A builder and parser for [`rfc5545`](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545) iCalendar.

You want to help make this more mature? Please talk to me, Pull Requests and suggestions are very welcome.

## Examples
Below are two examples of how to use this library. See the `examples` directory as well as the documentation for many more.

### Building a new Calendar

Use the builder-pattern to assemble the full calendar or event by event.
Display printing produces the rfc5545 format.

```rust
use icalendar::{Calendar, CalendarDateTime, Class, Component, Event, EventLike, Property, Todo};
use chrono::{Duration, NaiveDate, NaiveTime, Utc};

// let's create a calendar
let my_calendar = Calendar::new()
.name("example calendar")
.push(
// add an event
Event::new()
.summary("test event")
.description("here I have something really important to do")
.starts(Utc::now())
.class(Class::Confidential)
.ends(Utc::now() + Duration::days(1))
.append_property(
Property::new("TEST", "FOOBAR")
.add_parameter("IMPORTANCE", "very")
.add_parameter("DUE", "tomorrow")
.done(),
)
.done(),
)
.push(
// add a todo
Todo::new()
.summary("groceries")
.description("Buy some milk")
.done(),
)
.push(
// add an all-day event
Event::new()
.all_day(NaiveDate::from_ymd_opt(2016, 3, 15).unwrap())
.summary("My Birthday")
.description("Hey, I'm gonna have a party\nBYOB: Bring your own beer.\nHendrik")
.done(),
)
.push(
// event with utc timezone
Event::new()
.starts(CalendarDateTime::from(
NaiveDate::from_ymd_opt(2024, 10, 24).unwrap()
.and_time(NaiveTime::from_hms_opt(20, 10, 00).unwrap())
.and_utc()
))
.summary("Birthday Party")
.description("I'm gonna have a party\nBYOB: Bring your own beer.\nHendrik")
.done(),
)
.done();

println!("{}", my_calendar);

```

### Parsing a Calendar
There is a feature called `"parser"` which allows you to read calendars again like this:

```rust
use std::fs::read_to_string;

use icalendar::{Calendar, CalendarComponent, Component};

let contents = read_to_string("fixtures/icalendar-rb/event.ics").unwrap();

let parsed_calendar: Calendar = contents.parse().unwrap();

for component in &parsed_calendar.components {
if let CalendarComponent::Event(event) = component {
println!("Event: {}", event.get_summary().unwrap())
}
}

```

## Structure
A [`Calendar`] represents a full calendar, which contains multiple [`Component`]s. These may be either [`Event`]s, [`Todo`]s, or [`Venue`]s. Components in turn have [`Property`]s, which may have [`Parameter`]s.
