       Data::ICal::Entry::Event - Represents an event in an iCalendar file

SYNOPSIS

           my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event->new();
           $vevent->add_properties(
               summary => "my party",
               description => "I'll cry if I want to",
               # Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
               dtstart   => Date::ICal->new( epoch => time )->ical,
           );

           $calendar->add_entry($vevent);

           $vevent->add_entry($alarm);

DESCRIPTION

       A Data::ICal::Entry::Event object represents a single event in an iCalendar file.  (Note
       that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".)  It is a subclass of
       Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

METHODS

   ical_entry_type
       Returns "VEVENT", its iCalendar entry name.

   mandatory_unique_properties
       The "uid" property is mandatory if "rfc_strict" was passed to "new" in Data::ICal.

   optional_unique_properties
       According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified at most one
       time for an event:

               class  created  description  dtstart  geo
               last-modified  location  organizer  priority
               dtstamp  sequence  status  summary  transp
               uid  url  recurrence-id

       In addition, "dtend" and "duration" may be specified at most once each, but not both in
       the same entry (though this restriction is not enforced).

       Or if "vcal10 => 1":

               class dcreated completed description dtstart dtend
               last-modified location rnum priority
               sequence status summary transp
               url uid

   optional_repeatable_properties
       According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified any number
       of times for an event:

               attach  attendee  categories  comment
               contact  exdate  exrule  request-status  related-to
               resources  rdate  rrule

       Or if "vcal10 => 1":

               aalarm  attach  attendee  categories
               dalarm  exdate  exrule  malarm  palarm  related-to
               resources  rdate  rrule

SEE ALSO

       Data::ICal::DateTime
           For date parsing and formatting, including denoting "all day" events, considering
           using this module. Because it's a "mix in", you can still use all the methods here as
           well as the new date handling methods it defines.
