icalendar_parser #

Package to parse iCalendar (.ics) files written in pure Dart.

Implementation of AnyFetch's ics-parser in JavaScript.

Getting Started #

Add icalendar_parser to your pubspec.yaml:

icalendar_parser: any

How to use #

You can refer to the example/ folder for a complete example implemented in Flutter.

Constructor #

ICalendar.fromString #

import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
import 'package:icalendar_parser/icalendar_parser.dart';

final icsString = await rootBundle.loadString('assets/your_file.ics');
final iCalendar = ICalendar.fromString(icsString);

ICalendar.fromLines #

final icsLines = await File('your_file.ics').readAsLines();
final iCalendar = ICalendar.fromLines(lines);

Other methods #

ICalendar.registerField #

With this method you can add fields that are not already supported (check Supported Properties) to the parsing and you can specify a custom function to parse its content :

ICalendar.registerField(field: 'TEST');

ICalendar.registerField(
    field: 'TEST2',
    function: (value, params, event, lastEvent) {
        lastEvent['test2'] = 'test';
        return lastEvent;
    },
);

ICalendar.unregisterField #

With this method you can remove parsed fields to ignore them in your file :

ICalendar.unregisterField('TEST');

ICalendar.toJson #

Convert [ICalendar] object to a Map<String, dynamic> containing all its data, formatted into a valid JSON Map<String, dynamic> .

final icsObj = ICalendar.fromLines(File('assets/my_file.ics').readAsLinesSync());
print(jsonEncode(icsObj.toJson()));
