|
|
|
|
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`)

|
|
- **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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### **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
|
|
|
