## Detailed Description

MonthGrid presents a calendar month in a grid. The contents are calculated for a given month and year, using the specified locale.

     MonthGrid {
         month: Calendar.December
         year: 2015
         locale: Qt.locale("en_US")
     }

MonthGrid can be used as a standalone control, but it is most often used in conjunction with DayOfWeekRow and WeekNumberColumn. Regardless of the use case, positioning of the grid is left to the user.

     GridLayout {
         columns: 2

         DayOfWeekRow {
             locale: grid.locale

             Layout.column: 1
             Layout.fillWidth: true
         }

         WeekNumberColumn {
             month: grid.month
             year: grid.year
             locale: grid.locale

             Layout.fillHeight: true
         }

         MonthGrid {
             id: grid
             month: Calendar.December
             year: 2015
             locale: Qt.locale("en_US")

             Layout.fillWidth: true
             Layout.fillHeight: true
         }
     }

The visual appearance of MonthGrid can be changed by implementing a custom delegate.

When viewing any given month, MonthGrid shows days from the previous and next month. This means it always shows six rows, even when first or last row is entirely within an adjacent month.

## Localizing days

To localize days, use Locale.toString(). For example, to display day numbers in an Arabic locale:

     MonthGrid {
         id: monthGrid
         month: Calendar.December
         year: 2015
         locale: Qt.locale("ar")
         delegate: Text {
             horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
             verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
             opacity: model.month === monthGrid.month ? 1 : 0
             text: monthGrid.locale.toString(model.date, "d")
             font: monthGrid.font

             required property var model
         }
     }

## Property Documentation

delegate : Component

This property holds the item delegate that visualizes each day.

In addition to the `index` property, a list of model data roles are available in the context of each delegate:

model.date : date | The date of the cell
model.day : int | The number of the day
model.today : bool | Whether the delegate represents today
model.weekNumber : int | The week number
model.month : int | The number of the month
model.year : int | The number of the year

The following snippet presents the default implementation of the item delegate. It can be used as a starting point for implementing custom delegates.

     delegate: Text {
         horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
         verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
         opacity: model.month === control.month ? 1 : 0
         text: model.day
         font: control.font

         required property var model
     }

month : int

This property holds the number of the month. The default value is the current month.

The Qt Quick Calendar module uses 0-based month numbers to be consistent with the JavaScript Date type, that is used by the QML language. This means that `Date::getMonth()` can be passed to the methods as is. When dealing with month numbers directly, it is highly recommended to use the following enumeration values to avoid confusion.

Constant | Description
--- | ---
`Calendar.January` | January (0)
`Calendar.February` | February (1)
`Calendar.March` | March (2)
`Calendar.April` | April (3)
`Calendar.May` | May (4)
`Calendar.June` | June (5)
`Calendar.July` | July (6)
`Calendar.August` | August (7)
`Calendar.September` | September (8)
`Calendar.October` | October (9)
`Calendar.November` | November (10)
`Calendar.December` | December (11)

See also Calendar.

title : string

This property holds a title for the calendar.

This property is provided for convenience. MonthGrid itself does not visualize the title. The default value consists of the month name, formatted using locale, and the year number.

year : int

This property holds the number of the year.

The value must be in the range from `-271820` to `275759`. The default value is the current year.
