ICalCalendarCalzone for ical-gen

Build Status NPM version Size MIT License

ICalCalendarCalzone is a class that you can use instead of the more basic ICalCalendar class that comes with ical-gen. It gives your calendar component class the extra power to automatically resolve and include iCalendar-compatible VTIMEZONE components fast. Time zones that cannot be resolved will be ignored silently.

This class must be used together with ical-gen, a fast and modular iCalendar (ICS) generator written in TypeScript.

The time zone data is provided by iCalzone.

⚡️ Quick Start

Installation

This package requires ical-gen, so make sure to install that as well.

yarn add ical-gen ical-gen-calzone
# or
npm install ical-gen ical-gen-calzone

Basic Usage

The class ICalCalendarCalzone has exactly the same API as its super class ICalCalendar, so you can easily replace it to give it the extra power.

import { ICalEvent } from 'ical-gen';
import { ICalCalendarCalzone } from 'ical-gen-calzone';

const cal = new ICalCalendarCalzone({
  prodId: {
    company: 'My Company X',
    product: 'My Product Name',
    language: 'XX',
  },
  children: [
    new ICalEvent({
      start: {
        date: new Date(1621036800000),
        zone: 'Europe/London',
      },
      end: {
        date: new Date(1621123200000),
        zone: 'Europe/London',
      },
      sequence: 1,
      stamp: new Date(1621036800000),
      summary: 'My Example Appointment',
      uid: '[email protected]',
    })
  ],
});

cal.renderToString().then(ics => {
  console.log(ics);
})

Development

If you want to help with the development of this package, here are some tips.

Although I’m personally a fan of Yarn, in this case it’s best to install the dependencies with NPM version 7+ after cloning:

npm install

That’s because this package has a peer dependency and I don’t currently know how to make Yarn install it so it is available during development.
