Finding occurrences of a recurring event that are after some date

I am trying to understand the event API. iterator() gets a start date but then uses that event as the base date-time to generate recurring events and ignores the event’s original dtstart. I am interested of finding the occurrences that happen after today for example and the only solution I found is to make a loop until it reaches the date-time I am interested in and this is not a neat solution.

  var iter = event.iterator();
   var next = iter.next();

    for (; next; next = iter.next()) {
        var occurrence = event.getOccurrenceDetails(next);
            if (isOccurrenceNow(datetime, occurence)) {
                return occurrence;
        }
    }

Am I missing something? I think from API point of view, event.iterator(startDate) would be more meaningful if it would the occurrences of the event from this point forward.

That said, I am working on a new parser that should have better performance and get you exactly what you need, the occurrences between two dates (or starting after a date, for that matter). It should be complete in a month or two, or at least be semi-usable.

@kewisch Was this ever pulled upstream?

@kewisch I am wondering what is the api call to get all recurring occurrences between two dates. After looking at the api I can’t find the api call that you state is being added to address this need. Thanks.
