Able to mark dates based on iCal rrule

eg:

FREQ=WEEKLY;DTSTART=20120201T093000Z;INTERVAL=5;UNTIL=20130130T230000Z;BYDAY=MO,FR

there is a grate lib for this: https://github.com/jakubroztocil/rrule

Hey that’s great to hear @esdrasevt. It’s pretty fascinating how the RRule is expressed into event instances on a calendar app (how they’re kinda “virtual” things, not really there unless you create an exception).

I’ve shared the process of exploring how these work at @robinpowered, we do a lot with iCal too.

Anyways, glad to hear you’re in business 👍

I don’t think a presentation component should have to deal with those concerns. This feels more like a user-land problem more than it does a library problem.

You could get good mileage by composing react-native-calendars with a thin-wrapper that interpolates the RRULE into a collection of events, and then use react-native-calendars as you normally would:

function ICalCalendar({rrule, ...props}) {
  const events = buildEventsFromRRule(rrule)

  return <Calendar {...props} markedDates={dateMarkingsFromEvents(events)} />
}
