Description

Is there an ability to get currently running events, perhaps with IcalExpander.now()?

things now() would catch for all events (including recurring):

  • events running all day for that day
  • events running at that particular time (startDate <= now() && endDate >= now())

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing IcalExpander code to understand how events are expanded and how recurrence rules are handled. Then implement a now() method that returns events currently active by checking if current time falls between startDate and endDate, accounting for all day events and recurring events.
