Add support for calendar-style recurring datetimes to Interval
This would permit expressing intervals like "the third Sunday of every month"
Dear bitwalker, I am implementing recurring events for a phoenix project using timex. Is this the right place to ask you about your thoughts on future compatibility? I basically follow the iCalendar feature set currently.
Yes definitely :), feel free to post your thoughts/questions here and we can discuss the implementation
Just wondering how progression of this feature has been going. I've been trying to implement a similar thing to find the 2nd Saturday of each month, and I'd rather use Timex to do that, but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it either....
Ah, I forgot about this there.
I could give it a go, have code around here somewhere.
But I am not so sure anymore timex is the place this should be in.
What are your thoughts by now bitwalker?
I'd love to see this. I started using the recurring_events library, but soon discovered that it does not handle DST transitions at all because it doesn't have any real awareness of time zones or daylight saving time (https://github.com/pbogut/recurring_events/issues/14).
If the goal is to have an event that repeats "at 3am every day", that should be done in a way that respects DST transitions in the timezone. Or at least there should be an option to do so, because I can understand there may be cases where this is not desirable.
