Recurring Calendar Events in Rails

This article was originally published on Rails Designer Last week I released v1.14 of Rails Designer's UI Components. With that release came a fully-customizable Calendar Component, built with ViewComponent and designed with Tailwind CSS. Since that release I got two times the question via email about recurring events. Does that work? And indeed it does. The Calendar Component simply accepts an events array/collection. And while this kind of functionality is out-of-scope of a UI component (and the support for it), I am currently working on something that just happens to need this kind of feature. It is not at all too difficult to start (the tricky bits start when hundreds of thousands of events are created
