fullCalendar today button custom behavior

Question

I have troubles with fullCalendar. I am using week view(defaultView: 'basicWeek'), and the toolbar buttons 'today', 'prev', 'next'. And when I click 'today' button is clicked calendar navigates back to current week, but date selection doesn't change. I want calendar to navigate to current week and select today date on the calendar. But I am having troubles with redefining 'today' button click event.

Code sample: https://plnkr.co/edit/dv9yiq1CdJxfFTsDg4Yx?p=preview

defaultView: 'basicWeek',
            defaultDate: '2016-01-12',
            selectable: true,
            selectHelper: true,
            select: function(start, end) {
              console.log('select');
                var title = prompt('Event Title:');
                var eventData;
                if (title) {
                    eventData = {
                        title: title,
                        start: start,
                        end: end
                    };
                    $('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', eventData, true); 
                }
                $('#calendar').fullCalendar('unselect');
            }

I want a popup(alert) for today date to appear when I clicked 'today' button in this case.So basicly the button click not only navigate me to current week, but to select current day.

You can manually listen to the today's button click and then call calendar's select method passing correct arguments.

Try the following code: https://plnkr.co/edit/62Dx5pVrDDXnwoME5jbU?p=preview

calendar.find('.fc-today-button').click(function(){
  var start = new Date();
  start.setHours(0,0,0,0);
  var end = new Date();
  end.setDate(end.getDate() + 1);
  end.setHours(0,0,0,0);
  calendar.fullCalendar('select', start, end);
});
