# ical-generator

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sebbo2002/ical-generator.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sebbo2002/ical-generator)

ical-generator is a small piece of code which generates ical calendar files. I use this to generate subscriptionable calendar feeds.


## Installation

	npm install ical-generator


## Example

```javascript
var ical = require('ical-generator'),
	http = require('http'),
	cal = ical();

cal.setDomain('sebbo.net').setName('my first iCal');

cal.addEvent({
	start: new Date(),
	end: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 3600000),
	summary: 'Example Event',
	description: 'It works ;)',
	location: 'my room',
	url: 'http://sebbo.net/'
});

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
	cal.serve(res);
}).listen(3000, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/');
```
