A Scriptable widget that shows upcoming calendar events to mimic the built-in Calendar widget, with some modifications.

// These must be at the very top of the file. Do not edit.
// icon-color: red; icon-glyph: calendar-alt;

// This widget was created by Max Zeryck @mzeryck

// Note: before using this script in a widget, change const TEST_MODE to true and run it in the Scriptable app.
// The app will prompt you to give calendar access, and then show a preview of the widget.
// Make sure to change it back to const TEST_MODE = false prior to adding it to a widget. Happy coding!

@Johnnyt12 You could change it to const events = await CalendarEvent.thisWeek([])

Possible to make it localized?!
Add locale code.

Hey Max, your widget is really good!!! However, I have problems at "weather calendar widget builder” and always get the following hint:

2020-11-08 17:09:55: Error on line 769:51: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'weatherDataRaw.current.temp')

Can you help meines me?

I’m looking forward to a feedback.

Ditto.

@Augustus88 @FijianCoconut In order for the widget to work, you need an API key from OpenWeather. You just need to sign up for a free account using this link. Then, you'll get the API key (it looks like a bunch of random letters and numbers). Depending on which version of the script you're using, you'll see apiKey = "" at the top - just paste the key in between the quotation marks, like this: apiKey = "abcdefgh"

Hi @mzerck, thanks for this code but do you know if we can change the temperature units and go from ° F to ° C? And how not to put a background to see that the wallpaper ? thank you so much

@baelfire33 I'm guessing you are using Weather Cal, rather than this calendar script? In Weather Cal, you can change the units to "metric" (instead of imperial) to get ° C. For a transparent background, use Widget Blur to export an image, and then use that image as the background of the widget.

thank you so much ! Do you have a solution for switching from light mode to dark mode with the image behind, even without dynamic image change?

@baelfire33 Sorry I always forget to check comments on my Gists! I don't have a solution yet, but I'm hoping that during my vacation this week I can work on it.

Hi, how to show TODAY all day events?
