Laravel5-Google-Calendar

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

Used in the Laravel Bill Reminder app I created: https://github.com/Askedio/BillReminder

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.

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

Usage

Declare use statements to access Calendar and CalendarEvent.

  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.

  # 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.

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
