agcaldav

#Ruby CalDAV library named "agcaldav" agcaldav is a CalDAV library based on martinpovolny/ruby-caldav and 4fthawaiian/ruby-caldav and collectiveidea/caldav

Please keep in mind, agcaldav ist still under heavy development and still not finished...

##Usage Events

First, you've to install the gem

gem install agcaldav

and require it

require "agcaldav"

Next you have to obtain the URI, username and password to a CalDAV-Server. If you don't have one try RADICALE (https://github.com/agilastic/Radicale). It's small, simple and written in python. In the following steps I'm using the default params of Radical.

Now you can e.g. create a new AgCalDAV-Client:

cal = AgCalDAV::Client.new(:uri => "http://localhost:5232/user/calendar", :user => "user" , :password => "")

Alternatively, the proxy parameters can be specified:

cal = AgCalDAV::Client.new(:uri => "http://localhost:5232/user/calendar",:user => "user" , :password => "password", :proxy_uri => "http://my-proxy.com:8080")

####Create an Event

result = cal.create_event(:start => "2012-12-29 10:00", :end => "2012-12-30 12:00", :title => "12345", :description => "12345 12345")

Analyze result:

>> result
=> #<Icalendar::Event:0x007ff653b47520 @name="VEVENT", @components={}, @properties={"sequence"=>0, "dtstamp"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-30T19:59:04+00:00 (26527957193/10800,0/1,2299161)>, "description"=>"sdkvjsdf sdkf sdkfj sdkf dsfj", "dtend"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-30T12:00:00+00:00 (2456292/1,0/1,2299161)>, "dtstart"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-29T10:00:00+00:00 (29475491/12,0/1,2299161)>, "summary"=>"12345", "uid"=>"e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c", "x-radicale_name"=>"e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c.ics"}> 

>> result.class
=> Icalendar::Event

get UID of this Event:

>> result.uid
=> "e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c"

####Find an Event (via UUID)

result = cal.find_event("e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c")

>> result.class
=> Icalendar::Event

####Find Events within time interval

result = cal.find_events(:start => "2012-10-01 08:00", :end => "2013-01-01")

>> result
=> [#<Icalendar::Event:0x007f8ad11cfdf0 @name="VEVENT", @components={}, @properties={"sequence"=>0, "dtstamp"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-31T13:44:10+00:00 (4244474429/1728,0/1,2299161)>, "description"=>"sdkvjsdf sdkf sdkfj sdkf dsfj", "dtend"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-30T12:00:00+00:00 (2456292/1,0/1,2299161)>, "dtstart"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-29T10:00:00+00:00 (29475491/12,0/1,2299161)>, "summary"=>"12345", "uid"=>"b2c45e20-3575-0130-7d2e-109add70606c", "x-radicale_name"=>"b2c45e20-3575-0130-7d2e-109add70606c.ics"}>, #<Icalendar::Event:0x007f8ad10d7dd0 @name="VEVENT", @components={}, @properties={"sequence"=>0, "dtstamp"=>#<DateTime: 2012-12-31T13:44:10+00:00 (4244474429/1728,0/1,2299161)>, "uid"=>"b2c45e20-3575-0130-7d2e-109add70606c", "x-radicale_name"=>"b2c45e20-3575-0130-7d2e-109add70606c.ics"}>]

>> result.class
=> Array

>> result.count
=> 2

####Update Event

event = {:start => "2012-12-29 10:00", :end => "2012-12-30 12:00", :title => "12345", :description => "sdkvjsdf sdkf sdkfj sdkf dsfj"}
# set UUID 
event[:uid] => "e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c"
c = cal.update_event(event)

####Delete Event

cal.delete_event("e795c480-34e0-0130-7d1d-109add70606c")

##Usage ToDo

####not finished ATM Have a look tomorrow...

##Work to be done ...

• find and notify if overlapping events

• code cleanup -> more ActiveRecord style

##Testing

agcaldav will use RSpec for its test coverage. Inside the gem directory, you can run the specs for RoR 3.x with:

rake spec (will be implemented in > v0.2.5)
