Calendar

Overview

This article presents a Google Calendar clone developed in one week. The focus was on functionality rather than design. The clone uses the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js) for both client-side and server-side development. The app includes features such as login, signup, a calendar view with week navigation, event creation/editing/deletion, support for multiple-day events, non-overlapping events, client-side rendering, and a RESTful API.

Features

• MERN Stack: The app is built using the MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js stack.
• Login and Signup: Users can sign in to their account or create a new account.
• Calendar View: The app displays a week-view calendar similar to Google Calendar, with the ability to navigate to the previous and next week.
• Event Management: Users can view, create, edit, and delete events. Events are displayed on the calendar and can be clicked to view more details.
• Multiple-Day Events: The app supports events that span multiple days.
• Non-Overlapping Events: Users cannot create events that conflict with existing events.
• Client-Side Rendering: The app is developed as a single-page app using React.js for client-side rendering.
• REST API: The server-side is developed using Node.js, providing a RESTful API for data retrieval and authentication.

Summary

The Google Calendar clone developed in this project offers a functional calendar application built using the MERN stack. While the focus was on functionality rather than design, the app includes key features such as login, signup, a week-view calendar, event management, support for multiple-day events, non-overlapping events, client-side rendering, and a RESTful API. By following the installation guide, users can set up their own instance of the clone and start using it for event management.
