minicaldav

Small and easy CalDAV client.

minicaldav is a caldav client and basic ical parser with as little dependencies as possible (but practical).

Project scope:

• Simple: Few dependencies, no async, the code is simple
• Correct: CalDAV and ICAL are implemented correctly
• Tested: CalDAV works with Events, and is tested with multiple common services
• Easy to use: Good documentation and intuitive API

Project status

• minicaldav is neither correct nor sufficient tested at this point
  • Tested only with one caldav server
• minicaldav is kind of activley maintained as part of https://gitlab.com/floers/karlender
• minicaldav is used in a public app: https://gitlab.com/floers/karlender

Quick Start

use url::Url;
use ureq::Agent;
pub fn main() {
    let agent = Agent::new();
    let url = Url::parse("http://mycaldav.com/").unwrap();
    let username = "foo";
    let password = "s3cret!";
    let calendars = minicaldav::get_calendars(agent.clone(), username, password, &url).unwrap();
    for calendar in calendars {
        println!("{:?}", calendar);
        let (events, errors) = minicaldav::get_events(agent.clone(), username, password, &calendar).unwrap();
        for event in events {
            println!("{:?}", event);
        }
        for error in errors {
            println!("Error: {:?}", error);
        }
    }
}

Features

minicaldav can either provide a ready-to-use caldav client by using all features or provide only parts.

The bare minimum is just the ical types and parser:

minicaldav = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = [ "ical" ] }

If you want to have a caldav client:

minicaldav = { version = "*" }

If you do need serde:

minicaldav = { version = "*", features = [ "serde" ] }

If you want to compile a basic CLI:

cargo build --bin minicaldav-cli --features cli
