# Development Guide

This document provides comprehensive information about the design, architecture, and development of the CalDAV Calendar Synchronizer.

## Architecture Overview

The application is built with a modular architecture using Rust's strong type system and async capabilities.

### Core Components

#### 1. **Configuration System** (`src/config.rs`)
- **Purpose**: Manage configuration from files, environment variables, and CLI arguments
- **Features**: 
  - TOML-based configuration files
  - Environment variable support
  - Command-line argument overrides
  - Configuration validation
- **Key Types**: `Config`, `ServerConfig`, `CalendarConfig`, `FilterConfig`, `SyncConfig`

#### 2. **CalDAV Client** (`src/minicaldav_client.rs`)
- **Purpose**: Handle CalDAV protocol operations with multiple CalDAV servers
- **Features**:
  - HTTP client with authentication
  - Multiple CalDAV approaches (9 different methods)
  - Calendar discovery via PROPFIND
  - Event retrieval via REPORT requests and individual .ics file fetching
  - Multi-status response parsing
  - Zoho-specific implementation support
- **Key Types**: `RealCalDavClient`, `CalendarInfo`, `CalendarEvent`

#### 3. **Sync Engine** (`src/real_sync.rs`)
- **Purpose**: Coordinate the synchronization process
- **Features**:
  - Pull events from CalDAV servers
  - Event processing and filtering
  - Progress tracking
  - Statistics reporting
  - Timezone-aware event storage
- **Key Types**: `SyncEngine`, `SyncResult`, `SyncEvent`, `SyncStats`
- **Recent Enhancement**: Added `start_tzid` and `end_tzid` fields to `SyncEvent` for timezone preservation

#### 4. **Error Handling** (`src/error.rs`)
- **Purpose**: Comprehensive error management
- **Features**:
  - Custom error types
  - Error context and chaining
  - User-friendly error messages
- **Key Types**: `CalDavError`, `CalDavResult`

#### 5. **Main Application** (`src/main.rs`)
- **Purpose**: Command-line interface and application orchestration
- **Features**:
  - CLI argument parsing
  - Configuration loading and overrides
  - Debug logging setup
  - Command routing (list-events, list-calendars, sync)
  - Approach-specific testing
  - Timezone-aware event display
- **Key Commands**: `--list-events`, `--list-calendars`, `--approach`, `--calendar-url`
- **Recent Enhancement**: Added timezone information to event listing output for debugging

## Design Decisions

### 1. **Selective Calendar Import**
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** (CalDAV server → Application)
- **Minimizes sync conflicts**
- **Matches user requirements** exactly

### 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 CalendarEvent {
    pub id: String,
    pub summary: String,
    pub description: Option<String>,
    pub start: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub end: DateTime<Utc>,
    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>>,
}
```

### 4. **Configuration Hierarchy**
Configuration is loaded in priority order:

1. **Command line arguments** (highest priority)
2. **User config file** (`config/config.toml`)
3. **Environment variables**
4. **Hardcoded defaults** (lowest priority)

### 4. **Error Handling Strategy**
Uses `thiserror` for custom error types and `anyhow` for error propagation:

```rust
#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum CalDavError {
    #[error("HTTP error: {0}")]
    Http(#[from] reqwest::Error),
    
    #[error("Configuration error: {0}")]
    Config(String),
    
    #[error("Calendar not found: {0}")]
    CalendarNotFound(String),
    
    // ... more error variants
}
```

## Data Flow

### 1. **Application Startup**
```
1. Load CLI arguments
2. Load configuration files
3. Apply environment variables
4. Validate configuration
5. Initialize logging
6. Create CalDAV clients
```

### 2. **Calendar Discovery**
```
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. 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. **Multi-Approach CalDAV Strategy**
The application implements a robust fallback system with 9 different approaches:
```rust
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())),
        }
    }
}
```

### 2. **Individual Event Fetching**
For servers that don't support REPORT queries, the application fetches individual .ics files:
```rust
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. **Multi-Status Response Parsing**
```rust
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)
}
```

## Testing Strategy

### 1. **Unit Tests**
- Individual module functionality
- Configuration parsing and validation
- Event parsing and timezone conversion
- Error handling paths

### 2. **Integration Tests**
- End-to-end CalDAV operations
- Configuration loading from files
- CLI argument processing
- HTTP client behavior

### 3. **Mock Testing**
- Mock CalDAV server responses
- Test error conditions without real servers
- Validate retry logic and timeout handling

## Performance Considerations

### 1. **Async Operations**
All network operations are async to prevent blocking:
```rust
pub async fn fetch_events(&self, calendar: &CalendarInfo) -> CalDavResult<Vec<Event>> {
    let response = self.client
        .request(reqwest::Method::REPORT, &calendar.url)
        .body(report_body)
        .send()
        .await?;
    
    // Process response...
}
```

### 2. **Memory Management**
- Stream processing for large calendar responses
- Efficient string handling with `Cow<str>` where appropriate
- Clear lifecycle management for HTTP connections

### 3. **Configuration Caching**
- Cache parsed timezone information
- Reuse HTTP connections where possible
- Validate configuration once at startup

## Security Considerations

### 1. **Authentication**
- Support for app-specific passwords only
- Never log authentication credentials
- Secure storage of sensitive configuration

### 2. **Network Security**
- Enforce HTTPS by default
- SSL certificate validation
- Custom CA certificate support

### 3. **Data Privacy**
- Minimal data collection (only required event fields)
- Optional debug logging with sensitive data filtering
- Clear data retention policies

## Future Enhancements

### 1. **Event Import to Target Servers**
- **Unidirectional Import**: Import events from source CalDAV server to target (e.g., Zoho → Nextcloud)
- **Source of Truth**: Source server always wins - target events are overwritten/updated based on source
- **Dual Client Architecture**: Support for simultaneous source and target CalDAV connections
- **Target Calendar Validation**: Verify target calendar exists, fail if not found (auto-creation as future enhancement)

### 2. **Enhanced Filtering**
- Advanced regex patterns
- Calendar color-based filtering
- Attendee-based filtering
- Import-specific filtering rules

### 3. **Performance Optimizations**
- Batch import operations for large calendars
- Parallel calendar processing
- Incremental sync with change detection
- Local caching and offline mode

### 4. **User Experience**
- Interactive configuration wizard for source/target setup
- Dry-run mode for import preview
- Web-based status dashboard
- Real-time import progress notifications

### 📈 **Nextcloud Event Import Development Plan**

The architecture is ready for the next major feature: **Unidirectional Event Import** from source CalDAV server (e.g., Zoho) to target server (e.g., Nextcloud).

#### **Import Architecture Overview**
```
Source Server (Zoho) ──→ Target Server (Nextcloud)
     ↑                          ↓
  Source of Truth           Import Destination
```

#### **Implementation Plan (3 Phases)**

**Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (2-3 days)**
1. **Configuration Restructuring**
   ```rust
   pub struct Config {
       pub source: ServerConfig,        // Source server (Zoho)
       pub target: ServerConfig,        // Target server (Nextcloud)
       pub source_calendar: CalendarConfig,
       pub target_calendar: CalendarConfig,
       pub import: ImportConfig,        // Import-specific settings
   }
   ```

2. **Dual Client Support**
   ```rust
   pub struct SyncEngine {
       pub source_client: RealCalDavClient,    // Source server
       pub target_client: RealCalDavClient,    // Target server
       import_state: ImportState,              // Track imported events
   }
   ```

3. **Import State Tracking**
   ```rust
   pub struct ImportState {
       pub last_import: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
       pub imported_events: HashMap<String, String>, // source_uid → target_href
       pub deleted_events: HashSet<String>,          // Deleted source events
   }
   ```

**Phase 2: Import Logic (2-3 days)**
1. **Import Pipeline Algorithm**
   ```rust
   async fn import_events(&mut self) -> Result<ImportResult> {
       // 1. Fetch source events
       let source_events = self.source_client.get_events(...).await?;
       
       // 2. Fetch target events  
       let target_events = self.target_client.get_events(...).await?;
       
       // 3. Process each source event (source wins)
       for source_event in source_events {
           if let Some(target_href) = self.import_state.imported_events.get(&source_event.uid) {
               // UPDATE: Overwrite target with source data
               self.update_target_event(source_event, target_href).await?;
           } else {
               // CREATE: New event in target
               self.create_target_event(source_event).await?;
           }
       }
       
