I need to implement a schedule system, any suggestions?

Hi! I just need to let users select availability in a 7 day format. In addition, I need to display a simple calendar that shows their appointments after scheduling is done. Perhaps with rescheduling abilities. I haven't done anything with calendars before, any suggestions for building my own simple system and/or using an existing API?

I was thinking about Cal.com It was open sourced last year, so I might try to take chunks out of their repo and use it in my application. Has anyone had experience doing this?

One option for building a simple calendar system for displaying availability and appointments is to use a JavaScript library such as FullCalendar. This library provides a user-friendly interface for creating and displaying calendars, and allows users to select availability and schedule appointments. It also includes features for rescheduling and modifying appointments. To use FullCalendar, you would need to include the library in your project and initialize a calendar instance with the desired options. For example:

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/core';
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction';

// Initialize calendar instance
const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [ interactionPlugin ], // Enables user interaction with the calendar
  selectable: true, // Allows users to select availability
  events: [
    // Add events for existing appointments here
  ],
  dateClick: function(info) {
    // Handle date selection for availability or appointment scheduling here
  },
  eventClick: function(info) {
    // Handle rescheduling or modifying appointments here
  }
});

// Render calendar
calendar.render();

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/core';
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction';

// Initialize calendar instance
const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [ interactionPlugin ], // Enables user interaction with the calendar
  selectable: true, // Allows users to select availability
  events: [
    // Add events for existing appointments here
  ],
  dateClick: function(info) {
    // Handle date selection for availability or appointment scheduling here
  },
  eventClick: function(info) {
    // Handle rescheduling or modifying appointments here
  }
});

// Render calendar
calendar.render();

This code initializes a FullCalendar instance and enables user interaction, allowing users to select availability and schedule appointments. You can add existing appointments to the calendar by providing an array of events in the events option, and handle date selection and appointment modifications using the provided callback functions. ^ wanted to try with GPT3 (sorry if this isn't useful lol)
