Soft limit for maxEventCount

Summary

When you have e.g. 4 events per day, set maxDaysToShow: 2 and maxEventCount: 6 you’ll have only half of tomorrows events listed. If you could set maxEventSoftCount: 6, tomorrow would either not shown or shown completely (depending on the way the function would be implemented)

Motivation

This is especially relevant if you have multiple calendars in the card or lots of events per day in one calendar. With the current hard limit, it can give the impression, that you only have e.g. 2 events for the last day shown in the calendar card while instead you have e.g. 4 events. If you look on the calendar card to plan something for the last day shown, you could miss an already planned event.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Instead of another limit setting, there could be a soft-limit-flag:

maxEventCount: 6
maxEventSoft: true

In testing I have the following:

maxDaysToShow: 7
maxEventCount: 3

maxDaysToShow: 7
maxEventCount: 3
softLimit: 1

maxDaysToShow: 7
maxEventCount: 6
softLimit: 1

maxDaysToShow: 7
maxEventCount: 6
softLimit: 3

I also find JS a headache, I’m mainly a backend developer so it stumps me quite a bit!

Ok I think I understand now and also took a quick look at the other card you mentioned.

So I think I will add two new options: softLimit: 3 This would then show 3 events over the limit if 3 or less exist, in a case where more exist a link will be shown.

Where no softLimit is set then it will just show a link and count of missing events.

I will see what I can do 😃
