README

Forked from Spatie

Using this package you can generate links to add events to calendar systems. Here's a quick example:

(new Link(
   'Birthday',
   DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', '2018-02-01 09:00'),
   DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', '2018-02-01 18:00')
))->google();

This will output: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=Birthday&dates=20180201T090000/20180201T180000&sprop=&sprop=name:

If you follow that link (and are authenticated with Google) you'll see a screen to add the event to your calendar.

The package can also generate ics files that you can open in several email and calendar programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require labomatik/calendar-links

Usage

<?php
use Labomatik\CalendarLinks\Link;

$from = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', '2018-02-01 09:00');

$link = Link::create('Sebastian\'s birthday', $from, $to)
    ->description('Cookies & cocktails!')
    ->address('rue de fer 125, 5380 Namur')
    ->attendee(['john@doe.com','silver@bullet.com'])
    ->organizer(['name'=>'Christophe', 'email'=>'christophe@labo.com'])
    ->eventUrl('http://my.domain.com/eventID')    
    ->method('REQUEST');
