tldr;
The implementation of "Add to Calendar" functionality enhances the 
usability of the FOSSTrak platform, allowing users to effortlessly 
manage event schedules. This feature request aligns with user 
expectations for modern event management tools and contributes 
to a more interactive and engaging user experience.

Description

Implement the ability for users to click on "Add to Calendar" buttons on event pages, which will generate an iCal file and redirect them to their preferred calendar service (e.g., Google Calendar).

Usecase

Enabling the "Add to Calendar" feature will allow users to conveniently save event details to their personal calendars with a single click. This enhances user engagement and ensures attendees don't miss important events.

Proposed Solution

  1. Generate iCal File: Implement functionality to dynamically generate an iCal (.ics) file containing event details (title, description, date, location, etc.) when the user clicks "Add to Calendar".
  2. Redirect to Calendar Service: Redirect users to their preferred calendar service (e.g., Google Calendar) with the generated iCal file, pre-populating the calendar event details.

NPM Package (ical-generator)
