@connect4/add-to-calendar

A package for the dynamic creation of adding an event to a calendar.

Getting started

First, add @connect4/add-to-calendar to your package.json dependencies, then install using either npm install or yarn install. Next, you can add the component through:

<AddToCalendar
  event={{
    name: "Happy Hour",
    details: "Let's go after work",
    location: "Boston, MA",
    startsAt: "2018-12-06T17:00:00-05:00",
    endsAt: "2018-12-06T18:00:00-05:00"
  }}
/>

To get the styles, be sure it import @connect4/add-to-calendar/dist/styles.css into your application. You can style it appropriately for your app by overriding the CSS classes used internally. They are listed in styles.css.
