Recurring event in FullCalendar

Question

So I have spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure this out and tried all other previously proposed answers. I'm still not able to get it right.

I'm trying to setup a calendar where the recurring events are filtered within the specified date range. Example: "My event" - every Thursday at 2:15PM - Between 2017/06/01 and 2017/06/30.

I've unsuccessfully tried the solutions proposed on this link: Recurring Events in FullCalendar

In the end end I decided to follow this route: https://github.com/c-trimm/moment-recur

It's a moments.js plugin (moment-recur) that should process the date range filter.

Please help!

My json feed returns:

  [{
    "title":"my event",
    "start":"2017-06-01T14:15",
    "dow":"4",
    "recurrence":"moment().recur[{
                 start:\"2017-06-01\",
                 end:\"2017-06-30\"}]"
  }]

My calendar works except for the fact that it will not stop publishing the event on Thursdays forever. I don't want to have to manually duplicate the event.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/fullcalendar.css">
    <script src='/jquery.min.js'></script>
    <script src='/moment.min.js'></script>
    <script src='/moment-recur.js'></script>
    <script src='/fullcalendar.js'></script>    

    <script>

        $(document).ready(function() {

            $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
                header: {
                left: 'prev,next today',
                center: 'title',
                right: 'month,listWeek,listDay'
                },
                validRange: function(nowDate) {
                        return {
                            start: nowDate.clone().subtract(2, 'months'),
                            end: nowDate.clone().add(2, 'months')
                        };
                    },

                // customize the button names,
                // otherwise they'd all just say "list"
                views: {
                listDay: { buttonText: 'Day' },
                listWeek: { buttonText: 'Week' },
                },
                hiddenDays: [ 5 ], // hide Fridays
                editable: true,
                eventLimit: true, // allow "more" link when too many events
                businessHours: [ // specify an array instead
                    {
                        dow: [ 1 ], // Monday,
                        start: '12:30', // 8am
                        end: '22:00' // 6pm
                    },
                    {
                        dow: [ 2, 3 ], // Tuesday, Wednesday
                        start: '9:30', // 8am
                        end: '22:00' // 6pm
                    },
                    {
                        dow: [ 4, ], // Thursday
                        start: '13:00', // 10am
                        end: '22:00' // 4pm
                    },
                    {
                        dow: [ 7 ], // Sunday
                        start: '11:00', // 10am
                        end: '18:30' // 4pm
                    }],
                events: 'my-event/feed',

       //THIS IS WHERE I GET STUCK!!!!!

                // I'm trying to implement this:
                eventRender: 
                recurrence = moment().recur({
                start: "01/01/2014",
                end: "01/01/2015"
               });

            });
        });
    </script>

    <div id='calendar'></div>

I believe i'm suppose to write it as a function but no mater what I try it either brakes the calendar or doesn't return any results. Thanks in advance to you all!

Below is the fiddler link for recurring events in fullcalendar.

You need to specify dow property in event as specified in example.

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    defaultDate: moment(),
    header: {
        left: 'prev,next today',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
    },
    defaultView: 'month',

    events: [{
        title:"My repeating event",
        start: '10:00', // a start time (10am in this example)
        end: '14:00', // an end time (6pm in this example)

        dow: [ 1, 4 ] // Repeat monday and thursday
    }],
});
