events (as a function)
A custom function for programmatically generating Event Objects.
function( start, end, callback ) { }
FullCalendar will call this function whenever it needs new event data.
This is triggered when the user clicks prev/next or switches views.
This function will be given start and end parameters, which are
Date objects denoting the range the calendar needs events for.
It will also be given callback, a function that must be called when
the custom event function has generated its events. It is the event function's
responsibility to make sure callback is being called with an array of
Event Objects.
Here is an example showing how to use an event function to fetch events from
an XML feed:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: function(start, end, callback) {
$.ajax({
url: 'myxmlfeed.php',
dataType: 'xml',
data: {
// our hypothetical feed requires UNIX timestamps
start: Math.round(start.getTime() / 1000),
end: Math.round(end.getTime() / 1000)
},
success: function(doc) {
var events = [];
$(doc).find('event').each(function() {
event.push({
title: $(this).attr('title'),
start: $(this).attr('start') // will be parsed
});
});
callback(events);
}
});
}
});
However, if you have the choice, JSON is a better idea because you can just specify a
feed URL.
