cal_to_md.swift
Swift script to fetch today's events, and output them to a markdown list with Obsidian-style links to notes [[]].
My primary use case is to output this list once a day and put them in my markdown notes, so if I want to keep individual meeting or appointment notes, I can use Obsidian to easily create the note tied to an event.
Usage
# Output default
./cal_to_md.swift
# Output with event names surrounded in wiki-link brackets
WIKI_LINK=true ./cal_to_md.swift
# Output with a mermaidjs gantt chart above the list of events
GANTT_CHART=true ./cal_to_md.swift
# Output the gantt chart, as well as use wiki-links to surround events in the list
WIKI_LINK=true GANTT_CHART=true ./cal_to_md.swiftExample Output:
- `12:00 AM - 12:00 AM` [[2021-11-21 - Amy Frank's 30th Birthday]]
- `08:00 AM - 09:15 AM` [[2021-11-21 - Finance call]]
- `12:00 PM - 01:00 AM` [[2021-11-21 - Lunch]]
