Topic: Calendar Plugin event prop not reactive
Expected behavior I have to load data from my database asynchronously then load it into the event ref. The calendar should update when the ref is populated with new events.
Actual behavior I have to load data from my database asynchronously and load it into the event ref. The calendar doesn't update when the ref is populated.

Hi! Use addEvents or removeEvents methods when you want to update the event list. For example:
basicCalendar.value.addEvents(newEventList);
where newEventList is an array with new events.
You can find those methods in the API tab of our documentation: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/vue/plugins/calendar/#docsTabsAPI
Best Regards!

I was struggling with the same issue. For me in order to implement your suggestion required a watcher of a computed property and then to remove all events before adding back the new event list.
watch(myEventList, (newEventList, oldEventList) => { myCalendar.value.removeEvents(oldEventList); myCalendar.value.addEvents(newEventList); })
The performance on this isn't great. There is a noticeable delay when updating the calendar.1. Do you have suggestions of a different implementation to improve performance.2. Can you not make the MDBCalendar component watch for changes in the events prop?

Hi, for now we do not plan to change the functionality around the events prop but we will take a closer look at the addEvents method to check whether we should update it or add some new parameters to it.
Best Regards!
