DESCRIPTION

Net::ICal::Event represents iCalendar events.

BASIC METHODS

new($args)

Construct a new Event. Parameters are in a hash. Meaningful parameters are:

REQUIRED

  • dtstart - a Net::ICal::Time for when this event starts.

  • dtend - a Net::ICal::Time for the end of this event. Use either this OR a duration (below). Use when the ending time of an event is fixed ("I have to leave at 3pm to pick up my child.")

  • duration - a Net::ICal::Duration; how long this event lasts. Use for things like plane flights - "The trip will take 2 hours, no matter when the plane takes off. If I start late, I end late." Use either this OR a dtend, above.

  • organizer - a Net::ICal::Attendee for who's organizing this meeting.

OPTIONAL

  • attendee - who's going to be at this meeting; an array of Net::ICal::Attendee objects.

  • categories - what categories this event falls into. Make up your own categories. Optional.

  • comment - a hash like that for description (above), comments on this event.

  • contact - a string describing who to contact about this event.

  • request_status - how successful we've been at scheduling this event so far. Values can be integers separated by periods. 1.x.y is a preliminary success, 2.x.y is a complete successful request, 3.x.y is a failed request because of bad iCal format, 4.x.y is a calendar server failure.

  • related_to - an array of other Event, Todo, or Journal objects this Event is related to.

  • resources - resources (such as an overhead projector) required for this event.

  • sequence - an integer that starts at 0 when this object is created and is incremented every time the object is changed.

RECURRING EVENTS

  • recurrence_id - if this event occurs multiple times, which occurrence of it is this particular event?

  • rdate - an array of Net::ICal::Time objects describing repeated occurrences of this event.

  • rrule - an array of Net::ICal::Recurrence objects telling when this event repeats.

  • exdate - a Net::ICal::Time giving a single-date exception to a recurring event.

  • exrule - an array of Net::ICal::Recurrence objects giving a recurring exception to a recurring event.
