iCal4j Templates

iCalendar templates for common use-cases

Overview

iCal4j Templates is designed to make the iCalendar specifications more accessible by providing a discoverable API for common applications. For example, a simple meeting or task may not require the full functionality provided by iCalendar, but you still need to understand it in order to produce valid content.

This library aims to make it easier to construct valid iCalendar content without needing to read the specifications in full.

Templates includes in this library are used to create or modify iCalendar objects.

    .required(URI.create("mailto:joe@example.com")).required(URI.create("mailto:sally@example.com"))
    .optional(URI.create("mailto:fred@example.com"))
