Datasette plugin for outputting iCalendar files

datasette-ics

Datasette plugin that adds support for generating iCalendar .ics files with the results of a SQL query.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette to enable the .ics output extension.

$ pip install datasette-ics

Usage

To create an iCalendar file you need to define a custom SQL query that returns a required set of columns:

• event_name - the short name for the event
• event_dtstart - when the event starts

The following columns are optional:

• event_dtend - when the event ends
• event_duration - the duration of the event (use instead of dtend)
• event_description - a longer description of the event
• event_uid - a globally unique identifier for this event

A query that returns these columns can then be returned as an ics feed by adding the .ics extension.
