How can I create a custom Event Component for react-big-calendar?

Question

The docs mention having the ability to create custom components: http://intljusticemission.github.io/react-big-calendar/examples/index.html#prop-components

I've tried with:

<BigCalendar
  events={this.state.bookings}
  step={60}
  timeslots={1}
  defaultView='week'
  defaultDate={new Date()}
  min={new Date(this.state.today.getFullYear(), this.state.today.getMonth(), this.state.today.getDate(), 8)}
  components={{
    event: <EventComponent />
  }}
/>

Where EventComponent is:

class EventComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <h1>here we go!</h1>
  }
}

But the error I get is:

Warning: Failed prop type: Invalid prop `components.event` of type ReactElement supplied to `Calendar`, expected an element type (a string or a ReactClass).

and

So what am I to do?

Answer 1

You have to change this part:

components={{
    event: <EventComponent />
  }}

with this:

 components={{
    event: EventComponent
  }}

@Gino Llerena's comment should be the accepted answer, by adding a console log you can see all the data in your event and customize your component accoridngly

const CustomEvent = (event) => { 
  console.log(event)
  return ( 
    <span> <strong> event.title </strong> </span> 
  ) 
}
