# Class `wibox.widget.calendar`

A calendar widget

This module defines two widgets: a month calendar and a year calendar

The two widgets have a date property, in the form of a table {day=[number|nil], month=[number|nil], year=[number]}.

The year widget displays the whole specified year, e.g. {year=2006}.

The month widget displays the calendar for the specified month, e.g. {month=12, year=2006}, highlighting the specified day if the day is provided in the date, e.g. {day=22, month=12, year=2006}.

Cell and container styles can be overridden using the fn_embed callback function which is called before adding the widgets to the layouts. The fn_embed function takes three arguments, the original widget, the flag (string used to identified the widget) and the date (table). It returns another widget, embedding (and modifying) the original widget.

### Usage:

    local cal = wibox.widget.calendar.month(os.date('*t'))
