Create URL structure for Calendar

[Me4ta]

We need to think this through, since we want our URL structure to be adequate from the beginning, current requirements are:

• calendar name should be part of the url
• url should be short
• should state be part of url? (I think only if we need to have similarly named calendars for different states like rcn.io/cal/ca/racing and rcn.io/cal/ny/racing

Possible options:
rcn.io/cal/ncnca/2016 — name-centric, year is secondary
rcn.io/cal/2016/ncnca — year centric
rcn.io/cals/ncnca/2016 — same as above but "cal" is in plural

Current shema:
rcn.io/calendars/{id} (where id starts from cal- but we strip out cal-to make url better looking)

rcn.io/calendars/ncnca-216

So far we are using:

http://rcn.io/calendars/norcal-mtb

so it's calendars/{:id}/

for events it can be:
calendars/ncnca-2016/events/evt-afw23

for events it's rcn.io/events/evt-1234/ since event can be in multiple calendars and for rendering/app performance it's easier not to nest it under calendars/

Calendar can be referenced by short name or id if short name exists it should be treated as canonical URL and we should redirect, so if NCNCA 2016 calendar has internal id of cal-sdf234 then when we access calendars/cal-sdf234 we must redirect to calendars/ncnca-2016

I decided to take simpler approach, just strip out cal- part from id and let calendars have arbitrary ids that would cover nice ones like ncnca-2016 and any random ones like aff323

Todo:

• figure out how to represent years, e.g. calendars/ncnca-2016/ is hardcoded into url, so year is part of the calendar itself
• figure out how to represent "always up to date calendars" e.g. NCNCA calendar for each year should be accessible via calendars/ncnca and calendars/ncnca-2016/ or calendars/ncnca?year=2016 or else
  • it's probably not a good idea, it only helps to have one link to "current" calendar, but somebody will still have to update it or write code to point to "current year's calendar", imo not worth the trouble
