如何在 React Native 应用程序中创建和管理 icalendar VEvent

Question

I'm developing a react native application where users can post an event specifying day, time and recurrence (weekly, daily etc...). Once these parameters have been set by the user I need to generate an ical VEvent object to send to my backend. The backend returns these events in VEvent objects format. In communication with the backend, the VEvent are wrapped in a JSON.

My question is: is there a javascript library that allows me to create, decode and manage VEvents in iCalendar format?

Answer 1

There are some, all you need to do is look for them on npm.js .

Unfortunately most of them have been abandoned or don't provide parsing both ways (JSON->iCal, iCal -> JSON).

Few examples:

ics , that goes from JSON -> iCal

ical-generator , again JSON -> iCal

ical2json , JSON -> iCal

I've been working on package of my own, to fill this void and do parsing both ways, called ikalendar . However I'm not trying to use this as a plug as it is still not a 1.0 version and is still in works, therefore I would not recommend it for production use yet.
