> FullCalendar v4 documentation, for an old release. Web version: https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/select-callback
>
> Latest version (v7): https://fullcalendar.io/docs/select-callback.md

Triggered when a date/time selection is made.<!--more--> [See a demo](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/date-clicking-selecting-demo).

<div class='spec' markdown='1'>
function( *selectionInfo* )
</div>

`selectionInfo` is a plain object with the following properties:

<table>

<tr>
<th>start</th>
<td markdown='1'>
[Date](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/date-object.md). A date indicating the beginning of the selection.
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th>end</th>
<td markdown='1'>
[Date](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/date-object.md). A date indicating the end of the selection.

In line with the discussion about the [Event object](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/event-parsing.md), it is important to stress that the `end` date property is **exclusive**. For example, if the selection is all-day and the last day is a Thursday, `end` will be Friday.
