React Google Calendar
React Google Calendar is an implementation of react-big-calendar that pulls events from multiple Google calendars and reformats them for display. It also allows for many kinds of reoccuring events, such as daily, weekly, and monthly.

Reoccuring event algorithms
Accounting for all the various ways events can reoccur is a huge undertaking and there are many we missed. Right now we support the following:
- single events
- daily events (e.g. every day, every n days)
- weekly events (e.g. every Monday)
- monthly events by date (e.g. first of the month)
- monthy events by day (e.g. first Friday)
If you find an edge case that isn't supported, raise an issue, or create a fork and write your own solution.
