NAME

Net::CalDAVTalk - Module to talk CalDAV and give a JSON interface to the data

VERSION

Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

This module is the initial release of the code used at FastMail for talking to CalDAV servers. It's quite specific to an early version of our API, so while it might be useful to others, it's being pushed to CPAN more because the Cassandane test suite needs it.

See Net::DAVTalk for details on how to specify hosts and paths.

my $CalDAV = Net::CalDAVTalk->new(
    user => $service->user(),
    password => $service->pass(),
    host => $service->host(),
    port => $service->port(),
    scheme => 'http',
    url => '/',
    expandurl => 1,
);

or using DNS:

my $domain = $user;
$domain =~ s/.*\@//;

my $url;
my ($reply) = $Resolver->search("_caldavs._tcp.$domain", "srv");
if ($reply) {
  my @d = $reply->answer;
  if (@d) {
    my $host = $d[0]->target();
    my $port = $d[0]->port();
    $url = "https://$host";
    $url .= ":$port" unless $port eq 443;
  }
}

This will use the '/.well-known/caldav' address to find the actual current user principal, and from there the calendar-home-set for further operations.

my $foo = Net::CalDAVTalk->new(
   user => $user,
   password => $password,
   url => $url,
   expandurl => 1,
);

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new(%args)

Takes the same arguments as Net::DAVTalk and adds the caldav namespaces and some Cyrus specific namespaces for all XML requests.

A => 'http://apple.com/ns/ical/'
C => 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav'
CY => 'http://cyrusimap.org/ns/'
UF => 'http://cyrusimap.org/ns/userflag/'
SF => 'http://cyrusimap.org/ns/sysflag/'

$self->tz($name)

Returns a DateTime::TimeZone object for the given name, but caches the result for speed.

$self->logger(sub { })

Sets a function to receive all log messages. Gets called with the first argument being a level name, and then a list of items to log:

e.g.

$CalDAV->logger(sub {
   my $level = shift;
   return if ($level eq 'debug' and not $ENV{DEBUG_CALDAV});
   warn "LOG $level: $_\n" for @_;
});

$self->DeleteCalendar($calendarId)

Delete the named calendar from the server (shorturl - see Net::DAVTalk)

$Cal->DeleteCalendar($calendarId)

Delete the calendar with collection name $calendarId (full or relative path)

e.g.

$Cal->DeleteCalendar('Default');

$self->GetCalendar($calendarId)

Get a single calendar from the server by calendarId (currently implemented very inefficiently as a get of all calendars. Returns undef if the calendar doesn't exist.

e.g my $Calendar = $CalDAV->GetCalendar('Default');

$self->GetCalendars(Properties => [])

Fetch all the calendars on the server. You can request additional properties, but they aren't parsed well yet.

e.g

my $Calendars = $CalDAV->GetCalendars();
foreach my $Cal (@$Calendars) {
   # do stuff
}

$self->NewCalendar($Args)

Create a new calendar. The Args are the as the things returned by GetCalendars, except that if you don't provide 'id' (same as shorturl), then a UUID will be generated for you. It's recommended to not provide 'id' unless you need to create a specific path for compatibility with other things, and to use 'name' to identify the calendar for users. 'name' is stored as DAV:displayname.

e.g.

my $Id = $CalDAV->NewCalendar({name => 'My Calendar', color => 'aqua'});

(Color names will be translated based on the CSS name list)

$self->UpdateCalendar($Args)

Like 'NewCalendar', but updates an existing calendar, and 'id' is required. Returns the id, just like NewCalendar.

$self->DeleteEvent($Event|$href)

Given a single event or the href to the event, delete that event, delete it from the server.

Returns true.

$self->GetEvents($calendarId, %Args)

Fetches some or all of the events in a calendar.

Supported args:

href => [] - perform a multi-get on just these fullpath urls.
after+before => ISO8601 - date range to query

In scalar context returns an arrayref of events. In list context returns both an arrayref of events and an arrayref of errors:

e.g.

my ($Events, $Errors) = $CalDAV->GetEvents('Default');

$self->GetEvent($href)

Just get a single event (calls GetEvents with that href)

$self->GetFreeBusy($calendarId, %Args)

Like 'GetEvents' but uses a free-busy-query and then generates synthetic events out of the result.

Doesn't have a 'href' parameter, just the before/after range.

$self->SyncEvents($calendarId, %Args)

Like GetEvents, but if you pass a syncToken argument, then it will fetch changes since that token (obtained from an earlier GetCalendars call).

In scalar context still just returns new events, in list context returns Events, Removed and Errors.

e.g.

my ($Events, $Removed, $Errors) = $CalDAV->SyncEvents('Default', syncToken => '...');

$self->NewEvent($calendarId, $Args)

Create a new event in the named calendar. If you don't specify 'uid' then a UUID will be created. You should only specify the UID if you need to for syncing purposes - it's better to auto-generate otherwise.

Returns the href, but also updates 'uid' in $Args.

Also updates 'sequence'.

e.g.

my $href = $CalDAV->NewEvent('Default', $Args);
my $newuid = $Args->{uid};

$self->UpdateEvent($href, $Args)

Like NewEvent, but you only need to specify keys that you want to change, and it takes the full href to the card instead of the containing calendar.

$self->AnnotateEvent($href, $Args)

Instead of actually changing an event itself, use proppatch to add or remove properties on the event.

$self->MoveEvent($href, $newCalendarId)

Move an event into a new calendar. Returns the new href.

$self->vcalendarToEvents($Data)

Convert a text vcalendar (either a single event or an entire ical file) into an array of events.

Returns an array (not arrayref) of Events in UID order.

e.g.

foreach my $Event ($CalDAV->vcalendarToEvents($Data)) {
    # ...
}

$self->UpdateAddressSet($DisplayName, $EmailAddress)

Set the address set and display name for the calendar user (if supported)

$self->GetICal($calendarId, $isFreeBusy)

Given a calender, fetch all the events and generate an ical format file suitable for import into a client.
