Question

Is there a way to prevent overlapping events in jQuery FullCalendar?

Answer 1

Just add

eventOverlap: false

as one of your options outside of the events element.

You can also add the option

overlap

to a single event, which will override the eventOverlap on that single event.

events: [
                        {
                            title  : 'event1',
                            start  : '2017-05-27'
                        },
                        {
                            title  : 'event2',
                            start  : '2017-05-28',
                            end    : '2017-05-29'
                        },
                        {
                            title  : 'event3',
                            start  : '2017-05-30T12:30:00',
                            allDay : false, // will make the time show
                            draggable: true,
                            editable: true,
                            overlap: true,
                        },
                        {
                            title  : 'event3',
                            start  : '2017-05-30T09:30:00',
                            allDay : false, // will make the time show
                            draggable: true,
                            editable: true,
                        }
                    ],
                    eventOverlap: false
