Recurring Event about device_calendar

[nickrandolph]

@Solido I'm not sure what your comment about adoption means. If developers want more advanced functionality, they are more than welcome to fork this repo and build out their own features.
Thanks for the links to RN - we can use some of that as the basis for how we build out recurring events but it'd be great to get someone from the community to assist.

I am using your library for one of my Application - it is working great and thank you.

@Solido @MaikuB

BTW, i also need the reminder functionality and wondering if any work has gone into it. If not, I am planning to start working on it but thought of checking in first to avoid duplicate effort.

Thank you again and please do let me know your comments!

@Solido for now there is a basic implementation of recurring appointments. We'll open up issues for extending the implementation shortly

[nickrandolph]

@Solido building support for recurring events is definitely on the backlog. However, at this stage we haven't got a timeframe for implementing it.
Definitely happy to take contributions if you want to submit a PR

I've very few knowledge of the domain, I guess I can help on the dart side but for the underlying it can be difficult.

Android support Events.RRULE & Ios EKRecurrenceRule

Should we plan smth what will work on both platform or can we let the devs pass optional parameter in each platform native method ?

[nickrandolph]

The Dart API that's exposed to developers should reflect as much consistency across all platforms as possible.

If there are features that some platforms expose but not all, the plugin should expose a property indicating whether a feature is supported. The feature should be exposed in a way that makes it possible to add other platform support later (eg no exposing Android or iOS specific class/package names)

It'd be worth looking at what API plugins for other ecosystems expose (eg Xamarin/Xamarin.Form or ReactNative).

[Solido]

My point is how to get this available to the users by ANY means ;)
Few chance that the lib get adopted if it can't let you access to advanced methods but how to get it implemented is not an easy task !

[Solido]

Not sure if it helps but you could also have a look at RN

and recurrence

Let me know how I can help

@gthirumurugan we haven't done any work on this so you are welcome to submit a PR as mentioned above

@MaikuB

Thank you for responding - I'll submit a PR once I am finished with the enhancements. For now, I am planning to go by the RN design as @Solido has pointed out.
