React Scheduler using Google Calendar API
Mark Woodson published a tutorial demonstrating how to build a React-based calendar scheduler integrated with Google Calendar API using Firebase functions. The guide walks through frontend setup with DevExtreme React Scheduler, dummy data implementation, and backend configuration for reading and writing calendar events. It includes steps for setting up OAuth credentials, retrieving calendar IDs, and deploying Firebase functions to handle API interactions. The project allows users to view, add, edit, and delete events synced with their Google Calendar.
- ▪The tutorial uses React, Firebase, and the DevExtreme React Scheduler to create a functional calendar interface.
- ▪Dummy data is initially used to display events, with integration later made to pull real events from Google Calendar via API.
- ▪Setup involves creating a Google Cloud project, configuring OAuth 2.0 credentials, and obtaining a refresh token and calendar ID.
- ▪Firebase functions are implemented to securely read and write calendar events using Google Calendar API v3.
- ▪The final application supports dynamic event management with persistence through Google Calendar synchronization.
