We could schedule this in a few different ways, but essentially it would be a single API hit to https://devedmonton.com/api/import_events which I think it just the easiest overall. I know that |

@arashsheyda and @MandyMeindersma I figured out comment #441 (comment) based on not being able to import this calendar from the development preview. Once we merge this in it should be good. |

can we move the shared functions, constants and etc. to server/utils/?

Yeah that makes sense I'll make this a bit more organized, I think server/utils is a great choice :)

I only put the google calendar into its' own utils file here.
I can put the ical functions into its' own file if preferred but this will be the only place that uses them.
The Nitro plug cron job will only hit this URL and then move on.

@dgmouris Nuxt supports cron jobs internally, maybe we can use that https://nitro.build/guide/tasks |
I'll take a look at that shortly so maybe we can ship this with both. |
@arashsheyda IMO the better option is to do a scheduled function, but let's move that to another PR if you don't mind. Until add it I could just hit the API once a day, I think there's already a ton in here, and it would add a lot of value for my own selfish purposes of not having to import events manually. Let me know what you think, sorry for the essay. |
|
@dgmouris Ahhh I see, thanks for investigating this! haha that sounds good! |
|
On another note it seems like scheduled functions are also in beta. I'll probably make a separate pr for that as again not sure if it'll work as intended. |
What issue is this referencing?
Essentially importing events has been a bit of pain into this calendar (which was to be expected).
This essentially looks at a variety of ical links and downloads them and uploads them to the gmail calendar.
I like this solution because we can continue to add events directly to the gmail in addition to these ical sources, for example hacked and any eventbrite links read democamp but reduces a lot of logistics in updating the calendar.
#394 Improving the calendar.
#366 (kind of because we might not need it)
Functionality demonstrated in a gif below (it's a little big so I shared it from my drive).
You'll have to download it
I'd like to add this to a cron job so it imports every night, I think we can do this fairly easily with nuxt-cron
