Overview

Microsoft Outlook Live (outlook.live.com) provider for generating calendar event URLs. This provider generates URLs that open the Outlook.com web calendar with a pre-filled event creation form. Supports both all-day and time-specific events.

Note: This is for personal Outlook.com accounts. For corporate Office 365, use the Office365 provider instead.

Examples:

Creating a regular event URL

event = CalInvite::Event.new(
  title: "Team Meeting",
  start_time: Time.now,
  end_time: Time.now + 3600,
  description: "Weekly team sync"
)
outlook = CalInvite::Providers::Outlook.new(event)
url = outlook.generate

Creating an all-day event URL with attendees

event = CalInvite::Event.new(
  title: "Company Holiday",
  all_day: true,
  start_time: Date.today,
  end_time: Date.today + 1,
  attendees: ["john@example.com", "jane@example.com"],
  show_attendees: true
)
url = CalInvite::Providers::Outlook.new(event).generate
