Contacts_API.md

Calendar plugin for Cordova already exist. It support iOS and Android platforms and could be easily extended to support both WP8 and Windows 8

Plugin's API

  • listCalendars/createCalendar/deleteCalendar
  • getCalendarOptions/getCreateCalendarOptions
  • createEvent/createEventWithOptions/createEventInteractively/createEventInNamedCalendar
  • modifyEvent/modifyEventInNamedCalendar
  • deleteEvent/deleteEventFromNamedCalendar
  • findEvent/findAllEventsInNamedCalendar
  • listEventsInRange

Windows API

Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments classes from Windows store API provides almost the same functionality.

Also Windows API has another methods' names, e.g.:

  • DeleteAppointmentAsync instead of deleteEvent
  • ShowEditNewAppointmentAsync instead of createEventInteractively

etc.

Windows/WP API issues

  • WP8: read-only access to calendar and appointment data (http://goo.gl/RFYruF)
  • WP 8.1: read/write access to calendar and appointment data. Almost full Calendar plugin API support
  • Windows8: no api available (api exists starting from 8.1)
  • Windows8.1: appointments only (no managing calendars support) in interactive mode (plugin will show Calendar App popup with appointment details and Add/Save/Delete button)

ETA

Raw ETA for implementing calendar API ~ 1-1.5 week
