needs, ensuring a harmonious blend with your app’s theme.

Initiating with hyycalendar is a straightforward endeavor. Import the hyycalendar module into your iOS project, and you are geared up to imbue your app with intuitive calendar views:

import UIKit
import hyycalendar

class ViewController: UIViewController {
  @IBOutlet weak var calendarView: HYYCalendarView!

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Setting calendar style
    calendarView.style = .week

    // Setting calendar attributes
    calendarView.range = DateRange(start: Date(), end: Date().addingTimeInterval(86400))

    // Setting calendar events
    calendarView.events = [
      // Event 1
      HYYCalendarEvent(
        date: Date(),
        title: "Birthday",
        color: .red,
      ),
      // Event 2
      HYYCalendarEvent(
        date: Date().addingTimeInterval(24 * 60 * 60),
        title: "Date",
        color: .green,
      ),
    ]
  }
}

hyycalendar further spices up the functionality with:
