Build Ionic 8 and Angular 20 Calendar UI with Event Integration

by Didin J. on Oct 22, 2025 Build Ionic 8 and Angular 20 Calendar UI with Event Integration

Learn how to build a modern calendar app with Ionic 8 and Angular 20. Create, edit, and manage events using Ionic UI, modals, and local storage.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a modern calendar UI in Ionic 8 and Angular 20 with interactive event integration. You’ll create a mobile-ready app where users can view, add, and manage events using the latest Ionic UI components and Angular features.

This updated version brings:

  • Ionic 8 (based on Angular 20)

  • Capacitor 6 for native functionality

  • Ion Datetime and Ion Modal for event management

  • A clean, responsive layout using Ionic’s new design tokens and theming

  • TypeScript 5+ syntax and standalone components

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully functional calendar app that works seamlessly on web and mobile, using up-to-date best practices.

What You’ll Build

A mobile calendar app where:

  • The calendar displays daily, weekly, and monthly views

  • Users can tap a date to view or add events

  • Event details are displayed in modals

  • All data is stored locally (you can later extend it to APIs or Firebase)

Why Ionic 8 + Angular 20?

Ionic 8 builds on Angular 20’s standalone architecture and enhanced performance. It removes outdated dependencies, simplifies routing, and provides a cleaner developer experience. Combined with Angular’s new signals and improved change detection, you can build faster and more reactive apps than ever before.

Preview

You’ll create something like this:

📅 Home Page Calendar UI

  • Modern responsive calendar

  • Event markers

  • Tap to view event details

📝 Event Modal

  • Add or edit events easily

  • Fully integrated with Ionic’s form controls and reactive forms


Prerequisites and Project Setup

Before diving into the code, make sure you have the latest tools and environment ready. Ionic 8 uses the latest Angular 20 and Capacitor 6, so we’ll start by setting up everything cleanly from scratch.

Prerequisites

You should have a basic understanding of:

  • Ionic Framework and Angular fundamentals

  • TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES2022+)

  • Node.js and the terminal

System Requirements

Make sure your system has the following installed:

  • Node.js 20+
    Check your version:

     
    node -v

     

    If not installed, download it from nodejs.org.

  • Ionic CLI 7+

     
    npm install -g @ionic/cli

     

  • Capacitor 6+
    This is included automatically with Ionic 8, but we’ll initialize it later.

1. Create a New Ionic 8 + Angular 20 Project

Run the following command to create a fresh Ionic Angular project:

ionic start ionic8-calendar blank --type=angular

Choose “No” when asked to integrate with Capacitor for now — we’ll add it later manually.

Then move into the new project directory:

cd ionic8-calendar

2. Install Required Dependencies

For our calendar UI, we’ll use ionic2-calendar, which now supports modern Angular versions.

Install it with:

npm install ionic2-calendar

Also, install Angular Forms (if not already included) and dayjs for date formatting:

npm install dayjs

3. Run the App

You can test your setup by running:

ionic serve

This will open your default browser at http://localhost:8100/ showing the blank Ionic 8 starter.

Build Ionic 8 and Angular 20 Calendar UI with Event Integration - ionic serve

If everything loads without errors, your project setup is complete.

4. Project Structure Overview

Your project folder should now look like this:

ionic8-calendar/
│
├── src/
│   ├── app/
│   │   ├── app.component.ts
│   │   ├── app.routes.ts
│   │   └── app.config.ts
│   ├── assets/
│   ├── pages/
│   ├── theme/
│   ├── index.html
│   └── main.ts
│
├── capacitor.config.ts
├── package.json
└── angular.json

We’ll create a Calendar Page next and set up event data handling with modals.


Creating the Calendar Page (UI and Logic)

Now that your Ionic 8 and Angular 20 app is ready, let’s create the Calendar Page. This page will display a fully interactive calendar UI using the ionic2-calendar library.

1. Generate the Calendar Page

Run the following Ionic CLI command to generate a standalone page:

ionic generate page pages/calendar --standalone

This will create a new folder under src/app/pages/calendar with the necessary files:

src/app/pages/calendar/
│
├── calendar.page.html
├── calendar.page.ts
├── calendar.page.scss
└── calendar.page.spec.ts

2. Import CalendarModule

Open src/main.ts (or app.module.ts if you’re using a module-based setup) and import the NgCalendarModule from ionic2-calendar:

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouteReuseStrategy, provideRouter, withPreloading, PreloadAllModules } from '@angular/router';
import { IonicRouteStrategy, provideIonicAngular } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';

import { routes } from './app/app.routes';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
import { importProvidersFrom } from '@angular/core';
import { NgCalendarModule } from 'ionic2-calendar';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy },
    provideIonicAngular(),
    provideRouter(routes, withPreloading(PreloadAllModules)),
    importProvidersFrom(NgCalendarModule)
  ],
});

3. Add Calendar HTML Layout

Open calendar.page.html and replace everything with the following:

<ion-header [translucent]="true">
  <ion-toolbar>
    <ion-title>Calendar</ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content class="ion-padding">
  <ion-segment [(ngModel)]="calendar.mode" mode="ios">
    <ion-segment-button value="month">Month</ion-segment-button>
    <ion-segment-button value="week">Week</ion-segment-button>
    <ion-segment-button value="day">Day</ion-segment-button>
  </ion-segment>

  <ion-item lines="none" class="calendar-controls">
    <ion-button fill="clear" (click)="back()">‹</ion-button>
    <ion-label class="ion-text-center">
      {{ calendar.currentDate | date: calendar.mode === 'month' ? 'MMMM yyyy' :
      'fullDate' }}
    </ion-label>
    <ion-button fill="clear" (click)="next()">›</ion-button>
  </ion-item>

  <div class="calendar-container">
    <calendar
      [eventSource]="eventSource"
      [calendarMode]="calendar.mode"
      [currentDate]="calendar.currentDate"
      (onEventSelected)="onEventSelected($event)"
      (onTimeSelected)="onTimeSelected($event)"
    >
    </calendar>
  </div>

  <ion-fab vertical="bottom" horizontal="end" slot="fixed">
    <ion-fab-button (click)="addEvent()">
      <ion-icon name="add"></ion-icon>
    </ion-fab-button>
  </ion-fab>
</ion-content>

4. Add Calendar Logic

Now open calendar.page.ts and add the following logic:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { ModalController } from '@ionic/angular';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import { EventModalPage } from '../event-modal/event-modal.page';
import { NgCalendarModule } from 'ionic2-calendar';
import { CalendarMode } from 'ionic2-calendar';
import { IonContent, IonHeader, IonTitle, IonToolbar, IonSegmentButton, IonItem, IonButton, IonLabel, IonFab, IonFabButton, IonIcon } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';
import { add } from 'ionicons/icons';
import { addIcons } from 'ionicons';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-calendar',
  templateUrl: './calendar.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['./calendar.page.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgCalendarModule, IonIcon, IonFabButton, IonFab, IonLabel, IonButton, IonItem, IonSegmentButton, IonContent, IonHeader, IonTitle, IonToolbar, CommonModule, FormsModule]
})
export class CalendarPage {
  eventSource: any[] = [];
  calendar = {
    mode: 'month' as CalendarMode,
    currentDate: new Date()
  };
  selectedDate: Date = new Date();

  constructor(private modalCtrl: ModalController) {
    addIcons({ add });
  }

  next() {
    const nextDate = dayjs(this.calendar.currentDate).add(1, this.calendar.mode as any);
    this.calendar.currentDate = nextDate.toDate();
  }

  back() {
    const prevDate = dayjs(this.calendar.currentDate).subtract(1, this.calendar.mode as any);
    this.calendar.currentDate = prevDate.toDate();
  }

  async addEvent() {
    const modal = await this.modalCtrl.create({
      component: EventModalPage,
      componentProps: { selectedDate: this.selectedDate }
    });
    await modal.present();

    const { data } = await modal.onWillDismiss();
    if (data && data.event) {
      this.eventSource.push(data.event);
      this.eventSource = [...this.eventSource]; // refresh calendar
    }
  }

  onEventSelected(event: any) {
    alert(`Event: ${event.title}\nFrom: ${event.startTime}\nTo: ${event.endTime}`);
  }

  onTimeSelected(event: any) {
    this.selectedDate = event.selectedTime;
  }
}

5. Add Basic Styling

Open calendar.page.scss and add a few improvements:

.calendar-controls {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

ion-segment {
  margin-bottom: 50px;
}

.calendar-container {
  height: calc(100% - 10px);
  /* adjust for header height */
  overflow: auto;
  position: relative;
}

ion-fab {
  z-index: 10;
  bottom: 50px;
  /* ensures it floats above calendar */
}

At this point, your app should display a working monthly calendar view with navigation arrows and a floating “Add” button. When pressed, it will open a modal (which we’ll build next) to add new events.


Creating the Event Modal (Add/Edit Events)

The Event Modal will appear when the user taps the floating “Add” button or selects a date from the calendar. It will use Ionic’s modern modal system, Reactive Forms, and the IonDatetime component for date selection.

1. Generate the Event Modal Page

Run this command to generate a new standalone page:

ionic generate page pages/event-modal --standalone

This creates the following structure:

src/app/pages/event-modal/
│
├── event-modal.page.html
├── event-modal.page.ts
├── event-modal.page.scss
└── event-modal.page.spec.ts

2. Build the Event Modal UI

Open src/app/pages/event-modal/event-modal.page.html and replace everything with:

<ion-header>
  <ion-toolbar color="primary">
    <ion-title>Add Event</ion-title>
    <ion-buttons slot="end">
      <ion-button (click)="dismiss()">Close</ion-button>
    </ion-buttons>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content class="ion-padding">
  <form [formGroup]="eventForm" (ngSubmit)="saveEvent()">
    <ion-item>
      <ion-label position="stacked">Event Title</ion-label>
      <ion-input
        formControlName="title"
        placeholder="Enter event title"
      ></ion-input>
    </ion-item>

    <ion-item>
      <ion-label position="stacked">Start Time</ion-label>
      <ion-datetime
        presentation="date-time"
        formControlName="startTime"
        [min]="minDate"
      >
      </ion-datetime>
    </ion-item>

    <ion-item>
      <ion-label position="stacked">End Time</ion-label>
      <ion-datetime
        presentation="date-time"
        formControlName="endTime"
        [min]="minDate"
      >
      </ion-datetime>
    </ion-item>

    <ion-item>
      <ion-label position="stacked">Description</ion-label>
      <ion-textarea
        rows="3"
        placeholder="Optional event description"
        formControlName="desc"
      >
      </ion-textarea>
    </ion-item>

    <ion-button
      expand="block"
      color="primary"
      class="ion-margin-top"
      type="submit"
      [disabled]="eventForm.invalid"
    >
      Save Event
    </ion-button>
  </form>
</ion-content>

3. Add Modal Logic

Now open src/app/pages/event-modal/event-modal.page.ts and add the following logic:

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, ReactiveFormsModule, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { ModalController } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';
import dayjs from 'dayjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-event-modal',
  templateUrl: './event-modal.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['./event-modal.page.scss'],
  imports: [CommonModule, IonicModule, ReactiveFormsModule]
})
export class EventModalPage {
  @Input() selectedDate!: Date;

  eventForm!: FormGroup;
  minDate = new Date().toISOString();

  constructor(
    private modalCtrl: ModalController,
    private fb: FormBuilder
  ) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.eventForm = this.fb.group({
      title: ['', Validators.required],
      startTime: [this.selectedDate.toISOString(), Validators.required],
      endTime: [
        dayjs(this.selectedDate).add(1, 'hour').toDate().toISOString(),
        Validators.required,
      ],
      desc: ['']
    });
  }

  dismiss() {
    this.modalCtrl.dismiss();
  }

  saveEvent() {
    if (this.eventForm.valid) {
      const event = this.eventForm.value;
      event.startTime = new Date(event.startTime);
      event.endTime = new Date(event.endTime);
      this.modalCtrl.dismiss({ event });
    }
  }
}

4. Add Modal Styling

In event-modal.page.scss, add some spacing and alignment for readability:

ion-item {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

ion-textarea {
  resize: none;
}

5. Connect Modal to Calendar Page

If you recall, the calendar’s addEvent() method in calendar.page.ts already opens this modal:

const modal = await this.modalCtrl.create({
  component: EventModalPage,
  componentProps: { selectedDate: this.selectedDate }
});

So once the modal is created and closed with valid data, the new event will be automatically added to the calendar’s eventSource.

6. Update Your Routes (app.routes.ts)

In Ionic 8, routes are now defined in src/app/app.routes.ts
Make sure you replace the default route with your calendar page:

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'home',
    loadComponent: () => import('./home/home.page').then((m) => m.HomePage),
  },
  {
    path: '',
    redirectTo: 'calendar',
    pathMatch: 'full',
  },
  {
    path: 'calendar',
    loadComponent: () => import('./pages/calendar/calendar.page').then(m => m.CalendarPage)
  },
  {
    path: 'event-modal',
    loadComponent: () => import('./pages/event-modal/event-modal.page').then(m => m.EventModalPage)
  },
];

7. Test It Out

Now run your app again:

ionic serve

Build Ionic 8 and Angular 20 Calendar UI with Event Integration - basic calendar event

✅ You should see:

  • A month calendar view

  • A floating “+” button

  • When pressed, an Add Event Modal opens

  • You can set the title, start, and end times

  • Upon saving, the event appears on the selected date in your calendar

 


Viewing and Managing Events

In this section, we’ll add features that allow users to view, select, and manage existing events — including editing or deleting them directly from the calendar page.

We'll enhance the calendar’s event click handler, add an event details modal, and integrate basic CRUD actions using local state (you can later replace this with a backend API).

🧠 Step 1: Update Calendar Event Handlers

Open calendar.page.ts and add logic to handle event selection and event deletion.

calendar.page.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { ModalController } from '@ionic/angular';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import { EventModalPage } from '../event-modal/event-modal.page';
import { NgCalendarModule } from 'ionic2-calendar';
import { CalendarMode, Step } from 'ionic2-calendar';
import { IonContent, IonHeader, IonTitle, IonToolbar, IonSegmentButton, IonItem, IonButton, IonLabel, IonFab, IonFabButton, IonIcon } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';
import { add } from 'ionicons/icons';
import { addIcons } from 'ionicons';
import { CalendarEvent } from '../models/calendar-event.model';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-calendar',
  templateUrl: './calendar.page.html',
  styleUrls: ['./calendar.page.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgCalendarModule, IonIcon, IonFabButton, IonFab, IonLabel, IonButton, IonItem, IonSegmentButton, IonContent, IonHeader, IonTitle, IonToolbar, CommonModule, FormsModule]
})
export class CalendarPage implements OnInit {
  eventSource: any[] = [];
  calendar = {
    mode: 'month' as CalendarMode,
    currentDate: new Date()
  };
  selectedDate: Date = new Date();

  viewTitle = '';

  constructor(private modalCtrl: ModalController) {
    addIcons({ add });
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.loadEvents();
  }

  loadEvents() {
    const storedEvents = localStorage.getItem('events');
    if (storedEvents) {
      this.eventSource = JSON.parse(storedEvents);
    }
  }

  next() {
    const nextDate = dayjs(this.calendar.currentDate).add(1, this.calendar.mode as any);
    this.calendar.currentDate = nextDate.toDate();
  }

  back() {
    const prevDate = dayjs(this.calendar.currentDate).subtract(1, this.calendar.mode as any);
    this.calendar.currentDate = prevDate.toDate();
  }

  async addEvent() {
    const modal = await this.modalCtrl.create({
      component: EventModalPage,
      componentProps: { selectedDate: this.selectedDate }
    });
    await modal.present();

    const { data } = await modal.onWillDismiss();
    if (data && data.event) {
      this.eventSource.push(data.event);
      this.eventSource = [...this.eventSource]; // refresh calendar
    }
  }

  async onEventSelected(event: CalendarEvent) {
    const alert = await this.alertCtrl.create({
      header: event.title,
      message: `
        <strong>Start:</strong> ${new Date(event.startTime).toLocaleString()}<br>
        <strong>End:</strong> ${new Date(event.endTime).toLocaleString()}<br>
        <strong>All Day:</strong> ${event.allDay ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
      `,
      buttons: [
        {
          text: 'Edit',
          handler: () => this.openEditEventModal(event)
        },
        {
          text: 'Delete',
          role: 'destructive',
          handler: () => this.deleteEvent(event)
        },
        { text: 'Close', role: 'cancel' }
      ]
    });
    await alert.present();
  }

  onTimeSelected(event: any) {
    this.selectedDate = event.selectedTime;
  }

  async openEditEventModal(event: CalendarEvent) {
    const modal = await this.modalCtrl.create({
      component: EventModalPage,
      componentProps: { isEdit: true, event }
    });
    modal.onDidDismiss().then((result) => {
      if (result.data && result.data.event) {
        const index = this.eventSource.findIndex(e => e.startTime === event.startTime && e.title === event.title);
        if (index > -1) {
          this.eventSource[index] = result.data.event;
          localStorage.setItem('events', JSON.stringify(this.eventSource));
          this.calendarComponent.loadEvents();
        }
      }
    });
    await modal.present();
  }

  deleteEvent(event: CalendarEvent) {
    this.eventSource = this.eventSource.filter(e => e !== event);
    localStorage.setItem('events', JSON.stringify(this.eventSource));
    this.calendarComponent.loadEvents();
  }

  onViewTitleChanged(title: string) {
    this.viewTitle = title;
  }
}

🧱 Step 2: Add a Model for Events

Create a simple model file for better structure.

src/app/models/calendar-event.model.ts

export interface CalendarEvent {
  title: string;
  desc?: string;
  startTime: Date;
  endTime: Date;
  allDay: boolean;
}

🧩 Step 3: Update Event Modal for Editing

Update the event modal so it supports editing existing events.

✅ Add in event-modal.page.ts (at the top of ngOnInit)

  isEdit: boolean = false;
  event: any;

  ngOnInit() {
    this.eventForm = this.fb.group({
      title: ['', Validators.required],
      startTime: [this.selectedDate.toISOString(), Validators.required],
      endTime: [
        dayjs(this.selectedDate).add(1, 'hour').toDate().toISOString(),
        Validators.required,
      ],
      desc: ['']
    });

    if (this.isEdit && this.event) {
      this.eventForm.patchValue({
        title: this.event.title,
        desc: this.event.desc,
        startTime: this.event.startTime,
        endTime: this.event.endTime,
        allDay: this.event.allDay
      });
    }
  }

💡 Step 4: Local Storage Integration

Events are saved locally so users can refresh without losing them.
You can later replace localStorage with an API call to your backend.

Result

You can now:

  • Click an event on the calendar to view details

  • Choose Edit to modify it

  • Choose Delete to remove it

  • Add new events from the floating + button

  • Persist events locally between reloads


Styling and Enhancements

We’ll polish the app with:

  • A cleaner layout and better spacing

  • A visible floating “Add Event” button

  • Color-coded events

  • Toast notifications for feedback

  • Dark mode compatibility

🧱 Step 1: Improve Calendar Page Layout

Open calendar.page.html and update it with enhanced styling and positioning.

calendar.page.html

<ion-header translucent="true">
  <ion-toolbar color="primary">
    <ion-title>{{ viewTitle }}</ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content [fullscreen]="true">
  <div class="calendar-container">
    <calendar
      [eventSource]="eventSource"
      [calendarMode]="calendar.mode"
      [currentDate]="calendar.currentDate"
      (onEventSelected)="onEventSelected($event)"
      (onViewTitleChanged)="onViewTitleChanged($any($event))"
      (onTimeSelected)="onTimeSelected($event)"
    >
    </calendar>
  </div>

  <ion-fab slot="fixed" vertical="bottom" horizontal="end">
    <ion-fab-button color="success" (click)="addEvent()">
      <ion-icon name="add-outline"></ion-icon>
    </ion-fab-button>
  </ion-fab>
</ion-content>

💅 Step 2: Add Modern Styling

Now, open calendar.page.scss and add the following styles.

calendar.page.scss

.calendar-container {
  padding: 8px;
  background: var(--ion-background-color);
  height: 100%;
}

calendar {
  border-radius: 12px;
  box-shadow: 0 2px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
  background: var(--ion-color-light);
  overflow: hidden;
}

ion-fab-button {
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  border-radius: 50%;
}

ion-fab-button:hover {
  transform: scale(1.05);
  transition: transform 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

💡 These SCSS rules give your calendar a modern card-like feel and make the floating action button stand out.

🧩 Step 3: Add Event Color Coding

Let’s give each event a color (e.g., blue for normal events, green for all-day events).

Update the event creation logic in your modal submission.

✅ In event-modal.page.ts, inside save():

const newEvent = {
  title: this.eventForm.value.title,
  desc: this.eventForm.value.desc,
  startTime: new Date(this.eventForm.value.startTime),
  endTime: new Date(this.eventForm.value.endTime),
  allDay: this.eventForm.value.allDay,
  color: this.eventForm.value.allDay ? '#10dc60' : '#3880ff' // green or blue
};

🪄 Step 4: Add Toast Notifications

Provide user feedback when events are created, updated, or deleted.

✅ Add Toast Controller to calendar.page.ts

import { ToastController } from '@ionic/angular';

private toastCtrl = inject(ToastController);

async showToast(message: string) {
  const toast = await this.toastCtrl.create({
    message,
    duration: 2000,
    position: 'bottom',
    color: 'tertiary'
  });
  await toast.present();
}

Now call this.showToast('Event added successfully!'), this.showToast('Event updated!'), or this.showToast('Event deleted!') after each respective action.

🌗 Step 5: Ensure Dark Mode Support

Add color variables that automatically adapt to dark mode.

src/theme/variables.scss

:root {
  --calendar-bg: var(--ion-color-light);
  --calendar-text: var(--ion-color-dark);
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --calendar-bg: #1e1e1e;
    --calendar-text: #f5f5f5;
  }
}

Then apply them in your calendar.page.scss:

calendar {
  background: var(--calendar-bg);
  color: var(--calendar-text);
}
