Jekyll::Google::Calendar

A Jekyll plugin that generates pages for Google Calendar events fetched using the Google Calendar API. The event and calendar data is available through the page variable.

• page.event contains the data of the event resource
• page.calendar contains calendar information from the API response
• page.calendar_id contains the calendar ID for the Google Calendar

You must have a Google API service account key and this service account must have read access to the calendars you with to read.

Add this line to your Gemfile within the jekyll_plugins group.

gem 'jekyll-google-calendar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-google-calendar

Add jekyll-google-calendar to your _config.yml in the plugins array, eg:

plugins:
  - jekyll-feed
  - jekyll-google-calendar

Add the following configuration to your _config.yml, replacing the items in BLOCKCAPS with details for your own calendars.

gcalendar:
  key_file: PATH-TO-YOUR-GOOGLE-SERVICE-ACCOUNT-KEY.json
  calendars:
    - id: YOUR-CALENDAR-ID      # eg. blahblahblah12345678912345@group.calendar.google.com
      directory: events         # the directory in which to place geneated events
      layout: gc_event          # the Jekyll layout template to use for events
      date_format: "%d-%m-%Y"   # Uses Strftime formating directive (http://strftime.net/)
      look_ahead: 365           # 1 year in days

To use multiple calendars, add additional calendars to the calendars array following the pattern above.
