NAME

App::MergeCal

ABSTRACT

Command line program that merges iCal files into a single calendar.

SYNOPSIS

use App::MergeCal;

my $app = App::MergeCal->new;
$app->run;

# Or, more likely, use the mergecal program

METHODS

$app->calendars, $app->title, $app->output

Accessors for fields.

$app->run

Main driver method.

$app->gather

Access all of the calendars and gather their contents into $objects.

$app->render

Take all of the objects in $objects and write them to an output file.

App::MergeCal->new, App::MergeCal->new_from_json, App::MergeCal->new_from_json_file

Constructor methods.

new

Constructs an object from a hash of attribute/value pairs

new_from_json

Constructs an object from a JSON string representing attribute/value pairs.

new_from_json_file

Constructs an object from a file containing a JSON string representing attribute/value pairs.

CONFIGURATION

The behaviour of the program is controlled by a JSON file. The default name for this file is config.json. The contents of the file will look something like this:

{
  "title":"My Combined Calendar",
  "output":"my_calendar.ics",
  "calendars":[
    "https://example.com/some_calendar.ics",
    "https://example.com/some_other_calendar.ics",
  ]
}

This configuration will read the the calendars from the URLs listed and combine their contents into a file called my_calendar.ics (which you will presumably make available on the internet).

The <output> configuration option is optional. If it is omitted, then the output will be written to STDOUT.
