[MagicMirror] calender refactoring

[Ax-LED]

Hi to all MM-Builders,

as i want to use my MM as replacement for a analog family cardboard calendar i have following question/request.

Is there calendar module, where i can “scroll” throuh the dates?
As i have a rotary encoder connected to my pi 3 - sending of notifications is no problem.
Something like “+7” or “-7” (days).

I checked the default calendar module and guess i have to add “notification received”, but i dont understand, how the module reads an .ics file.

Is it possible to set a start date, from which the calender entries should be shown?
So i could manipulate the startdate by notifications from my rotary module (MMM-Navigate).

Maybe someone has a tip where i can start.

Thanks in advance.

Hi to all,

i checked the default calendar module and found an approach:
If i manipulate following code:
calendar.js, Line 338:
var today = moment().startOf("day");’ to var today = moment().subtract(60,'d').startOf("day");

and

calendarfetcher.js, Line 74:
var today = moment().startOf("day").toDate(); to var today = moment().subtract(60,'d').startOf("day").toDate();

the calendar module of my MM will show calendar entries starting Date of two month ago (today-60 days).

Now i have to add following functions:

notification received function for ±5 days (for example)
manipulate variable today with value of notification received
pass variable today to the right place in code of calender.js and calendarfetcher.js
refresh module after receiving notification
stop sending notification from calendar to other modules, in case variable today is manipulated

@Ax-LED did you had a look at https://github.com/eouia/MMM-CalendarExt, someone mentioned this module to me but I can't find it anymore. This allows a big set of modifications with notifgications already.

@fewieden i only checked the Readme of MMM-CalendarExt on github and i didnt like the style. So i tried to modifiy the original calendar module (i like its plain style).
