Task Description
The primary objective of this task is to develop the functionality to display class schedule events retrieved from Google Calendar dynamically. This involves parsing and formatting events for display, implementing a UI to present the events in a structured format, and ensuring events refresh when a new import is triggered. The system will not store any events persistently, relying on the Google Calendar API for data retrieval.
Implementation Checklist
To ensure a smooth implementation process, the following tasks need to be completed:
- Parse and format events for display: Extract relevant information from the Google Calendar API, such as event title, date, time, and building name, and format it for display.
- Implement a UI to present the events in a structured format: Design a user-friendly interface to display the events, utilizing a list view or a simple table for easy navigation.
- Ensure events refresh when a new import is triggered: Develop a mechanism to fetch new data from the Google Calendar API when a new import is triggered, updating the displayed events accordingly.
Technical Requirements
To ensure a robust and efficient implementation, the following technical requirements must be met:
- Proper date/time formatting: Ensure that dates and times are formatted correctly, taking into account time zones to avoid any discrepancies.
- Avoid duplication by displaying only the latest fetched events: Implement a mechanism to prevent duplicate events from being displayed, showcasing only the latest fetched events.
- Implement a frontend UI to visualize the schedule: Design a simple table or list view to display the schedule, providing an intuitive interface for users to navigate.
- Event Refresh: Decide on a suitable approach for fetching new data from the Google Calendar API, such as on page load or a manual refresh button.
Definition of Done
To confirm the completion of this task, the following criteria must be met:
- UI displays event data in a structured, readable format: The implemented UI should display event data in a clear and organized manner, making it easy for users to understand.
- Events update when new data is received from the import process: The system should update the displayed events when new data is received from the Google Calendar API, ensuring that users have access to the latest information.
- Code implemented: The necessary code should be written and tested to ensure that it functions as expected.
- Documentation updated: Relevant documentation should be updated to reflect the changes made to the system.
- Code reviewed: The implemented code should undergo a thorough review to ensure that it meets the required standards.
- Changes committed: The changes should be committed to the version control system.
- PR created: A pull request should be created to facilitate the review and merging of the changes.
Additional Notes
- System does not store any events persistently: The system relies on the Google Calendar API for data retrieval, and no events are stored persistently, either locally or in a database.
- Links to resources or documentation: Relevant resources or documentation should be provided to facilitate further development and troubleshooting.
