Contributing

First you need to clone the repo and

Build

npm run build

or

yarn build

Test

to run tests locally, you need to setup environnement variables using .env file from .env.example

mv .env.example .env

and fill in the missing values

If you didn't add any new api, you should set MOCK_FETCH="true". If you added new api and need to test against cloud providers, you should set MOCK_FETCH="false" and RECORD_NETWORK_REQUESTS="true" to updated network request mock data.

WEBDAV quick guide

WEBDAV uses xml for all its data when communicating, the basic element is object, multiple objects can form a collection, webdav server have accounts and an account have a principal resource (i.e the default, main resource) and under that principal resource we have home set of the said resource where your actual resources are.

syncToken and ctag are basically like hash of the object/collection, if anything in it changes, this token will change.

For caldav, the calendar data in caldav are in rfc5545 ical format, there's iCal2Js and js2iCal function with my other project pretty-jcal to help your convert them from/to js objects.

Here's cheat sheet on webdav operations compared with rest:

Operation	Webdav	REST
Create collection	predefined id: MKCOL /entities/$predefined_id no predefined id: not possible can set attributes right away with extended-mkcol extension Status: 201 Created	POST /entities with JSON body with attributes, response contains new id Status: 200 with new id and optionally the whole object
Create entity	predefined id: PUT /entities/$predefined_id with body, empty response no predefined id: POST /entities, receive id as part of Content-Location header can't set attributes right away, need subsequent PROPPATCH Status: 201 Created
Update entity body	PUT /entities/$predefined_id with new body (no attributes) Status: 204 No Content	Full: PUT /entities/$id with full JSON body with attributes Status 200, receive full object back Partial: PATCH /entities/$id with partial JSON containing only attributes to update. Status 200, full/partial object returned
Update entity attributes	PROPPATCH /entities/$id with XML body of attributes to change Status: 207, XML body with accepted attributes
Delete entity	DELETE /entities/$id Sattus: 204 no content
List entities	PROPFIND /entities with XML body of attributes to fetch Status 207 multi-status XML response with multiple entities and their respective attributes	GET /entities Status: 200 OK, receive JSON response array with JSON body of entity attributes
Get entity	GET /entities/$id Status: 200 OK with entitiy body	GET /entities/$id Status 200 OK, receive JSON body of entity attributes
Get entity attributes	PROPFIND /entities/$id with XML body of attributes to fetch Status 207 multi-status XML response with entity attributes
Notes	cannot always set attributes right away at creation time, need subsequent PROPPATCH	no concept of body vs attributes entity can be either collection or model (for collection /entities/$collectionId/$itemId)
