Syntax

  {% ical url: https://space.floern.com/launch.ics reverse: true only_future: true %}
    {{ event.summary }}
    {{ event.description }}
    {{ event.simple_html_description }}
    {{ event.start_time }}
    {{ event.end_time }}
    {{ event.url }}
    {{ event.attendees }}
  {% endical %}

Options

• reverse - Defaults to 'false', ordering events by start_time (or reverse start_time).

• only_past - Defaults to 'false', limits returned events to start_times before now.

• only_future - Defaults to 'false', limits returned events to start_time after now.

• before_date - limits returned events to dates before a specific date. This gets parsed with Ruby's Time.parse (e.g. 01-01-2018)

• after_date - limits returned events to dates after a specific date. This gets parsed with Ruby's Time.parse (e.g. 01-01-2018).

• limit - limits the number of returned events to the first N events matching the specified criteria. For example, {% ical url: https://example.com/events.ics only_future:true limit:5 %} returns the first five future events.

• recurring_start_date - limits returned events to recurring occurances after a specific date. If you don't have recurring events in your feed, you can ignore it. Deafults to 'today'

• recurring_end_date - limits returned events to recurring occurances before a specific date. If you don't have recurring events in your feed, you can ignore it. Deafults to '1 year from today'
