NAME¶
RDF::iCalendar::Exporter - export RDF data to iCalendar format
SYNOPSIS¶
use RDF::iCalendar;
my $input = "http://example.com/calendar-data.ics";
my $exporter = RDF::iCalendar::Exporter->new;
print $_ foreach $exporter->export_calendars($input);
DESCRIPTION¶
This module reads RDF and writes iCalendar files.
This is a subclass of RDF::vCard::Exporter, so it can also export vCards.
Constructor¶
- •
- "new(%options)"
Returns a new RDF::iCalendar::Exporter object.
There are no valid options at the moment - the hash is reserved for future
use.
Methods¶
- •
- "export_calendars($input, %options)"
Returns a list of iCalendars found in the input, in no particular order.
The input may be a URI, file name, RDF::Trine::Model or anything else that
can be handled by the "rdf_parse" method of RDF::TrineShortcuts.
Each item in the list returned is an RDF::iCalendar::Entity, though that
class overloads stringification, so you can just treat each item as a
string mostly.
- •
- "export_calendar($input, $subject, %options)"
As per "export_calendars" but exports just a single calendar.
The subject provided must be an RDF::Trine::Node::Blank or
RDF::Trine::Node::Resource of type icaltzd:Vcalendar.
- •
- "export_component($input, $subject, %options)"
Exports a component from a calendar - e.g. a single VEVENT
The subject provided must be an RDF::Trine::Node::Blank or
RDF::Trine::Node::Resource of type icaltzd:Vevent, icaltzd:Vtodo or
similar.
- •
- "export_cards($input, %options)"
See RDF::vCard::Exporter.
- •
- "export_card($input, $subject, %options)"
See RDF::vCard::Exporter.
Input is expected to use the newer of the 2005 revision of the W3C's vCard
vocabulary <
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfcal/>. (Note that even though this
was revised in 2005, the term URIs include "2002" in them.)
Some extensions from the namespace <
http://buzzword.org.uk/rdf/icaltzdx#>
are also supported.
iCalendar Output¶
The output of this module aims at iCalendar (RFC 2445) compliance. In the face
of weird input data though, (e.g. an DTSTART property that is a URI instead of
a literal) it can pretty easily descend into exporting junk, non-compliant
iCalendars.
The output has barely been tested in any iCalendar-supporting software, so
beware.
