我正在构建一个需要支持重复事件的组日历应用程序,但我提出的处理这些事件的所有解决方案似乎都很简单。我可以限制一个人可以看多远的未来,然后一次性生成所有事件。或者,我可以将事件存储为重复的,并在日历上动态显示它们,但如果有人想更改事件的特定实例的细节,则必须将它们转换为正常事件。

我相信有更好的办法,但我还没找到。对重复发生的事件建模的最佳方法是什么?在这种方法中,您可以更改或删除特定事件实例的细节?

(我使用Ruby,但请不要让这限制了你的回答。如果有ruby特定的库或其他东西,那么最好知道。)


当前回答

如果你有一个没有结束日期的重复约会怎么办?虽然空间很便宜,但你没有无限的空间,所以解决方案2在那里是行不通的……

我建议,“没有结束日期”可以解决到本世纪末的结束日期。即使是日常活动,场地数量也很便宜。

我简单地实现了这个功能!逻辑如下,首先需要两个表。RuleTable存储一般或回收父事件。ItemTable存储周期事件。例如,当您创建一个循环事件时,开始时间为2015年11月6日,结束时间为12月6日(或永远),周期为一周。在RuleTable中插入数据,字段如下:

TableID: 1 Name: cycleA  
StartTime: 6 November 2014 (I kept thenumber of milliseconds),  
EndTime: 6 November 2015 (if it is repeated forever, and you can keep the value -1) 
Cycletype: WeekLy.

现在您想查询11月20日至12月20日的数据。你可以写一个函数RecurringEventBE(长开始,长结束),根据开始和结束的时间,WeekLy,你可以计算出你想要的集合,< cycleA11.20, cycleA 11.27, cycleA 12.4 ......>。 除了11月6日,其余时间我都称他为虚拟事件。当用户在之后更改虚拟事件的名称(例如cycleA11.27)时,您将数据插入ItemTable中。各字段如下:

TableID: 1 
Name, cycleB  
StartTime, 27 November 2014  
EndTime,November 6 2015  
Cycletype, WeekLy
Foreignkey, 1 (pointingto the table recycle paternal events).

在函数RecurringEventBE(长开始,长结束)中,使用此数据覆盖虚拟事件(cycleB11.27) 对不起,我的英语不好,我尽力了。

这是我的RecurringEventBE:

public static List<Map<String, Object>> recurringData(Context context,
        long start, long end) { // 重复事件的模板处理,生成虚拟事件(根据日期段)
     long a = System.currentTimeMillis();
    List<Map<String, Object>> finalDataList = new ArrayList<Map<String, Object>>();

    List<Map<String, Object>> tDataList = BillsDao.selectTemplateBillRuleByBE(context); //RuleTable,just select recurringEvent
    for (Map<String, Object> iMap : tDataList) {

        int _id = (Integer) iMap.get("_id");
        long bk_billDuedate = (Long) iMap.get("ep_billDueDate"); // 相当于事件的开始日期 Start
        long bk_billEndDate = (Long) iMap.get("ep_billEndDate"); // 重复事件的截止日期 End
        int bk_billRepeatType = (Integer) iMap.get("ep_recurringType"); // recurring Type 

        long startDate = 0; // 进一步精确判断日记起止点,保证了该段时间断获取的数据不未空,减少不必要的处理
        long endDate = 0;

        if (bk_billEndDate == -1) { // 永远重复事件的处理

            if (end >= bk_billDuedate) {
                endDate = end;
                startDate = (bk_billDuedate <= start) ? start : bk_billDuedate; // 进一步判断日记起止点,这样就保证了该段时间断获取的数据不未空
            }

        } else {

            if (start <= bk_billEndDate && end >= bk_billDuedate) { // 首先判断起止时间是否落在重复区间,表示该段时间有重复事件
                endDate = (bk_billEndDate >= end) ? end : bk_billEndDate;
                startDate = (bk_billDuedate <= start) ? start : bk_billDuedate; // 进一步判断日记起止点,这样就保证了该段时间断获取的数据不未空
            }
        }

        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

        }

Keep track of a recurrence rule (probably based on iCalendar, per @Kris K.). This will include a pattern and a range (Every third Tuesday, for 10 occurrences). For when you want to edit/delete a specific occurrence, keep track of exception dates for the above recurrence rule (dates where the event doesn't occur as the rule specifies). If you deleted, that's all you need, if you edited, create another event, and give it a parent ID set to the main event. You can choose whether to include all of the main event's information in this record, or if it only holds the changes and inherits everything that doesn't change.

请注意,如果允许不终止的递归规则,则必须考虑如何显示现在无限多的信息。

希望有帮助!

您可能想要查看iCalendar软件实现或标准本身(RFC 2445 RFC 5545)。 很快想到的是Mozilla项目http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/,快速搜索也会显示http://icalendar.rubyforge.org/。

可以考虑其他选项,这取决于您将如何存储事件。您正在构建自己的数据库模式吗?使用基于icalendar的软件,等等?

将事件存储为重复事件并动态地显示它们,但是允许重复事件包含特定事件的列表,这些事件可以覆盖特定日期的默认信息。

当您查询重复发生的事件时,它可以检查当天的特定覆盖。

如果用户进行了更改,那么您可以询问他是希望更新所有实例(默认详细信息)还是仅更新当天(创建一个新的特定事件并将其添加到列表中)。

如果用户要求删除此事件的所有递归,您还可以获得详细信息列表,并可以轻松删除它们。

唯一有问题的情况是用户想要更新这个事件和所有未来的事件。在这种情况下,你必须把重复发生的事件分成两部分。此时,您可能需要考虑以某种方式链接重复发生的事件,以便将它们全部删除。

我开发了多个基于日历的应用程序,还编写了一组支持递归的可重用JavaScript日历组件。我写了一篇关于如何设计递归式的概述这可能对一些人有帮助。虽然有一些建议是针对我所编写的库的,但所提供的绝大多数建议都适用于任何日历实现。

以下是一些要点:

Store recurrence using the iCal RRULE format -- that's one wheel you really don't want to reinvent Do NOT store individual recurring event instances as rows in your database! Always store a recurrence pattern. There are many ways to design your event/exception schema, but a basic starting point example is provided All date/time values should be stored in UTC and converted to local for display The end date stored for a recurring event should always be the end date of the recurrence range (or your platform's "max date" if recurring "forever") and the event duration should be stored separately. This is to ensure a sane way of querying for events later. Read the linked article for more details about this. Some discussion around generating event instances and recurrence editing strategies is included

这是一个非常复杂的话题,有很多很多有效的方法来实现它。我要说的是,我实际上已经成功地实现了几次递归,并且我会谨慎地从那些没有实际使用过递归的人那里获得建议。
