Drafts Directory: Import Calendar Events

Action

Import Calendar Events (fixed)

I noticed that both the original Calendar action by Agile Tortoise and several others fail to import. I discovered a script by “unknown” that was last edited a in 2022 that was buggy. Among the various issues:

Time formatting: Missing padding for single-digit minutes, causing times to show as “10:0” instead of “10:00”.
AM/PM calculation logic:

The noon hour (12 PM) was being converted to “0:0 PM” because your code subtracted 12 when hours > 11
Midnight (12 AM) wasn’t being handled properly

Code correctness: The undefined check used the string “undefined” rather than the actual undefined value
Formatting inconsistencies: The all-day event formatting included a “/n” instead of a proper newline

All of this has been fixed. I hope someone can make use of this!

Steps

script

let calendars = Calendar.getAllCalendars();
let calendarNames = calendars.map(x => x.title);
let p = Prompt.create();
p.title = "Import Calendar";
p.message = "Select calendar and date range to import events from the calendar as a Markdown list";
p.addSelect("calendar", "Calendar", calendarNames, [], false);
p.addDatePicker("start","Start date", (1).years().ago(), {"mode":"date"});
p.addDatePicker("end","End date", Date.today(), {"mode":"date"});
p.addButton("Import");
if (p.show()) {
	let selected = p.fieldValues["calendar"];
	let ix = calendarNames.findIndex(x => x == selected);
	let cal = calendars[ix];
	let start = p.fieldValues["start"];
	let end = Date.parse(p.fieldValues["end"]).addMilliseconds(86399999);
	if (cal) {
		if (!importCal(cal, start, end)) {
			context.fail();
		}
	}
}
else {
	context.cancel();
}
function importCal(cal, start, end) {
	let events = cal.events(start, end);
	if (events == undefined || events.length == 0) {
		alert('No events found to import');
		return false;
	}
	let t = []
	for(let event of events) {
		t.push("* " + event.title + " - ");
		if (event.isAllDay) {
			t.push("All Day");  
		}
		else {
			let hours = event.startDate.getHours();
			let minutes = event.startDate.getMinutes();
			let period = "AM";
			
			if (hours >= 12) {
				period = "PM";
				if (hours > 12) {
					hours -= 12;
				}
			}
			
			// Handle midnight case (0:00 AM should display as 12:00 AM)
			if (hours === 0) {
				hours = 12;
			}
			
			// Ensure minutes have leading zeros when needed
			let formattedMinutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
			
			t.push(hours + ":" + formattedMinutes + " " + period);
		}
		
		t.push('\n');
	}
	
	draft.append(t.join(""));
	return true;
}
