- Any one of the fields
end
,duration
, orallDay
is required. - The allowed units in
duration
are listed here: https://day.js.org/docs/en/durations/creating#list-of-all-available-units. - The
url
field defaults todocument.URL
if a globaldocument
object exists. For server-side rendering, you should supply theurl
manually. Not all calendars support theguests
andurl
fields. - If you don't pass the start and end time in UTC, Google will convert it to UTC but Outlook won't, so it's a good idea to use UTC when passing dates and times
- There are some known issues in Office 365 because of which we can't generate a consistent link in all devices (#542)
This package uses URLSearchParams (Node.js >= 10, 97%+ browsers), but if you need to include a polyfill, you can include url-search-params-polyfill first.
