FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Usage
Basic Usage
1. Create an iCal object
You can make it by string concatenation or you can use one of the many libraries to build it. I suggest markuspoerschke/iCal: https://github.com/markuspoerschke/iCal
The result will be something like this:
More information about iCalendar specifications here: http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/
Just be sure to set the METHOD field as PUBLISH or REQUEST, and set at least the recipient of the email as ATTENDEE.
2. Create the Swift_Calendar object
The method must be the same as the one you set in the iCal.
3. Attach it to the message
You can add more different MIME parts to the message. I tested it with text/plan + text/html and with a normal attachment too.
4. Send it
Notes
Mail clients handle the embedded calendar in different ways. Here are some of my personal experiences:
-
Outlook: Uses the email body as event description and the email subject as event title. Calendars with PUBLISH method are not listed with emails, but only showed as toast in the web interface (so my advice is to NOT use this method).
- Gmail: Uses the fields DESCRIPTION and SUMMARY as description and title of the event (just as it should be)
Feel free to ask any question and to give any suggestion for improvements.
