🗓 Google Calendar API wrapper

A super simpel wrapper for google calendar with only googleapis as a dependency. List and create events, nothing more. Setup can become a bit tricky. You need to get the credentials file from google developers console, and add them to a service account. Once you have done that make sure your serivce account is added to the google calendar if he is not in the same organization you have to edit the settings in admin.google/com/yourdomain and go to calendar sharing.

npm install googleapis-calendar --save

or

yarn add googleapis-calendar 

Example config:

module.exports = {
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----gW+KA==\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "[email protected]",
  "calendarId": "[email protected]"
}

The only thing you have to look out for is the date and dateTime inside of the event object. Date is used if you want to create an event that is the whole day. Datetime is what can be used if you want to make an event from x hours till y hours. All the other functions are self explanatory.

const Calendar = require('./index')

const config = require('./config')

const calendar = new Calendar(config.calendarId)

calendar.authorize(config)

calendar.getCalendar()
    .then(cal => {
        // calendar details
    })

calendar.getEvents('startTime', 20)
    .then(events => {
        // all events
    })

const allDayEvent = {
    summary: 'Awesome party',
    description: 'some description',
    start: {
        "date": '2018-04-21',
        "timeZone": 'Europe/Amsterdam'
    },
    end: {
        "date": '2018-04-21',
        "timeZone": 'Europe/Amsterdam'
    }
}

const fixedTimeEvent = {
    summary: 'Meeting about having more meetings', // 
    description: 'some description',
    start: {
        "dateTime": '2018-04-21T12:30:47.000Z',
        "timeZone": 'Europe/Amsterdam'
    },
    end: {
        "dateTime": '2018-04-21T14:30:47.000Z',
        "timeZone": 'Europe/Amsterdam'
    }
}

calendar.createEvent(fixedTimeEvent)
    .then(event => {
        // do something with the event
    })
