Event categories

Storage:

>>> from calcore import cal
>>> m = cal.StorageManager()
>>> m.setStorage(cal.MemoryStorage('storage'))

Making some attendees:

>>> s = cal.SimpleAttendeeSource(m)
>>> martijn = s.createIndividual('martijn', 'Martijn')
>>> lennart = s.createIndividual('lennart', 'Lennart')

Martijn creates an event:

>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>> event = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 2, 10, 14, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='An Event')

Events can be in categories:

>>> from sets import Set
>>> event.categories = Set(['HOLIDAY'])
>>> event.categories
Set(['HOLIDAY'])
>>> event.inCategory('HOLIDAY')
True
>>> event.categories = event.categories.union(Set(['APPOINTMENT']))
>>> l = list(event.categories)
>>> l.sort()
>>> l
['APPOINTMENT', 'HOLIDAY']
>>> event.categories = event.categories - Set(['HOLIDAY'])
>>> event.inCategory('HOLIDAY')
False
>>> event.categories
Set(['APPOINTMENT'])

You can search events by categories. First, let's add a few more events in some categories:

>>> second = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 2, 10, 15, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='Second Event',
...   categories=Set(['HOLIDAY']))
>>> third = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 2, 10, 16, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='Third Event',
...   categories=Set(['APPOINTMENT']))
>>> fourth = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 2, 10, 17, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='Fourth Event',
...   categories=Set(['HOLIDAY', 'APPOINTMENT']))
>>> fifth = martijn.createEvent(
...   dtstart=datetime(2005, 2, 10, 18, 00),
...   duration=timedelta(minutes=60),
...   title='Fifth Event')

Now we're going to look for events that fit in categories:

>>> def displayEvents(events):
...    events.sort()
...    return [e.title for e in events]

>>> february = (datetime(2005, 2, 1), datetime(2005, 3, 1))
>>> events = martijn.getEvents(february,
...   cal.SearchCriteria(categories=['HOLIDAY']))
>>> displayEvents(events)
['Second Event', 'Fourth Event']
>>> events = martijn.getEvents(february,
...   cal.SearchCriteria(categories=['APPOINTMENT']))
>>> displayEvents(events)
['An Event', 'Third Event', 'Fourth Event']
>>> events = martijn.getEvents(february,
...   cal.SearchCriteria(categories=['APPOINTMENT', 'HOLIDAY']))
>>> displayEvents(events)
['An Event', 'Second Event', 'Third Event', 'Fourth Event']

If we don't supply any search criteria, we'll get all events in range:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents(february)
>>> displayEvents(events)
['An Event', 'Second Event', 'Third Event', 'Fourth Event', 'Fifth Event']

We can reach the same event by using blank search criteria:

>>> events = martijn.getEvents(february, cal.SearchCriteria())
>>> displayEvents(events)
['An Event', 'Second Event', 'Third Event', 'Fourth Event', 'Fifth Event']
