  • dtend: (Date string) Event end time. Defaults to one hour from dtstart.
  • description: (String) Description (details) of the event.

  • location: (String) Location of the event.

    • name: (String)
    • email: (String)
  • attendees: (Object)
    • name: (String)
    • email: (String)
    • rsvp: (Boolean) Defaults to false.

Example:

var ical = require('ics');
 
var options = {
  eventName: 'Fingerpainting lessons',
  filename: 'event.ics',
  dtstart: 'Sat Nov 02 2014 13:15:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)',
  location: 'Here and there',
  email: {
    name: 'Bob',
    email: 'Bob@Jamaica.com'
  }
};
 
ical.createEvent(options, null, function(err, success) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
 
  console.log(success); // returns filepath
});

The above snippet creates a file named event.ics, saves it to the operating system's temporary directory, and returns the filepath.

The event.ics file should look something like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20150701T170000Z
ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:john.doe@example.com
DTSTART:20150714T170000Z
DTEND:20150715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Fingerpainting lessons
URL:http://google.com
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
