This command will create one model name Event and also create one migration file for the Events table.

After successfully run the command, Navigate to database/migrations folder and open create_events_table.php file. Then update the following code into create_users_table.php file, as follow:

<?php
 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
 
class CreateEventsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('events', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->dateTime('start');
            $table->dateTime('end');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
 
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('events');
    }
}

Now, execute the following command on terminal to create the tables into database:

php artisan migrate

Step 4 – Add Routes

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;
 
 
Route::get('ckeditor', [FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/create', [FullCalendarController::class, 'create']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/update', [FullCalendarController::class, 'update']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/delete', [FullCalendarController::class, 'destroy']);

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use App\Models\Event;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response;
   
class FullCalenderController extends Controller
{
 
    public function index()
    {
        if(request()->ajax()) 
        {
 
         $start = (!empty($_GET["start"])) ? ($_GET["start"]) : ('');
         $end = (!empty($_GET["end"])) ? ($_GET["end"]) : ('');
 
         $data = Event::whereDate('start', '>=', $start)->whereDate('end',   '<=', $end)->get(['id','title','start', 'end']);
         return Response::json($data);
        }
        return view('fullcalendar');
    }
    
   
    public function create(Request $request)
    {  
        $insertArr = [ 'title' => $request->title,
                       'start' => $request->start,
                       'end' => $request->end
                    ];
        $event = Event::insert($insertArr);   
        return Response::json($event);
    }
     
 
    public function update(Request $request)
    {   
        $where = array('id' => $request->id);
        $updateArr = ['title' => $request->title,'start' => $request->start, 'end' => $request->end];
        $event  = Event::where($where)->update($updateArr);
 
        return Response::json($event);
    } 
 
 
    public function destroy(Request $request)
    {

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

}
});

eventRender: function (event, element, view) {
if (event.allDay === 'true') {
event.allDay = true;
} else {

}
calendar.fullCalendar('unselect');
},
eventDrop: function (event, delta) {
var start = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.start, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
