How to use angular-ui/ui-calendar (arshaw/fullcalendar) loading call back? - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to implement the loading callback function using the angular-ui calendar. I want my calendar to go to a specific date once it is loaded instead of going to the current date.
I can get this functionality using the dayClick method, however I have not been able to implement the loading function using angular at all. Below is the code, note that the loading callback is not console logging anything.
$scope.goToRootScopeDate = function() {
$scope.myCalendar.fullCalendar('gotoDate', $rootScope.day);
}
/* config calendar view */
$scope.uiConfig = {
calendar: {
defaultView: "agendaDay",
// editable: true,
header: {
left: 'agendaWeek',
center: 'title',
right: 'today prev,next',
},
dayClick: $scope.goToRootScopeDate,
loading: function(bool) {
if (bool) {
console.log('Done loading')
} else {
console.log("still loading")
}
}
},
};

If you want to manage the Loading callback method from the ng-controller...
Loading callback receives two parameters, not a boolean.
/* config calendar view */
$scope.uiConfig = {
calendar: {
defaultView: "agendaDay",
// editable: true,
header: {
left: 'agendaWeek',
center: 'title',
right: 'today prev,next',
},
dayClick: $scope.goToRootScopeDate,
loading: $scope.loading
},
};
And then you manage it in the controller with those 2 parameters
$scope.loading = function(isLoading, view){
alert("is loading" + isLoading);
}
You can reproduce it at this plunker where I added some annoying alerts to manage the loading callback.
But, if you only want to load a specific date at the first screen...
Just set the defaultdate in the config:
/* config calendar view */
$scope.uiConfig = {
calendar: {
defaultView: "agendaDay",
// editable: true,
header: {
left: 'agendaWeek',
center: 'title',
right: 'today prev,next',
},
dayClick: $scope.goToRootScopeDate,
defaultDate:$scope.myDesiredDate
},
};