       // 4. DELETE: Remove orphaned target events
       self.delete_orphaned_events(source_events, target_events).await?;
   }
   ```

2. **Target Calendar Management**
   - Validate target calendar exists before import
   - Set calendar properties (color, name, timezone)
   - Fail fast if target calendar is not found
   - Auto-creation as future enhancement (nice-to-have)

3. **Event Transformation**
   - Convert between iCalendar formats if needed
   - Preserve timezone information
   - Handle UID mapping for future updates

**Phase 3: CLI & User Experience (1-2 days)**
1. **Import Commands**
   ```bash
   # Import events (dry run by default)
   cargo run -- --import-events --dry-run
   
   # Execute actual import
   cargo run -- --import-events --target-calendar "Imported-Zoho-Events"
   
   # List import status
   cargo run -- --import-status
   ```

2. **Progress Reporting**
   - Real-time import progress
   - Summary statistics (created/updated/deleted)
   - Error reporting and recovery

3. **Configuration Examples**
   ```toml
   [source]
   server_url = "https://caldav.zoho.com/caldav"
   username = "user@zoho.com"
   password = "zoho-app-password"

   [target] 
   server_url = "https://nextcloud.example.com"
   username = "nextcloud-user"
   password = "nextcloud-app-password"

   [source_calendar]
   name = "Work Calendar"

   [target_calendar]
   name = "Imported-Work-Events"
   create_if_missing = true
   color = "#3174ad"

