NAME

Data::ICal::Entry::Event − Represents an event in an iCalendar file

SYNOPSIS

my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event−>new();
$vevent−>add_properties(
summary => "my party",
description => "I'll cry if I want to",
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
dtstart => Date::ICal−>new( epoch => time )−>ical,
);
$calendar−>add_entry($vevent);
$vevent−>add_entry($alarm);

DESCRIPTION

A Data::ICal::Entry::Event object represents a single event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

METHODS

ical_entry_type

Returns "VEVENT", its iCalendar entry name.

mandatory_unique_properties

The "uid" property is mandatory if "rfc_strict" was passed to "new" in Data::ICal.

optional_unique_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified at most one time for an event:

class created description dtstart geo
last−modified location organizer priority
dtstamp sequence status summary transp
uid url recurrence−id

In addition, "dtend" and "duration" may be specified at most once each, but not both in the same entry (though this restriction is not enforced).

Or if "vcal10 => 1":

class dcreated completed description dtstart dtend
last−modified location rnum priority
sequence status summary transp
url uid

optional_repeatable_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified any number of times for an event:

attach attendee categories comment
contact exdate exrule request−status related−to
resources rdate rrule

Or if "vcal10 => 1":

aalarm attach attendee categories
dalarm exdate exrule malarm palarm related−to
resources rdate rrule

SEE ALSO

Data::ICal::DateTime

For date parsing and formatting, including denoting "all day" events, considering using this module. Because it’s a "mix in", you can still use all the methods here as well as the new date handling methods it defines.
