##Description

GCal4Ruby has three major components: the service, calendar and event objects. Each service has many calendars, which in turn have many events. Each service is the representation of a google account, and thus must be successfully authenticated using valid Google Calendar account credentials.

##Examples

Below are some common usage examples. For more examples, check the documentation.

###Service

  1. Authenticate

     service = Service.new
     service.authenticate("user@gmail.com", "password")
    
  2. Get Calendar List

     calendars = service.calendars
    

###Calendar

All usages assume a successfully authenticated Service.

  1. Create a new Calendar

     cal = Calendar.new(service)
    
  2. Find a calendar by ID

     cal = Calendar.find(service, {:id => cal_id})
    
  3. Get all calendar events

     cal = Calendar.find(service, {:id => cal_id})
     events = cal.events
    
  4. Find an existing calendar by title

     cal = Calendar.find(service, {:title => "New Calendar"})
    
  5. Find all calendars containing a search term

     cal = Calendar.find(service, "Soccer Team")
    

###Event

All usages assume a successfully authenticated Service and valid Calendar.

  1. Create a new Event

     event = Event.new(service, {:calendar => cal, :title => "Soccer Game", :start => Time.parse("12-06-2009 at 12:30 PM"), :end > Time.parse("12-06-2009 at 1:30 PM"), :where => "Merry Playfields"})
     event.save
    
  2. Find an existing Event by title

     event = Event.find(service, {:title => "Soccer Game"})
    
  3. Find an existing Event by ID

     event = Event.find(service, {:id => event.id})
    
  4. Find all events containing the search term

     event = Event.find(service, "Soccer Game")
    
  5. Find all events on a calendar containing the search term

     event = Event.find(service, "Soccer Game", {:calendar => cal.id})
    
  6. Find events within a date range

     event = Event.find(service, "Soccer Game", {'start-min' => Time.parse("01/01/2010").utc.xmlschema, 'start-max' => Time.parse("06/01/2010").utc.xmlschema})
    
  7. Create a recurring event for every saturday

     event = Event.new(service)
     event.title = "Baseball Game"
     event.calendar = cal
     event.where = "Municipal Stadium"
     event.recurrence = Recurrence.new
     event.recurrence.start_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 4:30 PM")
     event.recurrence.end_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 6:30 PM")
     event.recurrence.frequency = {"weekly" => ["SA"]}
     event.save 
    
  8. Create an event with a 15 minute email reminder

     event = Event.new(service)
     event.calendar = cal
     event.title = "Dinner with Kate"
     event.start_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 5 pm")
     event.end_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 8 pm")
     event.where = "Luigi's"
     event.reminder = {:minutes => 15, :method => 'email'}
     event.save
    
  9. Create an event with attendees

     event = Event.new(service)
     event.calendar = cal
     event.title = "Dinner with Kate"
     event.start_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 5 pm")
     event.end_time = Time.parse("06/20/2009 at 8 pm")
     event.attendees => {:name => "Kate", :email => "kate@gmail.com"}
     event.save
