Getting started #
This library utilizes timezone to support timezone-based DateTime (TZDateTime),
so make sure you follow the instruction their for initializing the location database. For short:
import 'package:timezone/data/latest_10y.dart';
...
initializeTimeZones();

By default, the library will using the standard alone version of the library.
Add this library to your pubspec.yaml
dart pub add teno-rrule

And you are good to go!
Usage #
Create Recurrence Rule instance from code:
final rrule = RecurrenceRule(
frequency: Frequency.weekly,
startDate: DateTime(1997, 9, 2, 9, 0, 0),
byWeekDays: {WeekDay.monday, WeekDay.wednesday, WeekDay.friday});
copied to clipboard
Get its recurrence by
final instances = rrule.between(DateTime(1997, 9, 2, 9), DateTime(1997, 10, 2, 9));
// gets: 1997-09-03 09:00:00.000, 1997-09-05 09:00:00.000, ... 1997-10-01 09:00:00.000
copied to clipboard
end range is exclusive.
Parse from string
final rruleString = 'DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19970902T090000\n'
'RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=2';
final rrule = RecurrenceRule.from(rruleString);
copied to clipboard

You need to initialize the Location database before parsing from string with TZID, otherwise it will throw exception!

To use with timezone, you first need to initialize location database at getting start section
final rrule = RecurrenceRule(
frequency: Frequency.daily,
count: 10,
isLocal: false,
startDate: TZDateTime(getLocation('America/New_York'), 1997, 9, 2, 9));
copied to clipboard
By default, isLocal = true, means it won't care about the timezone in startDate and treats everything as local time.
To use with timezone, please set this flag to false.
To specify the first day of week
final rrule = RecurrenceRule(
frequency: Frequency.weekly,
count: 10,
weekStart: DateTime.sunday,
byWeekDays: {WeekDay.tuesday, WeekDay.thursday},
startDate: DateTime(1997, 9, 2, 9));
copied to clipboard
by default, WKST will take the value of firstDayOfWeek from teno_datetime, so you can:

Override the WKST by setting value to property weekStart
Override globally by setting value to firstDayOfWeek, for ex:

firstDayOfWeek = DateTime.saturday;
copied to clipboard
To select the n occurrence of day
final rrule = RecurrenceRule(
frequency: Frequency.monthly,
interval: 2,
count: 10,
byWeekDays: {
WeekDay.sunday.withOccurrence(1), // or WeekDay(DateTime.sunday, 1)
WeekDay.sunday.withOccurrence(-1) // or WeekDay(DateTime.sunday, -1)
},
isLocal: false,
startDate:
TZDateTime(getLocation('America/New_York'), 1997, 09, 07, 9));
copied to clipboard
To exclude a date (EXDATE rule)
final rrule = RecurrenceRule(
frequency: Frequency.monthly,
byMonthDays: {13},
byWeekDays: {WeekDay.friday},
isLocal: false,
startDate:
TZDateTime(getLocation('America/New_York'), 1997, 09, 02, 9),
excludedDates: {
TZDateTime(getLocation('America/New_York'), 1997, 09, 02, 9)
});

final anotherRRule = rrule.copyWith(interval: 5, count: 5);
