Google Calendar REST API for Laravel 5

Laravel5-Google-Calendar

A simple integration of Laravel 5 (or any PHP) and Google Calendar REST API, _(*1)

Used in the Laravel Bill Reminder app I created: https://github.com/Askedio/BillReminder, _(*2)

Overview

I needed access to Google Calendar and their PHP SDK failed for me on to many levels. I am perfectly happy using REST APIS and decided to go that route., _(*3)

This package needs better authentication checks, error checks and unit testing.

Usage

Declare use statements to access Calendar and CalendarEvent., _(*4)

  use Askedio\Laravel5GoogleCalendar\Calendar;
  use Askedio\Laravel5GoogleCalendar\Events as CalendarEvent;

Event Options

  CalendarEvent::createEvents([]);
  CalendarEvent::readEvents($eventId=false); # false to read all events in time frame
  CalendarEvent::updateEvents($eventId, []);
  CalendarEvent::deleteEvents($eventId);

Calendar Options

  Calendar::createCalendar([]);
  Calendar::readCalendar();
  Calendar::updateCalendar([]);
  Calendar::deleteCalendar();

Class Options

Set the calendar to an empty value when using readCalendar to get a list of calendars., _(*5)

  # Change calendar
  Calendar::setVar('calendar', 'primary');

  # Change start/end time
  Calendar::setVar('start', 'yesterday');
  Calendar::setVar('end', 'today');

Creating & Updating

Creating sends a POST request with the array provided. Updating sents a PATCH request with the array provided., _(*6)

Check the Google Calendar API documentation for the values to be provided. You can also view mine here: https://github.com/Askedio/BillReminder/blob/master/src/app/Helpers/BillReminder.php, _(*7)
