# DayGrid View

A DayGrid view displays one or more cells, each representing a day.<!--more-->

There are numerous other options throughout the docs that affect the display of DayGrid view, such as the [date/time display options](date-display.md) and [locale-related options](localization.md).


## Week & Day View

The following example shows how to toggle between `dayGridWeek` and `dayGridDay`:

```js
import { Calendar } from 'fullcalendar'
import dayGridPlugin from 'fullcalendar/daygrid'

const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [dayGridPlugin],
  initialView: 'dayGridWeek',
  headerToolbar: {
    left: 'prev,next',
    center: 'title',
    right: 'dayGridWeek,dayGridDay' // user can switch between the two
  }
})
```

```js
import { Calendar } from 'fullcalendar'
import dayGridPlugin from 'fullcalendar/daygrid'

const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  plugins: [dayGridPlugin],
  initialView: 'dayGridFourWeek',
  views: {
    dayGridFourWeek: {
      type: 'dayGrid',
      duration: { weeks: 4 }
    }
  }
})
```
