Usage

TODO: add more functionality.

CalendarEvent

CalendarEvent class is intended to use RRule with calendar events. Basically an event is represented by start, end and RRule. Let's see an example event.

import { RRule } from 'rrule'
import { CalendarEvent } from 'rrule-contrib'

const event = new CalendarEvent({
  start: {
    hour: 10,
    minute: 0,
  },
  end: {
    hour: 13,
    minute: 30,
  },
  recurrences: [
    new RRule({
      freq: RRule.DAILY,
      byweekday: [RRule.MO, RRule.FR],
    }),
    new RRule({
      freq: RRule.MONTHLY,
      bymonthday: 25,
    }),
  ],
})

You can get event occurences with occurences method.

event.occurences({
  between: [new Date('2020-10-01T00:00:00Z'), new Date('2020-12-31T00:00:00Z')],
})

It will return the following array:

[
  [new Date('2020-10-16T10:00:00Z'), new Date('2020-10-16T13:30:00Z')],
  [new Date('2020-11-20T10:00:00Z'), new Date('2020-11-20T13:30:00Z')],
  [new Date('2020-12-18T10:00:00Z'), new Date('2020-12-18T13:30:00Z')],
],

You can also get event text as natural language (currently only in English) text.

event.toText()
// => 10:00 AM to 13:30 AM every day on Monday, Friday and every month on the 25th

Time zone support

The most powerful feature of CalendarEvent is strong time zone support. We, Remotehour, provides our service globally so this feature has been developed. In the above example, you can pass a tz option to toText method.

event.toText({ tz: 'Asia/Tokyo' })
// => 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM every day on Monday, Friday and every month on the 25th

event.toText({ tz: 'Pacific/Pago_Pago' })
// => 11:00 PM to the next day of 2:30 AM every day on Sunday, Thursday and every month on the 24th
