# React Scheduler using Google Calendar API

[#react](https://dev.to/t/react)[#firebase](https://dev.to/t/firebase)[#tutorial](https://dev.to/t/tutorial)

Hey team! I was recently working on a project that involved getting someone's personal calendar integrated into a React project. After looking into it a bit, I couldn't find anything that had a full documentation on how to do it, which inspired me to make this. So today, let's make a fully functioning calendar in React, and populate it with events from your own Google Calendar!

Now this tutorial is broken up into a few parts:

* Firstly, we'll focus entirely on the front end, using sample data from a local json file.
* Next, we'll create the Firebase functions that use the Google Calendar API to retrieve events
* Lastly, we'll connect the two and talk about some future ideas you can add.

_This tutorial will assume you have some experience or familiarity with React._
