# eventEditViewControllerDefaultCalendar(forNewEvents:)

The default calendar to use when creating new events.

```
optional func eventEditViewControllerDefaultCalendar(forNewEvents controller: EKEventEditViewController) -> EKCalendar
```

## Parameters

`controller`

The event edit view controller requesting the default calendar.

## Discussion

If the delegate does not implement this method, uses the event store’s <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/defaultCalendarForNewEvents> property instead.
