AddToCal

A simple JS library to generate "add to calendar" URLs for upcoming events. Packaged as a JS module to allow for more versatile usage.

Usage

Import the module and use the provided functions to generate URLs to add your event to external calendar platforms.

Available functions include

• getGoogleURL(event)
• getYahooURL(event)
• getIcalURI(event)

The event requires the following fields

• title - (string) The event title
• start - (Date) The event start date
• duration - (number) The duration of the event in minutes
• end (optional) - (Date) The end time for the event. This will override the duration if set
• address - (string) Where the event is occurring
• description - (string) A more detailed description of the event

Call 'createCalendar' with your event info, pass in any optional parameters such as a class and/ or id and boom! Insert your add-to-calendar div wherever you'd like.

The only fields that are mandatory are:

• Event title
• Start time
• Event duration, in minutes

Example

var addToCal = require('./addToCal.js');
var googleLink = document.getElementById('addToGoogle');
googleLink.setAttribute('href', addToCal.getGoogleURL({
  title: 'Friday drinks',
  start: new Date('2017-02-24'),
  duration: 60,
  address: 'Breakout room',
  description: 'Office end of week catch up'
});
