(Formerly node-ical)
A tolerant, minimal icalendar parser for javascript/node (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545)
ical.js is availble on npm:
npm install ical
ical.parseICS(str)
Parses a string with an ICS File
var data = ical.parseFile(filename)
Reads in the specified iCal file, parses it and returns the parsed data
ical.fromURL(url, options, function(err, data) {} )
Use the request library to fetch the specified URL (opts gets passed on to the request() call), and call the function with the result (either an error or the data).
var ical = require('ical')
, months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
ical.fromURL('https://lanyrd.com/topics/nodejs/nodejs.ics', {}, function(err, data) {
for (var k in data){
if (data.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
var ev = data[k]
console.log("Conference",
ev.summary,
'is in',
ev.location,
'on the', ev.start.getDate(), 'of', months[ev.start.getMonth()]);
}
}
});
