Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create Events

[](#create-events)

The PHP code below is used to create a new event.

The variables at the beginning (`title`, `summary`, `description`, `startDate`, `endDate`, `classification`, `transparency`, and `location`) represent different details of the event:

- `title`: The title of the event.
- `summary`: A brief overview of the event.
- `description`: Detailed information about the event.
- `startDate` and `endDate`: The start and end dates of the event and are mandatory.
- `classification`: The visibility of the event, indicating whether it's private or public.
- `transparency`: Indicates whether the time of the event is blocked or free.
- `location`: Location of the event.

These details are collected together into an associative array using the `compact` function. This array is then passed as an argument to the `Event::createEvent` function, which generates an instance of an event with these details.

```
$title = 'Test Event';
$summary = 'Test Event';
$description = 'This is a test event';
$startDate = '2024-10-15 18:15:00';
$endDate = '2024-10-15 18:45:00';
$classification = EventClassification::private;
$transparency = EventTransparency::opaque;
$location = 'Test Location';

$event = Event::create(
    compact('title',
        'summary',
        'description',
        'startDate',
        'endDate',
        'classification',
        'transparency',
        'location'));
```

### Create an iCalendar

[](#create-an-icalendar)

To create an iCalendar/ICS file you can use the following code.

First create a new Calendar instance and add all required Events to it. After that you can generate the ICS string or the file with the functions.

```
$calendar = new Calendar();
$calendar->addEvent($event);

$ics = $calendar->generateICS(); // generates a ICS string
$icsFile = $calendar->generateICSFile(); // generates a ICS file
```
