A pure and efficient Rust implementation of recurrence rules as defined in the iCalendar RFC.
This crate follows the iCalendar (RFC-5545) specification for the "Recurrence Rule".
The Recurrence Rule spec corresponds to the RRule
object in this crate.
In addition, it allows for adding the "DTSTART" property separated by a newline.
The crate allows for a "BYEASTER" filter. But this is opt-in with the feature flag "by-easter"
.
RRuleSet
allows for a combination for RRule
s and some other properties.
A ∪ B
)A ∪ B
)A \ B
or A - B
)A \ B
or A - B
)Note: "EXRULE" was originally part of RFC 2445, RFC 5545 obsoletes this specification. But "EXRULE" works exactly the same als "RRULE" except that it excludes dates. You can enable "EXRULE" by enabling the "exrule" feature flag which is disabled by default.
If you notice that the implementation differs from the specifications above, please open an issue.
use rrule::RRuleSet;
// RRule that starts 2012.02.01 and occurs daily for 3 days.
let rrule: RRuleSet = "DTSTART:20120201T093000Z\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=3".parse().unwrap();
// Set hard limit in case of infinitely recurring rules.
let limit = 100;
// Get all recurrences of the rrule
let result = rrule.all(limit);
assert_eq!(result.dates.len(), 3);
See more examples at docs.rs
Install the command line tool with:
cargo install rrule --features="cli-tool"
Then run it with:
rrule "DTSTART:20120201T093000Z\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=3"
You should read the security docs if you use arbitrary inputs from users for constructing the recurrence rules.
All dates are limited to the range or years +/-262_0001 because of Chrono limits. See Chrono's limits for more info.
Supported timezones are limited to by the timezones that Chrono-Tz supports. This is equivalent to the IANA database. See Chrono-Tz's limits for more info.
Because the specifications do give a lot of flexibilities this can be abused very easily.
In order to prevent most of the abuse we've imposed arbitrary limitation when on the RRuleSet::all
method. The validation limits aren't enforced for the RRuleSet::all_unchecked
method or when
using the Iterator
api directly.
Limitations:
Description | Arbitrary Limit | Crate Limit |
---|---|---|
Year range | -10_000..=10_000 | -262_000..=262_000 (Chrono) |
Max interval with freq Yearly | 10_000 (10000 years) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Monthly | 1_000 (~83 years) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Weekly | 1_000 (~19 years) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Daily | 10_000 (~27 years) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Hourly | 10_000 (~416 days) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Minutely | 10_000 (~7 days) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Max interval with freq Secondly | 50_000 (~13 hours) | 65_535 (u16::MAX) |
Iteration limit | 100_000 | 4_294_967_295 (u32::MAX) |
By default, the "Arbitrary Limit" is used. If you instead want to use the "Crate Limit". Make sure you understand the risks that come with this.
