* Add implementation plan for calendar ICS helpers and recurring event dialog This plan addresses two issues with calendar event drag persistence: 1. ICS data inconsistency - currently only cached fields are updated, not the underlying ICS data. Plan includes a new ics-event-helpers.ts module with functions to create, update, and modify ICS data. 2. Missing recurring event handling - no dialog asking whether to modify this occurrence or all occurrences. Plan includes a confirmation dialog component and integration with the drag persistence flow. * Implement ICS helpers and recurring event dialog for calendar events This change ensures calendar event modifications properly update the underlying ICS data, not just the cached recurrenceStart/recurrenceEnd fields. New files: - ics-event-helpers.ts: Centralized helpers for ICS manipulation - createICSString: Create new ICS events from scratch - updateEventTimes: Update DTSTART/DTEND in existing ICS - createRecurrenceException: Create EXDATE + exception event - updateRecurringEventTimes: Shift entire recurring series - isRecurringEvent/getRecurrenceInfo: Query recurrence status - recurring-event-dialog.ts: Dialog asking "this occurrence only" vs "all occurrences" when modifying recurring events Modified files: - mailspring-calendar.tsx: Updated _persistDragChange to use ICS helpers and show recurring event dialog. Added separate methods for simple event changes, single occurrence exceptions, and all-occurrences updates. Undo/redo now properly restores ICS data. - calendar-event-popover.tsx: Updated saveEdits to use ICS helpers and handle recurring events with the same dialog flow. - mailspring-exports.js/d.ts: Export ICSEventHelpers module Fixes the issue where dragging events appeared to move them but the underlying ICS data was not updated, causing sync inconsistencies. * Add remaining work plan for calendar ICS implementation Documents the prioritized list of remaining issues identified during code review, including: - High: recurring event deletion, quick event ICS generation, undo fix - Medium: deprecated lifecycle, race conditions, timezone handling - Low: validation, null checks, localization Includes implementation details and recommended order of work. * Add ICS generation, recurring deletion dialog, and fix deprecated lifecycle Three improvements to calendar event handling: 1. Quick Event Creation (quick-event-popover.tsx): - Now generates proper ICS data using ICSEventHelpers.createICSString() - Sets ics and icsuid fields on new Event models - Exported generateUID() from ics-event-helpers.ts 2. Recurring Event Deletion (mailspring-calendar.tsx): - Added recurring event dialog to _onDeleteSelectedEvents - "This occurrence only" adds EXDATE to master event - "All occurrences" deletes the entire series - Added addExclusionDate() helper to ics-event-helpers.ts - Split deletion logic into _deleteEvent, _deleteOccurrence, _deleteEntireEvent 3. React Lifecycle Fix (mailspring-calendar.tsx): - Changed deprecated componentWillMount to componentDidMount - Improves React 18 compatibility * Improve timezone handling and add validation in ICS helpers Timezone improvements: - createICALTime now properly preserves timezone from original events - Uses convertToZone for correct timezone conversion instead of just attaching zone after creation - formatDateOnly now uses local date (not UTC) for all-day events to prevent off-by-one day errors - createICSString now accepts optional timezone parameter - createRecurrenceException preserves master event's timezone Validation improvements: - Added validateTimestamps helper to check for valid positive numbers - Validates that end time is not before start time - Added null checks for VEVENT component in all functions that need it - Functions now throw descriptive errors for malformed ICS Also renamed formatDateTime to formatDateTimeUTC for clarity. * Replace any types with proper TypeScript interfaces and extract recurring event utility - Add UndoBlock interface to UndoRedoStore with public queueUndoBlock method - Export UndoBlock from mailspring-exports for external use - Replace `any[]` attendees type with EventAttendee interface - Fix HTMLMetaElement cast in extractNotesFromDescription - Add proper types to EventAttendeesInput props and methods - Create recurring-event-actions.ts shared utility with: - modifySimpleEvent: Update non-recurring events - createOccurrenceException: Create exception for single occurrence - modifyAllOccurrences: Shift entire recurring series - modifyEventWithRecurringSupport: Main entry point with dialog handling - Refactor mailspring-calendar.tsx to use shared utility (removes ~90 lines) - Refactor calendar-event-popover.tsx to use shared utility (removes ~70 lines) - Remove duplicate recurring event handling code from both components * Use task-based undo for calendar events instead of custom UndoBlock Following the established pattern from SyncbackMetadataTask, this change enhances SyncbackEventTask to support undo by storing original event data: - Add undoData and taskDescription attributes to SyncbackEventTask - Add canBeUndone getter that returns true when undoData is provided - Implement createUndoTask() that swaps current/original state (like redo) - Update forUpdating() to accept undoData and description parameters Update recurring-event-actions.ts to use task-based undo: - Capture event snapshot before modifications - Pass undoData to SyncbackEventTask.forUpdating() calls - Pass description for undo toast display Remove custom UndoBlock from UndoRedoStore: - Remove exported UndoBlock interface - Remove queueUndoBlock method - Keep internal UndoBlock type for task-based undo Update mailspring-calendar.tsx: - Remove manual _registerUndoAction method - Update keyboard handler to pass undoData to task - Update drag handler to pass description to shared utility - Undo is now automatically handled by UndoRedoStore._onQueue This aligns with how other undoable tasks work (ChangeStarredTask, SyncbackMetadataTask) and removes the need for custom undo handling. * Add undo-redo task pattern documentation for future implementers - Create docs/undo-redo-task-pattern.md with comprehensive guide - Document toggle pattern (ChangeStarredTask) and snapshot pattern - Include implementation steps, anti-patterns, and related files - Update CLAUDE.md to reference the new documentation * Fix recurring event handling and undo/redo issues in calendar - Keyboard events (arrow keys) now show recurring event dialog like drag does - Single occurrence deletion now supports undo via undoData - Add newData snapshot to SyncbackEventTask for reliable redo - Override createIdenticalTask to use captured snapshots Fixes three PR review findings: 1. Arrow key changes bypassed recurring event dialog 2. _deleteOccurrence didn't pass undoData (not undoable) 3. Redo now uses captured snapshots instead of potentially stale event refs * Improve TypeScript typing and add user error feedback - Add type annotation to constructor props parameter - Show error dialogs when calendar operations fail (delete, keyboard move, drag) - Add documentation about Event.clone() deep clone requirement for undo/redo --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
