OmniEvent (Pre Release)

Manage events from any calendar, event discovery, event ticketing, event management, social network or video conferencing provider in ruby.

This gem is significantly inspired by, and structurally similar to, OmniAuth. It is the result of research conducted by Pavilion in the NGI DAPSI program, specifically:

A study of the existing calendar event standards, and attempts to develop a standard calendar event data model, including a comparative analysis of the current data models of popular event-related services.

The research and its associated data will be made publicly available in the coming months, along with code documentation (using YARD) and a product landing page.

Please note that this gem is pre release and is not yet ready for production.

Install the gem as follows:

$ gem install omnievent

First, you need to configure at least one event provider strategy using the OmniEvent::Builder. The gem comes packaged with the developer provider strategy, which merely demonstrates the functionality, and does not connect to any real provider. All real provider strategies will be packaged as separate gems, similar to the OmniAuth gem.

OmniEvent::Builder.new do
  provider :developer
end

Authorization is handled by each provider strategy according to the authorization mechanisms of that provider. Check the provider gem's readme to see what options need to be set during configuration to ensure your connection to the provider is authorized.

OmniEvent has various event methods to provide access to events from one or more of your configured providers. All event methods are available as class methods on the OmniEvent module.

List events from a configured provider.

OmniEvent.list_events(:developer, opts)

from_time: List events from time.
