    $provider = $this->get('bomo_ical.ics_provider');

    $tz = $provider->createTimezone();
    $tz
        ->setTzid('Europe/Paris')
        ->setXProp('X-LIC-LOCATION', $tz->getTzid())
        ;

    $cal = $provider->createCalendar($tz);

    $cal
        ->setName('My cal1')
        ->setDescription('Foo')
        ;

    $datetime = new \Datetime('now');
    $event = $cal->newEvent();
    $event

        ;

    $alarm = $event->newAlarm();
    $alarm
        ->setAction('DISPLAY')
        ->setDescription($event->getDescription())
        ->setTrigger('-PT2H') //See Dateinterval string format
        ;

    // All Day event

Actual state

This bundle is in stable state with release 1.0;

Installation

Add BOMOIcalBundle in your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "bomo/ical-bundle": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the step:

$ php composer.phar update bomo/ical-bundle

AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    ...
    new BOMO\IcalBundle\BOMOIcalBundle(),
);

User's Guide

All objects can be managed regardless by the provider. But the object need to be attached.

Event attached to Calendar

Alarm attached to Event

To simplify the use, the objects are a proxy method to create a child feature.

$alarm = $event->newAlarm();
$alarm
    ->set[...]
    [...]
    ;

Is stricly same that

$alarm = $provider->createAlarm();
$alarm
    ->set[...]
    [...]
    ;
$event->attachAlarm($alarm);

Outlook compatibility

Outlook does not support the parameter "x-wr-timezone". To prevent adding it to the ics, the createCalendar has a new parameter for defining whether or not to include a Timezone in the ics.

$ical = $cal = $this->provider->createCalendar(null, true);
