The gem's readme is scarce, so you have to look in the source code.
After creating an oauth token, as described in the readme, you need to call create_event with the token, event json payload, calendar folder (nil for default calendar) and the email of the user who would be the owner of the event:
require 'ruby_outlook'
outlook_client = RubyOutlook::Client.new
# ...
# create oauth token, as described in the readme
# ...
event_payload =
{
"Subject": "Discuss the Calendar REST API",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "I think it will meet our requirements!"
},
"Start": {
"DateTime": "2014-02-02T18:00:00",
"TimeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"
},
"End": {
"DateTime": "2014-02-02T19:00:00",
"TimeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"
},
"Attendees": [
{
"EmailAddress": {
"Address": "john#example.com",
"Name": "John Doe"
},
"Type": "Required"
}
]
}
outlook_client.create_event(token, event_payload, nil, 'john#example.com')
Here's the relevant Outlook API documentation for creating events. This is where I took the event payload.
