Insert a New Google Calendar Event

See more Google Calendar Examples

Demonstrates how to insert a new Google Calendar event. Rust

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Calendar scope.

// In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
let json_token = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json_token.load_file("qa_data/tokens/googleCalendar.json").is_ok();
if !json_token.has_member("access_token") {
    println!("No access token found.");
    return;
}

let http = chilkat::Http::new();
http.set_auth_token(&json_token.string_of("access_token").unwrap_or_default());

// Build a Google Calendar event:
let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
json.set_emit_compact(false);
let _ = json.update_string("kind", "calendar#event");
let _ = json.update_string("summary", "Eat Lou Malnati's Pizza");
let _ = json.update_string("start.dateTime", "2021-03-12T12:00:00-05:00");
let _ = json.update_string("end.dateTime", "2021-03-12T13:00:00-05:00");

println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// This is the event JSON we'll be sending the HTTP POST:

// {
//   "kind": "calendar#event",
//   "summary": "Eat Lou Malnati's Pizza",
//   "start": {
//     "dateTime": "2021-03-12T12:00:00-05:00"
//   },

//     "dateTime": "2021-03-12T13:00:00-05:00"
