ruby on rails - All day event icalendar gem -

i using below setup event export ical icalendar gem.

@calendar = icalendar::calendar.new  event = icalendar::event.new event.dtstart = ev.start_at.strftime("%y%m%d") event.dtend = ev.end_at.strftime("%y%m%d") event.summary = ev.summary  @calendar.add 

in order make event day needs this:

dtstart;value=date:20101117 dtend;value=date:20101119 

right using

event.dtstart = "$value=date:"+ev.start_at.strftime("%y%m%d")" 

this output

dtstart:$value=date:20101117 

and replace ":$" ";" with

@allday = @calendar.to_ical.gsub(":$", ";") 

is there more direct way save dates day?

i played around , figured out 1 way. can assign properties event dates, in form of key-value pairs. assign value property so:

event = icalendar::event.new event.dtstart = date.new(2010,12,1) event.dtstart.ical_params = { "value" => "date" } puts event.to_ical  # output begin:vevent dtstamp:20101201t230134 dtstart;value=date:20101201 sequence:0 uid:2010-12-01t23:01:34-08:00_923426206@ubuntu end:vevent 

now fun part. given calendar can create event , pass in block initializes date properties:

calendar.event   dtstart date.new(2010,11,17), ical_params = {"value"=>"date"}   dtend date.new(2010,11,19), ical_params = {"value"=>"date"} end
