Deleting events in Google Calander API
Solution 1:
To delete an event just call the delete method. The following code can be found on the Node.js GitHub repo for the Google API
delete: function (params, callback) {
var parameters = {
options: {
url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList/{calendarId}',
method: 'DELETE'
},
params: params,
requiredParams: ['calendarId'],
pathParams: ['calendarId'],
context: self
};
return createAPIRequest(parameters, callback);
}
From : https://github.com/google/google-api-nodejs-client/blob/b08ce4189e6b2efdc7cf3e7c3bdb3cbabb08da8c/apis/calendar/v3.js
If you wanted it as a function:
First get the eventId of the event you want to delete then call the method below with that eventId
function deleteEvent(eventId) {
var params = {
calendarId: 'primary',
eventId: eventId,
};
calendar.events.delete(params, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err);
return;
}
console.log('Event deleted.');
});
}
Solution 2:
I hope it helps someone with the same problem/question.
function deleteEvent(event_id) {
gapi.client.load('calendar', 'v3', function() {
var request = gapi.client.calendar.events.delete({
'calendarId': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'eventId': event_id
});
request.execute(function(response) {
if(response.error || response == false){
alert('Error');
}
else{
alert('Success');
}
});
});
}
