Easy direct access to the most recent official timezone information for iCalendar files
The tool to convert the IANA (formerly Olson) timezone database files into VTIMEZONE blocks, compatible with the iCalendar specification (RFC2445).
It is based on the awesome tool by Damon Chaplin (github.com/libical/vzic), but only provides the VTIMEZONE part to easily put this into any other iCal generator (like the add-to-calendar-button). It is built to be used standalone or as JavaScript module, hosted as npm package.
This step is only relevant if you want to build the package from source!
(Requires Node.js as well as Linux as operating system.)
Run
sudo sh update-tzdata.sh tzVersionNumber
with tzVersionNumber being the version of the timezone database you want to use (e.g. sudo sh update-tzdata.sh 2022c).
There are basically 2 options how you can use the script.
You can use the VanillaJS version from the dist folder or simply the jsDelivr CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/timzones-ical-library"></script>
npm install timezones-ical-library
After the installation, you can then either ...
import { tzlib_get_ical_block } from 'timezones-ical-library';.Use tzlib_get_ical_block(tzName) function to return the proper iCal VTIMEZONE block for a given timezone string (tzName).
Use tzlib_get_timezones() to retrieve a list of all available timezone strings. You can pass true to retrieve a JSON formatted string instead of an array.
