Example Usage

Create an iCalendar event:

const ics = require('ics')
 
const event = {
  start: [2018, 5, 30, 6, 30],
  duration: { hours: 6, minutes: 30 },
  title: 'Bolder Boulder',

  ]
}
 
ics.createEvent(event, (error, value) => {

Write an iCalendar file:

const { writeFileSync } = require('fs')
const ics = require('ics')
 
ics.createEvent({
  title: 'Dinner',
  description: 'Nightly thing I do',

}, (error, value) => {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error)
  }
 
  writeFileSync(`${__dirname}/event.ics`, value)
})

Create multiple iCalendar events:

const ics = require('./dist')
 
const { error, value } = ics.createEvents([
  {
    title: 'Lunch',
    start: [2018, 1, 15, 12, 15],
    duration: { minutes: 45 }
  },

    title: 'Dinner',
    start: [2018, 1, 15, 12, 15],
    duration: { hours: 1, minutes: 30 }
  }
])
 
if (error) {
  console.log(error)
  return
}
 
console.log(value)

Create iCalendar events with Audio (Mac):

let ics = require("ics")
let moment = require("moment")
let events = []
let alarms = []
 
let start = moment().format('YYYY-M-D-H-m').split("-")

alarms.push({
  action: 'audio',
  trigger: {hours:2,minutes:30,before:true},
  repeat: 2,
  attachType:'VALUE=URI',
  attach: 'Glass'

  uid: "123"+"@ics.com",
  startOutputType:"local",
  start: start,

API

`createEvent(attributes[, callback])`

Generates an iCal-compliant VCALENDAR string with one VEVENT. If a callback is not provided, returns an object having the form { error, value }, where value contains an iCal-compliant string if there are no errors. If a callback is provided, returns a Node-style callback.

`attributes`

Object literal containing event information. Only the start property is required. The following properties are accepted:

Property	Description	Example
start	Required. Date and time at which the event begins.	`[2000, 1, 5, 10, 0]` (January 5, 2000)
startInputType	Type of the date/time data in `start`: `local` (default): passed data is in local time. `utc`: passed data is UTC
startOutputType	Format of the start date/time in the output: `utc` (default): the start date will be sent in UTC format. `local`: the start date will be sent as "floating" (form #1 in RFC 5545)
end	Time at which event ends. Either `end` or `duration` is required, but not both.	`[2000, 1, 5, 13, 5]` (January 5, 2000 at 1pm)
endInputType	Type of the date/time data in `end`: `local`: passed data is in local time. `utc`: passed data is UTC. The default is the value of `startInputType`
endOutputType	Format of the start date/time in the output: `utc`: the start date will be sent in UTC format. `local`: the start date will be sent as "floating" (form #1 in RFC 5545). The default is the value of `startOutputType`
duration	How long the event lasts. Object literal having form `{ weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds }` Either `end` or `duration` is required, but not both.	`{ hours: 1, minutes: 45 }` (1 hour and 45 minutes)
title	Title of event.	`'Code review'`
description	Description of event.	`'A constructive roasting of those seeking to merge into master branch'`
location	Intended venue	`Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery`
geo	Geographic coordinates (lat/lon)	`{ lat: 38.9072, lon: 77.0369 }`
url	URL associated with event	`'http://www.mountainsunpub.com/'`
status	Three statuses are allowed: `TENTATIVE`, `CONFIRMED`, `CANCELLED`	`CONFIRMED`
organizer	Person organizing the event	`{ name: 'Adam Gibbons', email: 'adam@example.com', dir: 'https://linkedin.com/in/adamgibbons' }`
attendees	Persons invited to the event	`[{ name: 'Mo', email: 'mo@foo.com', rsvp: true }, { name: 'Bo', email: 'bo@bar.biz', dir: 'https://twitter.com/bo1234', partstat: 'ACCEPTED', role: 'REQ-PARTICIPANT' }]`
categories	Categories associated with the event	`['hacknight', 'stout month']`
alarms	Alerts that can be set to trigger before, during, or after the event. The following `attach` properties work on Mac OS: Basso, Blow, Bottle, Frog, Funk, Glass, Hero, Morse, Ping, Pop, Purr, Sousumi, Submarine, Tink	`{ action: 'display', trigger: [2000, 1, 4, 18, 30] }` OR `{ action: 'display', trigger: { hours: 2, minutes: 30, before: true }` OR `{ action: 'display', trigger: { hours: 2, minutes: 30, before: false }` OR `{ action: 'audio', trigger: { hours: 2, minutes: 30, before: true }, repeat: 2, attachType: 'VALUE=URI', attach: 'Glass' }`
productId	Product which created ics, `PRODID` field	`'adamgibbons/ics'`
uid	Universal unique id for event, produced by default with `uuid/v1`. Warning: This value must be globally unique. It is recommended that it follow the RFC 822 addr-spec (i.e. `localpart@domain`). Including the `@domain` half is a good way to ensure uniqueness.	`'28021620-be61-11e7-be87-5f3ab42f0785'`
method	This property defines the iCalendar object method associated with the calendar object. When used in a MIME message entity, the value of this property MUST be the same as the Content-Type "method" parameter value. If either the "METHOD" property or the Content-Type "method" parameter is specified, then the other MUST also be specified.	`PUBLISH`
recurrenceRule	A recurrence rule, commonly referred to as an RRULE, defines the repeat pattern or rule for to-dos, journal entries and events. If specified, RRULE can be used to compute the recurrence set (the complete set of recurrence instances in a calendar component). You can use a generator like this one	`FREQ=DAILY`
sequence	For sending an update for an event (with the same uid), defines the revision sequence number.	`2`
busyStatus	Used to specify busy status for Microsoft applications, like Outlook. See Microsoft spec.	`'BUSY'` OR `'FREE'` OR `'TENTATIVE`' OR `'OOF'`
created	Date-time representing event's creation date. Provide a date-time in UTC	2000, 1, 5, 10, 0
lastModified	Date-time representing date when event was last modified. Provide a date-time in UTC	2000, 1, 5, 10, 0
calName	Specifies the calendar (not event) name. Used by Apple iCal and Microsoft Outlook; see Open Specification	`'Example Calendar'`

To create an all-day event, pass only three values (year, month, and date) to the start and end properties. The date of the end property should be the day after your all-day event. For example, in order to create an all-day event occuring on October 15, 2018:

const eventAttributes = {
  start: [2018, 10, 15],
  end: [2018, 10, 16],
  /* rest of attributes */
}

`callback`

Optional. Node-style callback.

function (err, value) {
  if (err) {
    // if iCal generation fails, err is an object containing the reason
    // if iCal generation succeeds, err is null
  }
 
  console.log(value) // iCal-compliant text string
}

`createEvents(events[, callback])`

Generates an iCal-compliant VCALENDAR string with multiple VEVENTS.

If a callback is not provided, returns an object having the form { error, value }, where value is an iCal-compliant text string if error is null.

If a callback is provided, returns a Node-style callback.

`events`

Array of attributes objects (as described in createEvent).

`callback`

Optional. Node-style callback.

function (err, value) {
  if (err) {
    // if iCal generation fails, err is an object containing the reason
    // if iCal generation succeeds, err is null
  }
 
  console.log(value) // iCal-compliant text string
}
