High Fidelity Calendar

This app lets you integrate with the Google Calendar API to query meeting room schedules.

Setup Instructions

1. Setup hiFiCalendar.html by copying it to the top level of your C:/ drive and opening a powershell window. Type the following command and press enter, http-server -p 80 (You must have Node.js installed).
2. In Google's console API, setup credentials to get an API Key, Client ID, and Client Secret to paste in hiFiCalendar.html (WARNING: DO NOT SHARE THESE OR POST THEM IN A PUBLIC PLACE). Define your permitted access locations to include http://localhost under Domain Verification.

        // Client ID and API key from the Developer Console
        var CLIENT_ID = '';
        var CLIENT_SECRET = '';
        var API_KEY = '';

3. Copy the calendar IDs into the html file from your Google Calendar, they'll look something like this:

        YourGoogleDomain123456789@resource.calendar.google.com

4. In Interface, create a "Text" entity with the same name you've given your calendar. Paste the server script URL into the serverScript field in Entity Properties.
5. Create another "Text" entity and name it the calendar name followed by _SCHEDULE. Paste an empty serverscript URL onto this entity as well. Additionally, copy the UUID of this entity and paste it as the parentID for the entity in Step 4.
6. Drag and drop the hiFiCalendar_app.js onto your interface window to run it. Open the app and authorize it with your Google Account information.
7. Currently, you must leave the app window open to keep the calendar entities up to date.
