Google Calendar Full-Year View

Chrome Extension adding a custom full-year view to Google Calendar.

Design Philosophy

This extension implements a Swiss International Style design system based on the principles of Josef Müller-Brockmann and Karl Gerstner. The visual design uses mathematical hierarchy and objective clarity to communicate data states.

See DESIGN.md for complete design documentation, including:

• Visual element explanations (blue squares, black baseline strokes)
• Swiss design principles applied
• Color system and typographic hierarchy
• Grid system structure

Implementation Status

✅ All 7 phases implemented:

• Phase 1: Project Setup & Manifest Configuration
• Phase 2: OAuth 2.0 Authentication Setup
• Phase 3: View Injection System
• Phase 4: Full-Year View Layout
• Phase 5: Google Calendar API Integration
• Phase 6: Event Display & Rendering
• Phase 7: Basic Interactions

✅ Multi-Day Events Feature Complete (2026-01-08):

• Full CRUD functionality for multi-day events
• Dedicated "full-year-view" calendar with automatic creation
• Date range selection (desktop and mobile)
• Event creation/editing modal with validation
• 5-event maximum limit enforcement
• Multi-color event bars with vertical stacking
• Single-day events from all calendars shown as blue dots

Development Setup

Prerequisites

1. Install dependencies (for testing):

   npm install

2. Create icon files (required for extension to load):

   • Create assets/icons/icon-16.png (16x16 pixels)
   • Create assets/icons/icon-48.png (48x48 pixels)
   • Create assets/icons/icon-128.png (128x128 pixels)

   Or use placeholder icons temporarily.

3. Configure OAuth (required for API access):

   • Create Google Cloud Console project
   • Enable Google Calendar API
   • Configure OAuth consent screen
   • Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Chrome Extension type)
   • Add Client ID to manifest.json (replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID)

Load Extension

1. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top right)
3. Click "Load unpacked"
4. Select the project directory (google-calendar-plugin/)

Testing

npm test              # Run all tests
npm run test:watch    # Watch mode
npm run test:coverage # Coverage report

Note: If tests fail with "jest-environment-jsdom cannot be found", install it:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps jest-environment-jsdom

Technical Notes

• No build step required: Code uses vanilla JavaScript with global module pattern
• ES6 modules converted: All imports/exports converted to work in Chrome Extension context
• Date utilities: Custom implementations replace date-fns for browser compatibility
• Module loading: All scripts loaded via manifest.json in dependency order

Troubleshooting

npm Permission Errors

If you get EPERM errors when running npm install:

# Remove macOS extended attributes
sudo xattr -cr ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.20.8/
npm install --legacy-peer-deps

See FIX_NPM_NOW.md for detailed solutions.

Dependency Conflicts

If you get ERESOLVE errors:

# Use legacy peer deps (already configured in .npmrc)
npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Test Environment Issues

If tests fail with "Cannot find module '@jest/test-sequencer'":

# Remove macOS extended attributes blocking node_modules
sudo xattr -cr node_modules/
npm test

If tests fail with missing jest-environment-jsdom:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps jest-environment-jsdom

See FIX_JEST_NOW.md and FIX_TESTS.md for more details.

Creating Icons

Use the provided icon generator:

1. Open generate-icons.html in your browser
2. Click "Generate Icons" or "Download All Icons"
3. Save icons to assets/icons/ directory:
   • icon-16.png
   • icon-48.png
   • icon-128.png
