Calendar

Description

Calendar adds calendar and event management to Laravel Enso.

The package supports persisted calendars and events, recurring event sequences, attendees, reminders, all-day events, and custom readonly calendar sources that can project data from outside the calendar_events table.

It also ships with a builtin Birthday calendar, reminder notifications delivered through mail, database, and broadcast channels, plus the backend API and form metadata consumed by the Enso calendar frontend.

Installation

This package is normally installed as part of the Enso ecosystem.

For standalone installation in an Enso-based application:

composer require laravel-enso/calendar

Optional publishes:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-provider
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-mail
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=calendar-factories

Birthday calendar configuration:

return [
    'birthdays' => [
        'roles' => ['*'],
    ],
];

The package also registers the reminder command:

php artisan enso:calendar:send-reminders

Features

• Manages calendars with configurable colors and privacy flags.
• Manages events with title, body, location, attendees, reminders, geocoordinates, and all-day support.
• Supports recurring events with Once, Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly frequencies.
• Supports recurrence update scopes: Only This, This And Future, and All.
• Generates and reshapes recurring sequences through dedicated create, update, delete, and extraction services.
• Exposes a builtin readonly Birthday calendar sourced from Person records.
• Allows registering additional custom calendars that return readonly event projections.
• Sends overdue reminders through queued mail, database, and broadcast notifications.
• Registers form metadata and API resources used by the Enso calendar frontend.

Usage

Create and manage native calendars and events through the provided API routes, or register custom readonly calendars through the published provider:

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Calendars\OrdersCalendar;

class CalendarServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    protected array $register = [
        OrdersCalendar::class,
    ];
}

A custom calendar must implement LaravelEnso\Calendar\Contracts\CustomCalendar and return event objects that implement LaravelEnso\Calendar\Contracts\ProvidesEvent.

To dispatch due reminders manually:

php artisan enso:calendar:send-reminders

Event Payload

The event resource returned to the frontend includes:

• title
• parentId
• isLast
• body
• start
• end
• location
• frequency
• recurrenceEnds
• allDay
• readonly
• class
• route
• deletable
• resizable

Validation Rules

The event request validates:

• calendar membership

It also prevents:

• recurring metadata on singular events
• invalid subsequence backdating when updating future events
