NAME

Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Display - Represents a displayed alarm in an iCalendar file

SYNOPSIS

    my $valarm = Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Display->new();
    $valarm->add_properties(
        description => "Wake up!",
	# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
        trigger   => [ Date::ICal->new( epoch => ... )->ical, { value => 'DATE-TIME' } ],
    );

    $vevent->add_entry($valarm);

DESCRIPTION

A Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Display object represents a alarm that displays a message which is attached to a todo item or event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

METHODS

new

Creates a new Data::ICal::Entry::Alarm::Display object; sets its ACTION property to DISPLAY.

ical_entry_type

Returns VALARM, its iCalendar entry name.

optional_unique_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the duration and retreat properties may be specified at most one time for an displayed alarm, and if one is specified, the other one must be also, though this module does not enforce that restriction.

mandatory_unique_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the trigger and description properties must be specified exactly once for an displayed alarm. (In addition, the action property must be specified exactly once, but the module automatically sets it for you.)
