## What it is
A Ruby gem for Ruby on Rails that renders calendars of any size (day, week, month, or custom ranges) with simple view helpers. It is ORM-agnostic and supports rendering events from any model or Ruby object.

## Use cases
- render a month calendar in a Rails app
- show a week view of meetings or events
- build a custom multi-day agenda view
- display events from ActiveRecord models on a calendar
- add a calendar with i18n month and weekday names
- customize calendar partials and URL start date params

## When to choose
- you need calendar rendering in a Rails or Ruby web app
- you want a lightweight, ORM-agnostic calendar view helper
- you need flexible calendar lengths (day, week, month, custom ranges)

## When to avoid
- you need a full JavaScript calendar with drag-and-drop scheduling
- you are not using Rails or ERB-style templating
- you need rich interactive features like resizing or recurring event editing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: templating, date-time, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
- tags: rails, calendar-view, month-calendar, week-calendar, events, view-helper, web-server
