Hi @liangminghaoAngus

This is just a serializer / deserializer. I do need to create some documentation for it.

So I created a calendar (using KOrganizer)

The part of interest is at the end:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20240618T233745Z

DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20240619T101500
TRANSP:OPAQUE
BEGIN:VALARM
DESCRIPTION:
ACTION:DISPLAY
TRIGGER:-PT5M
X-KDE-KCALCORE-ENABLED:TRUE
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT

That's the whole event. We are interested in the VALARM part:

BEGIN:VALARM
DESCRIPTION:
ACTION:DISPLAY
TRIGGER:-PT5M
X-KDE-KCALCORE-ENABLED:TRUE
END:VALARM

So that's for this event:

It's nested. I haven't used the library in a while, but if you can't do that in it, that's a bug.

I have some things on my plate but let me know how you go, I will attempt to follow up. If needed follow through with a fix.

thx ,i found the way to use it.here is my code ,it works and it is needed to create some documentation for it.

            reminder := ics.NewAlarm(uuidString)
            reminder.SetSummary(summary)
            reminder.SetDescription(description)
            reminder.SetAction(ics.ActionDisplay)
            reminder.SetTrigger("-PT2H")
            event.AddVAlarm(reminder)
