# 3rd Party Integration

Integration with third party libraries or vanilla JavaScript code can be achieved via [lifecycle methods](lifecycle-methods.md).

## noUiSlider Example

```javascript
/** NoUiSlider wrapper component */
function Slider() {
	var slider

	return {
		oncreate: function(vnode) {
			// Initialize 3rd party lib here
			slider = noUiSlider.create(vnode.dom, {
				start: 0,
				range: {min: 0, max: 100}
			})
			slider.on('update', function(values) {
				vnode.attrs.onChange(values[0])
				m.redraw()
			})
		},
		onremove: function() {
			// Cleanup 3rd party lib on removal
			slider.destroy()
		},
		view: function() {
			return m('div')
		}
	}
}

/** Demo app component */
function Demo() {
	var showSlider = false
	var value = 0

	return {
		view: function() {
			return m('.app',
				m('p',
					m('button',
						{
							type: 'button',
							onclick: function() {
								showSlider = !showSlider
							}
						},
						showSlider ? "Destroy Slider" : "Create Slider"
					)
				),
				showSlider && m(Slider, {
					onChange: function(v) {
						value = v
					}
				}),
				m('p', value)
			)
		}
	}
}

m.mount(document.body, Demo)
```

## Bootstrap FullCalendar Example

```javascript
/** FullCalendar wrapper component */
var FullCalendar = {
	oncreate: function (vnode) {
		console.log('FullCalendar::oncreate')
		$(vnode.dom).fullCalendar({
			// put your initial options and callbacks here
		})
	},
	onremove: function (vnode) {
		// Run any destroy / cleanup methods here.
		$(vnode.dom).fullCalendar('destroy')
	},
	view: function (vnode) {
		return m('div')
	}
}

/** Demo app component */
function Demo() {
	var fullCalendarEl

	function next() {
		$(fullCalendarEl).fullCalendar('next')
	}

	function prev() {
		$(fullCalendarEl).fullCalendar('prev')
	}

	return {
		view: function (vnode) {
			return [
				m('h1', 'Calendar'),
				m(FullCalendar, {
					oncreate: function(vnode) {
						fullCalendarEl = vnode.dom
					}
				}),
				m('button', {
					onclick: prev
				}, 'Mithril Button -'),
				m('button', {
					onclick: next
				}, 'Mithril Button +')
			]
		}
	}
}

m.mount(document.body, Demo)
```
