Conclusion on Dashboard Calendar

What have we done so far?

In this chapter:

1. We installed a third-party library to add a calendar component within our dashboard.
2. We created a new service method to retrieve events for a given user.
3. We added a call to this method within our DashboardComponent, adding the events to the calendar component.
4. We got all the functionality provided to us by angular-calendar with only a few, small modifications to the events returned to us from the API.

Between angular-calendar, the Google Places API, and the date-time picker we used within our Event Create form, we can see how much functionality we can provide to users while using a variety of libraries available to us within the open-source community.

There are times when custom code must be written for specific use cases. But in other scenarios, we can leverage what’s already been made to fit our needs.
