A JavaScript to get events in this month from Google calendar.

Background

I use Google calendar for managing my schedule. But there is no approach to getting all events in text format. So I wrote this for obtaining events from Google Calendar.

How to use

1. open Google Calendar within chrome.
2. press F12 to open dev tool.
3. click console tab.
4. copy and paste this code below.

var list = document.querySelectorAll('div[role="gridcell"]');

const BEGIN_NO_EVS_EN = 'No events';
const BEGIN_NO_EVS_ZH = '没有活动';
console.log(list.length);
list.forEach(function(item, index) {

    if (!item.innerText.startsWith(BEGIN_NO_EVS_EN) && !item.innerText.startsWith(BEGIN_NO_EVS_ZH)) {
        let arr =  item.innerText.split('\n');
        if(arr.length>=3){
            arr.forEach(function(itemOfArr, indexOfArr) {
                let eventInfo = itemOfArr.split(', ')
                if(indexOfArr>=2 && eventInfo.length>2){
                    console.log(eventInfo[4] + '  ' +eventInfo[1]);
                }
            });
        }
    
    }
});

And then all events will show on chrome.

In addition

I must tell you that this script only supports English and Chinese set in your Google Calendar. Searching HTML doms is the way I use it. So this script may not work well in the future.
