[[GoogleCalendar-GoogleCalendarComponent]]
GoogleCalendar Component
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Available as of Camel 2.15*

[[GoogleCalendar-ComponentDescription]]
Component Description
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Google Calendar component provides access
to http://google.com/calendar[Google Calendar] via
the https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/[Google
Calendar Web APIs].

Google Calendar uses
the https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2[OAuth 2.0
protocol] for authenticating a Google account and authorizing access to
user data. Before you can use this component, you will need
to https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/auth[create an
account and generate OAuth credentials]. Credentials comprise of a
clientId, clientSecret, and a refreshToken. A handy resource for
generating a long-lived refreshToken is
the https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground[OAuth playground].

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:

----------------------------------------------------------
    <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
            <artifactId>camel-google-calendar</artifactId>
            <version>2.15.0</version>
    </dependency>
        
----------------------------------------------------------

[[GoogleCalendar-options]]
1. Google Calendar Options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^




// component options: START
The Google Calendar component supports 2 options which are listed below.



{% raw %}
[width="100%",cols="2,1m,7",options="header"]
|=======================================================================
| Name | Java Type | Description
| configuration | GoogleCalendarConfiguration | To use the shared configuration
| clientFactory | GoogleCalendarClientFactory | To use the GoogleCalendarClientFactory as factory for creating the client. Will by default use BatchGoogleCalendarClientFactory
|=======================================================================
{% endraw %}
// component options: END








// endpoint options: START
The Google Calendar component supports 16 endpoint options which are listed below:

{% raw %}
[width="100%",cols="2,1,1m,1m,5",options="header"]
|=======================================================================
| Name | Group | Default | Java Type | Description
| apiName | common |  | GoogleCalendarApiName | *Required* What kind of operation to perform
| methodName | common |  | String | *Required* What sub operation to use for the selected operation
| accessToken | common |  | String | OAuth 2 access token. This typically expires after an hour so refreshToken is recommended for long term usage.
| applicationName | common |  | String | Google calendar application name. Example would be camel-google-calendar/1.0
| clientId | common |  | String | Client ID of the calendar application
| clientSecret | common |  | String | Client secret of the calendar application
| emailAddress | common |  | String | The emailAddress of the Google Service Account.
| inBody | common |  | String | Sets the name of a parameter to be passed in the exchange In Body
| p12FileName | common |  | String | The name of the p12 file which has the private key to use with the Google Service Account.
| refreshToken | common |  | String | OAuth 2 refresh token. Using this the Google Calendar component can obtain a new accessToken whenever the current one expires - a necessity if the application is long-lived.
| scopes | common | https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar | List | Specifies the level of permissions you want a calendar application to have to a user account. See https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/auth for more info.
| user | common |  | String | The email address of the user the application is trying to impersonate in the service account flow
| bridgeErrorHandler | consumer | false | boolean | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages or the likes will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
| exceptionHandler | consumer (advanced) |  | ExceptionHandler | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this options is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
| exchangePattern | consumer (advanced) |  | ExchangePattern | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.
| synchronous | advanced | false | boolean | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).
|=======================================================================
{% endraw %}
// endpoint options: END


[[GoogleCalendar-URIFormat]]
URI Format
^^^^^^^^^^

The GoogleCalendar Component uses the following URI format:

------------------------------------------------------------
        google-calendar://endpoint-prefix/endpoint?[options]
    
------------------------------------------------------------

Endpoint prefix can be one of:

* acl
* calendars
* channels
* colors
* events
* freebusy
* list
* settings

[[GoogleCalendar-ProducerEndpoints]]
Producer Endpoints
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Producer endpoints can use endpoint prefixes followed by endpoint names
and associated options described next. A shorthand alias can be used for
some endpoints. The endpoint URI MUST contain a prefix.

Endpoint options that are not mandatory are denoted by []. When there
are no mandatory options for an endpoint, one of the set of [] options
MUST be provided. Producer endpoints can also use a special option
*`inBody`* that in turn should contain the name of the endpoint option
whose value will be contained in the Camel Exchange In message.

Any of the endpoint options can be provided in either the endpoint URI,
or dynamically in a message header. The message header name must be of
the format `CamelGoogleCalendar.<option>`. Note that the `inBody` option
overrides message header, i.e. the endpoint option `inBody=option` would
override a `CamelGoogleCalendar.option` header.


[[GoogleCalendar-ConsumerEndpoints]]
Consumer Endpoints
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any of the producer endpoints can be used as a consumer endpoint.
Consumer endpoints can use
http://camel.apache.org/polling-consumer.html#PollingConsumer-ScheduledPollConsumerOptions[Scheduled
Poll Consumer Options] with a `consumer.` prefix to schedule endpoint
invocation. Consumer endpoints that return an array or collection will
generate one exchange per element, and their routes will be executed
once for each exchange.

[[GoogleCalendar-MessageHeaders]]
Message Headers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any URI option can be provided in a message header for producer
endpoints with a `CamelGoogleCalendar.` prefix.

[[GoogleCalendar-MessageBody]]
Message Body
^^^^^^^^^^^^

All result message bodies utilize objects provided by the underlying
APIs used by the GoogleCalendarComponent. Producer endpoints can specify
the option name for incoming message body in the `inBody` endpoint URI
parameter. For endpoints that return an array or collection, a consumer
endpoint will map every element to distinct messages.
