Sinatra GCal

Note: Hack and play, but beware: this is beta code.

Show off your Google Calendar in a nifty, Sinatra-powered events page.

See a demo running at http://christchurch.events.geek.nz

Setting up

Install requirements with bundle install.

Copy config.example.yml to config.yml, adjust as you need.

Run with ruby server.rb (or shotgun server.rb).

Configuration

You can set the following in config.yml.

• gcal - the identifier for your public Google Calendar (can be found under calendar sharing options, often xxxxx@group.calendar.google.com)
• lookahead - how many days in the future you'd like to display (eg. 30)
• timezone - a TZInfo-compatible timezone (eg. UTC or Pacific/Auckland)

Running Live

If you're using Passenger, a config.ru like this will do nicely:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

set :environment, :production
disable :run

require 'haml'
require 'server'

run Sinatra::Application

Laundry List

Still marked TODO:

• Caching support (currently fetches the calendar every time a request is made)
• Tidy up the request code
