How to use

This widget needs an 'anchor' - another widget which triggers visibility of the calendar. Default mytextclock is the perfect candidate! Just after mytextclock is instantiated, create the widget and add the mouse listener to it.

local calendar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.calendar-widget.calendar")
-- ...
-- Create a textclock widget
mytextclock = wibox.widget.textclock()
-- default
local cw = calendar_widget()
-- or customized
local cw = calendar_widget({
    theme = 'outrun',
    placement = 'bottom_right',
    start_sunday = true,
    radius = 8,
-- with customized next/previous (see table above)
    previous_month_button = 1,
    next_month_button = 3,
})
mytextclock:connect_signal("button::press",
    function(_, _, _, button)
        if button == 1 then cw.toggle() end
    end)
