Feature request: Include attendees in event output #5

Feature Request

When listing events via ekctl list events, it would be very useful to include attendee information in the JSON output.

Current output

Events currently include: id, title, startDate, endDate, allDay, location, notes, calendar, hasAlarms, hasRecurrenceRules.

Requested addition

Add an attendees array to each event, leveraging EKEvent.attendees from EventKit:

{
  "title": "Team Meeting",
  "attendees": [
    {
      "name": "Jane Doe",
      "email": "jane@example.com",
      "status": "accepted"
    }
  ],
  ...
}

Use case

Attendee data is valuable for any automation built on top of ekctl — e.g. generating meeting summaries, syncing with external systems, or enriching calendar data with participant context. Currently there's no way to programmatically access who was invited to an event.

EventKit reference

EKEvent.attendees returns [EKParticipant]? with properties:

  • name: String?
  • url: URL (contains mailto:)
  • participantStatus: EKParticipantStatus (accepted, declined, tentative, etc.)
  • participantRole: EKParticipantRole (required, optional, chair, etc.)

Thank you for this great tool!
