Framework7 is a full featured HTML5 framework suiteable for developing hybrid mobile and web applications. it comes with two themes: material theme for android and ios theme. Framework7 has dozens if not hundreds of easy and ready to use components. Among them is calender widget.

Calender can be used to display dates. We can also set events and date ranges. In this tutorial we see how to display date via calender, get date programmatically and also set dates. We get and set multiple dates on the calender. Check the video tutorial for demo.