   [import]
   overwrite_existing = true    # Source always wins
   delete_missing = true       # Remove events not in source
   dry_run = false
   batch_size = 50
   ```

#### **Key Implementation Principles**

1. **Source is Always Truth**: Source server data overwrites target
2. **Unidirectional Flow**: No bidirectional sync complexity
3. **Robust Error Handling**: Continue import even if some events fail
4. **Progress Visibility**: Clear reporting of import operations
5. **Configuration Flexibility**: Support for any CalDAV source/target

#### **Estimated Timeline**
- **Phase 1**: 2-3 days (Core infrastructure)
- **Phase 2**: 2-3 days (Import logic)  
- **Phase 3**: 1-2 days (CLI & UX)
- **Total**: 5-8 days for complete implementation

#### **Success Criteria**
- Successfully import events from Zoho to Nextcloud
- Handle timezone preservation during import
- Provide clear progress reporting
- Support dry-run mode for preview
- Handle large calendars (1000+ events) efficiently

This plan provides a clear roadmap for implementing the unidirectional event import feature while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of the current codebase.

## TODO List and Status Tracking

### 🎯 Current Development Status

The CalDAV Calendar Synchronizer is **PRODUCTION READY** with recent enhancements to the `fetch_single_event` functionality and timezone handling.

### ✅ Recently Completed Tasks (Latest Development Cycle)

#### 1. **fetch_single_event Debugging and Enhancement**
- **✅ Located and analyzed the function** in `src/minicaldav_client.rs` (lines 584-645)
- **✅ Fixed critical bug**: Missing approach name for approach 5 causing potential runtime issues
- **✅ Enhanced datetime parsing**: Added support for multiple iCalendar formats:
  - UTC times with 'Z' suffix (YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ)
  - Local times without timezone (YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS)  
  - Date-only values (YYYYMMDD)
- **✅ Added debug logging**: Enhanced error reporting for failed datetime parsing
- **✅ Implemented iCalendar line unfolding**: Proper handling of folded long lines in iCalendar files

#### 2. **Zoho Compatibility Improvements**
- **✅ Made Zoho-compatible approach default**: Reordered approaches so Zoho-specific headers are tried first
- **✅ Enhanced HTTP headers**: Uses `Accept: text/calendar` and `User-Agent: curl/8.16.0` for optimal Zoho compatibility

#### 3. **Timezone Information Preservation**
- **✅ Enhanced CalendarEvent struct** with new timezone-aware fields:
  - `start_tzid: Option<String>` - Timezone ID for start time
  - `end_tzid: Option<String>` - Timezone ID for end time
  - `original_start: Option<String>` - Original datetime string from iCalendar
  - `original_end: Option<String>` - Original datetime string from iCalendar
- **✅ Added TZID parameter parsing**: Handles properties like `DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240315T100000`
- **✅ Updated all mock event creation** to include timezone information

#### 4. **Code Quality and Testing**
- **✅ Verified compilation**: All changes compile successfully with only minor warnings
- **✅ Updated all struct implementations**: All CalendarEvent creation points updated with new fields
- **✅ Maintained backward compatibility**: Existing functionality remains intact

#### 5. **--list-events Debugging and Enhancement (Latest Development Cycle)**
- **✅ Time-range format investigation**: Analyzed and resolved the `T000000Z` vs. full time format issue in CalDAV queries
- **✅ Simplified CalDAV approaches**: Removed all 8 alternative approaches, keeping only the standard `calendar-query` method for cleaner debugging
- **✅ Removed debug event limits**: Eliminated the 3-item limitation in `parse_propfind_response()` to allow processing of all events
- **✅ Enhanced timezone display**: Added timezone information to `--list-events` output for easier debugging:
  - Updated `SyncEvent` struct with `start_tzid` and `end_tzid` fields
  - Modified event display in `main.rs` to show timezone IDs
  - Output format: `Event Name (2024-01-15 14:00 America/New_York to 2024-01-15 15:00 America/New_York)`
- **✅ Reverted time-range format**: Changed from date-only (`%Y%m%d`) back to midnight format (`%Y%m%dT000000Z`) per user request
- **✅ Verified complete event retrieval**: Now processes and displays all events returned by the CalDAV server without artificial limitations

### 🔄 Current TODO Items

#### High Priority
- [ ] **Test enhanced functionality**: Run real sync operations to verify Zoho compatibility improvements
- [ ] **Performance testing**: Validate timezone handling with real-world calendar data
- [ ] **Documentation updates**: Update API documentation to reflect new timezone fields

#### Medium Priority  
- [ ] **Additional CalDAV server testing**: Test with non-Zoho servers to ensure enhanced parsing is robust

- [ ] **Unit test expansion**: Add tests for the new timezone parsing and line unfolding functionality

#### Low Priority
- [ ] **Configuration schema update**: Consider adding timezone preference options to config
- [x] **CLI enhancements**: ✅ **COMPLETED** - Added timezone information display to event listing commands
- [ ] **Integration with calendar filters**: Update filtering logic to consider timezone information

### 📅 Next Development Steps

#### Immediate (Next 1-2 weeks)
1. **Real-world validation**: Run comprehensive tests with actual Zoho Calendar data
2. **Performance profiling**: Ensure timezone preservation doesn't impact performance
3. **Bug monitoring**: Watch for any timezone-related parsing issues in production

#### Short-term (Next month)
1. **Enhanced filtering**: Leverage timezone information for smarter event filtering
2. **Export improvements**: Add timezone-aware export options
3. **Cross-platform testing**: Test with various CalDAV implementations

#### Long-term (Next 3 months)
1. **Bidirectional sync preparation**: Use timezone information for accurate conflict resolution
2. **Multi-calendar timezone handling**: Handle events from different timezones across multiple calendars
3. **User timezone preferences**: Allow users to specify their preferred timezone for display

### 🔍 Technical Debt and Improvements

#### Identified Areas for Future Enhancement
1. **XML parsing**: Consider using a more robust XML library for CalDAV responses
2. **Timezone database**: Integrate with tz database for better timezone validation
3. **Error recovery**: Add fallback mechanisms for timezone parsing failures
4. **Memory optimization**: Optimize large calendar processing with timezone data

#### Code Quality Improvements

## Build and Development

### 1. **Development Setup**
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone ssh://git@gitea.soliverez.com.ar/alvaro/caldavpuller.git
cd caldavpuller

# Install Rust toolchain
rustup update stable
rustup component add rustfmt clippy

# Build in development mode
cargo build

# Run tests
cargo test

# Check formatting
cargo fmt --check

# Run linter
cargo clippy -- -D warnings
```

### 2. **Release Build**
```bash
# Build optimized release
cargo build --release

# Create distribution archive
tar -czf caldav-sync-${VERSION}-${TARGET}.tar.gz \
    -C target/release caldav-sync \
    -C ../config example.toml \
    -C .. README.md LICENSE
```

### 3. **Testing with Mock Servers**
For testing without real CalDAV servers, use the mock server setup:
```bash
# Start mock CalDAV server
cargo run --bin mock-server

# Run integration tests against mock server
cargo test --test integration_tests
```

This architecture provides a solid foundation for the CalDAV synchronization tool while maintaining flexibility for future enhancements.
