React-big-calendar Toolbar access outside calendar component

Question

I am trying to understand if it is possible with react-big-calendar to have a custom Toolbar with next/prev buttons and also the other buttons outside the normal calendar component or also access to them from outside, creating a custom Toolbar placed another position then the usual one?

Answer 1

If your date and view props are controlled props, then you could (technically) create an external toolbar, using your localizer for things like date/label formatting (if you want that). It won't have access to any of your Calendar's internal props, but it will allow you to control basic navigation. Just have buttons that set the date or view to what you want them to be. And set your toolbar prop to false to prevent the default toolbar from being displayed.
