device_calendar_plus

A modern, federated Flutter plugin for reading and writing device calendar events on Android and iOS.

Note: This is the developer/contributor documentation. For plugin usage and API documentation, see the device_calendar_plus package README.

🏗️ Architecture

This is a federated plugin following Flutter's federated plugin architecture:

device_calendar_plus/
├── packages/
│   ├── device_calendar_plus/              # Main package (public API)
│   ├── device_calendar_plus_platform_interface/  # Platform interface
│   ├── device_calendar_plus_android/      # Android implementation
│   └── device_calendar_plus_ios/          # iOS implementation
└── example/                                # Example app & integration tests

Package Structure

• device_calendar_plus: The main package that app developers depend on. Contains the public Dart API and exports platform interface types.

• device_calendar_plus_platform_interface: Defines the interface that platform implementations must follow. Contains method signatures and data contracts.

• device_calendar_plus_android: Android-specific implementation using Kotlin and the Android Calendar Provider API.

• device_calendar_plus_ios: iOS-specific implementation using Swift and EventKit.

• example/: Example app demonstrating plugin usage, also contains integration tests.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Flutter SDK (latest stable)
• For iOS development: Xcode 15+
• For Android development: Android Studio with Android SDK 24+

Optional (but recommended):

• Very Good CLI: dart pub global activate very_good_cli - Makes running tests faster with optimized configuration

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/device_calendar_plus.git
cd device_calendar_plus

2. Install dependencies:

flutter pub get

This project uses Dart workspaces, so a single flutter pub get at the root will install dependencies for all packages.

🧪 Testing

Unit Tests

Run all unit tests across all packages using Very Good CLI (recommended):

very_good test --recursive

This will run tests in all /packages/*/test/ directories with optimized configuration.

Integration Tests

Integration tests are located in example/integration_test/ and test the plugin against real platform APIs.

Running on a Device/Emulator

From the example directory:

cd example
./run_integration_tests.sh <device-id>

Get the device ID from:

flutter devices

Platform-Specific Notes

iOS:

• Requires a simulator or physical device
• Calendar permissions will be requested during tests
• Tests create temporary calendars that are cleaned up

Android:

• Requires an emulator or physical device with API 24+
• Calendar permissions will be requested during tests
• Tests create temporary calendars that are cleaned up
