Description

Fetch calendars every 20 seconds
and check if new ones have been added
or known ones have changed since they were loaded.

If a calendar changed remove all it's data from the store
and thereby effectively trigger a reload.

This is a fairly brute force approach as it drops all known data
rather than fetching only the data that changed via the caldav sync API.

However Caldav sync is yet to be implemented. (nextcloud/cdav-library#9)
So this serves as a workaround for the time being.

Fixes #31.

Type of change

Please delete options that are not relevant.

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • This change requires a documentation update ( I'm unsure 🤷🏼 )

How to test / use your changes?

Please provide instructions how to test your changes

  1. Check out the branch, compile the js an load it in a browser
  2. Share a calendar in a different browser
  3. Open the shared calendar and change the original
  4. Wait for the shared calendar display to update. (at most 20 seconds)

UI Changes

Todolist:

  • Keep the order of calendars in the sidebar. (We now respect calendar.dav.order when adding it back.)
  • Add a server wide setting for the polling time defaulting to 1 Minute
  • Also reload calendars on the dashboard (The dashboard data structure is quite different from the calendar view. Won't handle it as part of this Pull Request.)

I did not read the full code changes yet but is it working in the embedded calendar view as well @azul?

@TheOneWithTheBraid I added the hooks to the main Calendar.vue which is also used for embedded calendars as far as i can tell. So I would expect it to work. Have not tested it though.

Fetch the open calendars every 20 seconds

See #31.

* Add new calendars to the list as they show up.
* Reload non-public calendars if they are updated on the server.

Fixes #31.

This works but it is not an optimal solution:
* If a calendar changes it reloads the current view
  no matter wether anyting in the view changed or not.
* If a calendar changes it drops all cached events
  even if they did not change.
* If an event is added to the calendar or moved
  this calendar will also be reloaded because the new event
  changed the syncToken on the server.
* If a calendar changed
  it will be added to the bottom of the list of calendars.

I would be fine with most of these but the last one needs to be fixed.

When reloading updated calendars we effectively re-add them.
Put them in the list of calendars in the place they belong to
according to the `order` given by the dav response.

This format is kinda ugly and prone to issues. The ISO 8601 duration format is probably better here (we already use if for the refresh rate of subscriptions for instance). On the front-end you can use momentjs to parse it.

I'm using ISO 8601 in the tests and defaults now and parse the value with moment.duration - so in the end both formats will work.

I'm not entirely sure what more it will take to have a properly working setting. I will open another PR to https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/blob/master/admin_manual/groupware/calendar.rst to document the setting.

Edit: Removed resolved issue with loading sync_timeout - i was missing a call to loadState.

@azul azul force-pushed the ux/reloadCalendars branch 3 times, most recently from 9bf8ae9 to 6734bc3 Compare February 28, 2021 14:09
The setting is a string that can be formatted as anything that
[moment.duration](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/durations/creating/)
can parse:
* 'hh:mm:ss'
* 'PT1M' (ISO 8601)

Any invalid setting or setting to less than a second
will lead to the calendar updates being disabled.

The setting is not exposed in the UI.
It's meant to be configured by server admins
to be able to adjust the timeout and prevent an overly high load.
