Set datetime time zone if TZID propery present #53

Open silverfoxdoc opened 7 months ago

silverfoxdoc commented 7 months ago

I worked on this a while ago and came back to this in the last few days with newed enthusiasm.

I noticed that calendars which have TZID property (apple calendar and I think outlook as well) were not being allocated to the stated TZID property time zone.

Needed to do some more reading to improve my base R code knowledge but think I've sorted it now to allocate TZID property time zone and then convert to local time zone.

I have extracted each TZID property timezone individually for each column and then mapped it to same columns; I don't think most calendar software will allow different timezones to be set for different events within same calendar but I noticed when testing that if you do that, you get multiple DTSTART/DTEND columns with the different TZID properties so this would hopefully future proof it so to speak. It wouldn't merge them but into single column but user could probably do that themselves if desired.

See what you think and if it should be included.

Can you re-document with

devtools::document()

so checks pass?

Robinlovelace commented 7 months ago

You can check locally with 

devtools::check()

Looking great btw.

We're getting an error message in the examples now @silverfoxdoc, any ideas?

looks like trying to add this feature has broken the ability to write an ical object out to .ics file; I don't have a lot of time spare at present but hopefully might be able to come back to this in a about a month or so

OK, thanks @silverfoxdoc and no worries. I'm confident this is a + for the package so will also aim to take a look when time allows :crossed_fingers:
