# TimeGrid View

> FullCalendar v5 documentation, for an old release. Web version: https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/timegrid-view

> Latest version (v7): https://fullcalendar.io/docs/timegrid-view.md

A TimeGrid view displays one or more days side by side, against a vertical axis of time. The time axis usually runs from midnight to midnight. The two predefined TimeGrid views are the **timeGridWeek** and **timeGridDay** views. They can be initialized in an [ES6 setup](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/initialize-es6.md) like so:

```js
import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/core';
import timeGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/timegrid';
...
let calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [ timeGridPlugin ],
  initialView: 'timeGridWeek'
});
...
```

Or you can choose to initialized the TimeGrid views [as a global bundle](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/initialize-globals.md):

```html
<link href='fullcalendar/main.css' rel='stylesheet' />
<script src='fullcalendar/main.js'></script>
<script>
...
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
  initialView: 'timeGridWeek'
});
...
</script>
```

TimeGrid views of other durations can be made with a [custom view](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/custom-view-with-settings.md) with type `'timeGrid'`.

The following options are specific to TimeGrid view. However, there are numerous other options throughout the docs that affect the display of TimeGrid view, such as the [date/time display options](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/date-display.md) and [locale-related options](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/localization.md).

## TimeGrid-specific Options

- [eventMinHeight](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/eventMinHeight.md) - In timeGrid view, the minimum height an event is allowed to be.
- [eventShortHeight](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/eventShortHeight.md) - In timeGrid view, the height threshold for when an event has a “short” style.
- [slotEventOverlap](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/slotEventOverlap.md) - Determines if timed events in TimeGrid view should visually overlap.
- [allDaySlot](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/allDaySlot.md) - Determines if the “all-day” slot is displayed at the top of the calendar.
- [All-Day Render Hooks](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v5/all-day-render-hooks.md) - Customize parts of the UI that typically display the text “all-day”.
