How to place the calendar in a project on React.js

With the usual placement of the calendar code in React.js projects, it may sometimes not be displayed. To solve this problem, you can use the following code:

import React from 'react'

export default class AviasalesCalendar extends React.Component {

componentDidMount() {
const script = document.createElement('script')
script.src = '//www.travelpayouts.com/calendar_widget/iframe.js?marker=YourMarker.&origin=IEV&destination=BKK&currency=usd&searchUrl=hydra.aviasales.com&one_way=false&only_direct=false&locale=en&period=year&range=7%2C14&powered_by=true&width=800'
script.charSet = 'utf-8'
script.async = true
this.scriptTag.appendChild(script)
}

render() {
return (
<div ref={ref => (this.scriptTag = ref)} />
)
}
}

where in the script.src parameter you specify a link to the script code of your calendar from your personal account.
