# Month View

> FullCalendar v3 documentation, for an old release. Web version: https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v3/month-view
>
> Latest version (v7): https://fullcalendar.io/docs/month-view.md

Month view displays the current month's days, and usually a few days of the previous and next months, in a table-like format. It can be initialized like so:

```js
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  defaultView: 'month'
});
```

The following options are specific to month view. However, there are numerous other options throughout the docs that affect the display of month view, such as the [date/time display options](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v3/date-display.md) and [locale-related options](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v3/localization.md).

## Month-View-specific Options

- [fixedWeekCount](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v3/fixedWeekCount.md) - Determines the number of weeks displayed in a month view.
- [showNonCurrentDates](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v3/showNonCurrentDates.md) - In month view, whether dates in the previous or next month should be rendered at all.
