Add a functionality so that user can see their current calendar entries in system.
Show warning when tries to select conflicting date.

Hi Travis and Kousthubha,

Thank you for your sample page, to explain on your requirements and use cases.

Here is my status on the technical investigation to pull the outlook information via MS Graph API :

Development Environment with sample data was setup and I have 16 people on MS Azure Directory with outlook calendar for testing purpose.
So far I can have the following use case working with the sample data.
- Login and Logout
- To pull the event from the calendar point of view
- To user's calendar and event listing under particular calendar
- Autocomplete selection on Attendees
- Create my own event or event with other attendee

Please see the attachment with some screenshots.

Next week, I will keep working on the FindMeeting API call, this is for "Find possible meeting times on the Outlook calendar" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/findmeetingtimes-example

Thank you.
