• Recurrence rules (RRULE)
• Exclusion dates (EXDATE)

const FullICS = require("full-ics");

const icsString = FullICS.createEvent(calendarObject, "sync");
// or using a callback
FullICS.createEvent(calendarObject, (error, icsString) => {
  if (error) console.error(error);
  console.log(icsString);
});

parseEvent(icsString, callback)

• Participants/Attendees (ATTENDEE)
• Recurrence rules (RRULE)
• Exclusion dates (EXDATE)

const parsedCalendar = FullICS.parseEvent(icsString, "sync");
// or using a callback
FullICS.parseEvent(icsString, (error, calendar) => {
  if (error) console.error(error);
  console.log(calendar);
});

createFreeBusy(freebusyObject, callback)

Generate a valid ICS string containing freebusy availability.

const freebusyString = FullICS.createFreeBusy(freebusyObject, "sync");
