TypeScript support

The package is written in TypeScript and provides full TypeScript support. The widget exports several types which are automatically found by TypeScript.

CSS

The widget comes with an optional stylesheet. You can see the default styling in the demo above.

In order to use the default style, you should have used the default settings:

/* If you used the default settings */
@import 'calendar-widget/dist/index.css';

If you are using SCSS and wish to use the widget with custom settings, you can import the SCSS mixin and tweak it a bit:

@import 'calendar-widget/index.scss';

#my-calendar-container {
	$calendar-width: 400px;
	$calendar-color: rebeccapurple;
	@include calendar($calendar-width, $calendar-color);
}

You can also include the stylesheet in a <link> in your markup:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="PATH_TO_CALENDAR_WIDGET_SOURCE/dist/index.css" />
