react-big-calendar is a React events calendar component styled like Google Calendar or Outlook, built with flexbox for modern browsers. It requires a pluggable date localizer (Moment.js, date-fns, Day.js, or Globalize.js) for formatting and localization.

Use cases

• add a google calendar-like event calendar to a react app
• display weekly and monthly event schedules in react
• build a booking calendar with drag and drop events
• render an outlook-style calendar view in a web app
• show localized event calendars with custom date formatting

When to choose

• you need a full-featured, customizable calendar component in a React project
• you want Google Calendar/Outlook-like month, week, and day views out of the box
• you need flexible localization via your preferred date library

When to avoid

• your project does not use React
• you need a full scheduling backend with reminders and sync to external calendar services
• you need IE11 support
