React Calendar FAQ
Common questions about React calendar components and timeline-based booking interfaces.
What is the best React calendar for booking systems?
For booking systems with resource rows (rooms, staff, equipment), a horizontal timeline calendar outperforms month-grid calendars. Planby renders bookings as proportional time blocks across resource rows — conflicts and gaps are immediately visible. Install: npm install @nessprim/planby
What is the difference between React Big Calendar and Planby?
React Big Calendar is a month/week/day grid calendar with no resource rows and no virtualization. Planby is a horizontal resource timeline — resources are rows, events span the time axis. Planby handles 10,000+ events with virtualization; React Big Calendar slows down past a few hundred.
When should I use a timeline calendar vs a month grid?
Use a timeline calendar (Planby) when resources are the primary dimension and event duration matters visually. Use a month-grid calendar (React Big Calendar, react-calendar) when users navigate primarily by date and events are sparse.
Does Planby support drag and drop calendar events?
Yes. Planby PRO includes drag & drop: events move horizontally (time change) and vertically (resource reassignment). Events can also be resized to change duration. Callbacks return updated position data for API sync.
What is the difference between react-calendar (npm) and Planby?
react-calendar is a lightweight date picker showing a month view. It has no events with duration, no resource rows, and no timeline. Planby is a full resource timeline scheduler — different use cases entirely.
Does Planby work with React Native for a mobile calendar?
Yes. Planby React Native is a native build (no WebView) for iOS and Android. It uses the same useEpg hook and channels/programs data model as the web version. Currently in free BETA.
