Config (src/ical/config.js)

Course list

The following structure is used:

config.users = {
	'user' : {
		'objectid-year-phase-semester' : ['courseID'],
	},
}

user is the username that is used to identify the courselist. The created ical file is also named: user.ics.

objectid is the ID of the bachelor or master program.

year is the year from which you want to extract the schedule.

phase is the phase of the program. Bachelors have 3 phases, most masters have 2 phases.

semester is the semester in which the course is given.

Group list

The group list is used to define which events should/should not be included in the ical calendar. The structure is as following:

config.group_list = {
	'user' : {
		'courseID' : 'filter',
	},
};

The filter is applied to all events related to courseID. Events that do not match with the filter are not included in the ical calendar. Currently regular expressions are NOT supported.

Google calendar integration

Google calendar can be used with this application. The application syncs with the google calendar checks which events are outdated or need to be newly added and makes those changes.
