Feature: Calendar and Scheduling API

[vivekmodi23]

Describe the Feature

The Calendar and Scheduling API will provide endpoints for managing events, appointments, reminders, and scheduling. It will allow users to create, read, update, and delete calendar entries, as well as set reminders and manage recurring events. The API will also support integration with popular calendar services like Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.

Use Case

1. Personal Calendar Management: Users can manage their personal schedules by adding, updating, and deleting events. They can set reminders for important events and create recurring events like weekly meetings or annual birthdays.
2. Team Collaboration: Teams can use the API to schedule meetings, track project deadlines, and share calendars with team members. This will enhance collaboration and ensure everyone is on the same page regarding schedules.
3. Appointment Booking: Businesses can integrate the API into their websites or applications to allow customers to book appointments. This is useful for service providers like doctors, consultants, and beauty salons.
4. Event Management: Organizations hosting events can use the API to manage event details, send out invitations, and track RSVPs. 5. Attendees can add the events to their personal calendars.
5. Reminder System: Users can set up reminders for tasks and events to receive notifications via email, SMS, or push notifications, ensuring they don't miss important activities.

Additional Information

1.Authentication: The API will require authentication to ensure that users can only access and modify their own calendar entries. 2. 2. OAuth 2.0 can be used for secure authentication.

3. Time Zones: The API should handle time zones appropriately to ensure that events are accurately represented for users in different locations.
4. Recurrence Rules: Support for complex recurrence rules (e.g., "every third Monday of the month") will be important for flexibility.
5. Notifications: Integration with notification services for reminders will enhance the user experience.

Suggested Tools

1. Framework: Use Express.js for building the backend API.
2. Database: Use MongoDB for managing calendar data, with support for complex queries and indexing for performance.
3. Authentication: Implement OAuth 2.0 using Passport.js for secure authentication.
4. Calendar Integration: Use libraries like Google Calendar API and Microsoft Graph API for integration with external calendar services.
5. Time Zone Handling: Utilize libraries like Moment.js or Luxon for handling time zones and date manipulation.

@vivekmodi23 Thank you for the module proposal. This module seems interesting and complex. I am curious to know more about the approach and the detailed flow of this module. I request you to create a simple, bare-minimum, high-level design for this module consisting of the major components. Additionally, I suggest reviewing the possibilities of changes to existing FreeAPI modules, such as Auth, as changes to existing FreeAPI modules could affect other modules.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
