## Design Decisions
### 1. **Selective Calendar Import**
The application allows users to select specific Zoho calendars to import from, consolidating all events into a single Nextcloud calendar. This design choice:
The application allows users to select specific calendars to import from, consolidating all events into a single data structure. This design choice:
- **Reduces complexity** compared to bidirectional sync
- **Provides clear data flow** (Zoho → Nextcloud)
- **Provides clear data flow** (CalDAV server → Application)
- **Minimizes sync conflicts**
- **Matches user requirements** exactly
### 2. **Timezone Handling**
All events are converted to UTC internally for consistency, while preserving original timezone information:
### 2. **Multi-Approach CalDAV Strategy**
The application implements 9 different CalDAV approaches to ensure compatibility with various server implementations:
- **Standard CalDAV Methods**: REPORT, PROPFIND, GET
- **Zoho-Specific Methods**: Custom endpoints for Zoho Calendar
- **Fallback Mechanisms**: Multiple approaches ensure at least one works
- **Debugging Support**: Individual approach testing with `--approach` parameter
### 3. **CalendarEvent Structure**
The application uses a timezone-aware event structure that includes comprehensive metadata:
```rust
pub struct Event {
pub struct CalendarEvent {
pub id: String,
pub summary: String,
pub description: Option<String>,
pub start: DateTime<Utc>,
pub end: DateTime<Utc>,
pub original_timezone: Option<String>,
pub source_calendar: String,
pub location: Option<String>,
pub status: Option<String>,
pub etag: Option<String>,
// Enhanced timezone information (recently added)
pub start_tzid: Option<String>, // Timezone ID for start time
pub end_tzid: Option<String>, // Timezone ID for end time
pub original_start: Option<String>, // Original datetime string from iCalendar
pub original_end: Option<String>, // Original datetime string from iCalendar
// Additional metadata
pub href: String,
pub created: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
pub last_modified: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
pub sequence: i32,
pub transparency: Option<String>,
pub uid: Option<String>,
pub recurrence_id: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
}
```
### 3. **Configuration Hierarchy**
### 4. **Configuration Hierarchy**
Configuration is loaded in priority order:
1. **Command line arguments** (highest priority)
2. **User config file** (`config/config.toml`)
3. **Default config file** (`config/default.toml`)
4. **Environment variables**
5. **Hardcoded defaults** (lowest priority)
3. **Environment variables**
4. **Hardcoded defaults** (lowest priority)
### 4. **Error Handling Strategy**
Uses `thiserror` for custom error types and `anyhow` for error propagation:

### 2. **Calendar Discovery**
```
1. Connect to Zoho CalDAV server
2. Authenticate with app password
3. Send PROPFIND request to discover calendars
4. Parse calendar list and metadata
5. Apply user filters to select calendars
1. Connect to CalDAV server and authenticate
2. Send PROPFIND request to discover calendars
3. Parse calendar list and metadata
4. Select target calendar based on configuration
```
### 3. **Event Synchronization**
```
1. Query selected Zoho calendars for events (next week)
2. Parse iCalendar data into Event objects
3. Convert timestamps to UTC with timezone preservation
4. Apply event filters (duration, status, patterns)
5. Connect to Nextcloud CalDAV server
6. Create target calendar if needed
7. Upload events to Nextcloud calendar
8. Report sync statistics
1. Connect to CalDAV server and authenticate
2. Discover calendar collections using PROPFIND
3. Select target calendar based on configuration
4. Apply CalDAV approaches to retrieve events:
- Try REPORT queries with time-range filters
- Fall back to PROPFIND with href discovery
- Fetch individual .ics files for event details
5. Parse iCalendar data into CalendarEvent objects
6. Convert timestamps to UTC with timezone preservation
7. Apply event filters (duration, status, patterns)
8. Report sync statistics and event summary
```
## Key Algorithms
### 1. **Calendar Filtering**
### 1. **Multi-Approach CalDAV Strategy**
The application implements a robust fallback system with 9 different approaches:
```rust
impl CalendarFilter {
pub fn should_import_calendar(&self, calendar_name: &str) -> bool {
// Check exact matches
if self.selected_names.contains(&calendar_name.to_string()) {
return true;
impl RealCalDavClient {
pub async fn get_events_with_approach(&self, approach: &str) -> CalDavResult<Vec<CalendarEvent>> {
match approach {
"report-simple" => self.report_simple().await,
"report-filter" => self.report_with_filter().await,
"propfind-depth" => self.propfind_with_depth().await,
"simple-propfind" => self.simple_propfind().await,
"multiget" => self.multiget_events().await,
"ical-export" => self.ical_export().await,
"zoho-export" => self.zoho_export().await,
"zoho-events-list" => self.zoho_events_list().await,
"zoho-events-direct" => self.zoho_events_direct().await,
_ => Err(CalDavError::InvalidApproach(approach.to_string())),
}
// Check regex patterns
for pattern in &self.regex_patterns {
if pattern.is_match(calendar_name) {
return true;
}
}
false
}
}
```
### 2. **Timezone Conversion**
### 2. **Individual Event Fetching**
For servers that don't support REPORT queries, the application fetches individual .ics files:
```rust
impl TimezoneHandler {
pub fn convert_to_utc(&self, dt: DateTime<FixedOffset>, timezone: &str) -> CalDavResult<DateTime<Utc>> {
let tz = self.get_timezone(timezone)?;
let local_dt = dt.with_timezone(&tz);
Ok(local_dt.with_timezone(&Utc))
}
async fn fetch_single_event(&self, event_url: &str, calendar_href: &str) -> Result<Option<CalendarEvent>> {
let response = self.client
.get(event_url)
.header("User-Agent", "caldav-sync/0.1.0")
.header("Accept", "text/calendar")
.send()
.await?;
// Parse iCalendar data and return CalendarEvent
}
```
### 3. **Event Processing**
### 3. **Multi-Status Response Parsing**
```rust
impl SyncEngine {
pub async fn sync_calendar(&mut self, calendar: &CalendarInfo) -> CalDavResult<SyncResult> {
// 1. Fetch events from Zoho
let zoho_events = self.fetch_zoho_events(calendar).await?;
// 2. Filter and process events
let processed_events = self.process_events(zoho_events)?;
// 3. Upload to Nextcloud
let upload_results = self.upload_to_nextcloud(processed_events).await?;
// 4. Return sync statistics
Ok(SyncResult::from_upload_results(upload_results))
async fn parse_multistatus_response(&self, xml: &str, calendar_href: &str) -> Result<Vec<CalendarEvent>> {
let mut events = Vec::new();
// Parse multi-status response
let mut start_pos = 0;
while let Some(response_start) = xml[start_pos..].find("<D:response>") {
// Extract href and fetch individual events
// ... parsing logic
}
Ok(events)
}
```
