how to pass selected month value from vf page to controller and fetch records for that particular mont

Question

I am using jquery fullcalendar to display records in calendar view. Currently i have a scenario where i am selecting months from vf page and i need to fetch records from controller for the selected month only.

The below javascript is giving me the start date of the month selected.

var month = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate');
var f = month.format('YYYY-MM-01');

Ex - if i select Oct 2016, it gives as 2016-10-01

I need to pass this info from vf page to controller and i need to add this in my SOQL filter.

SOQL -

eventList = [select Id, Name, Start_Date__c,  End_Date__c   from ABC__c ]; 

In ABC__c object i have startdate & enddate as Date field which can be any date.

How to fit the selected month from vf page to this SOQL .

Answer 1

you can use apex:actionfunction with apex:param to pass the value

<script>
callactfunc(f);
</script>

Then an actionfunction

<apex:actionfunction action="{!controllermethod} name="callactfunc" rerender="form">
      <apex:param name="datename" value="" />
</apex:actionfunction>

And finally in your controller

public void controllermethod(){
string datevar = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('datename');
//... continue with processing

}
