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。)

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。

您可以将事件存储为重复的，如果编辑了特定实例，则创建具有相同事件ID的新事件。然后，在查找事件时，搜索具有相同事件ID的所有事件以获得所有信息。我不确定您是否滚动了自己的事件库，或者您是否正在使用现有的事件库，因此可能无法实现。
From these answers, I've sort of sifted out a solution. I really like the idea of the link concept. Recurring events could be a linked list, with the tail knowing its recurrence rule. Changing one event would then be easy, because the links stay in place, and deleting an event is easy as well - you just unlink an event, delete it, and re-link the event before and after it. You still have to query recurring events every time someone looks at a new time period never been looked at before on the calendar, but otherwise this is pretty clean.
I would use a 'link' concept for all future recurring events. They are dynamically displayed in the calendar and link back to a single reference object. When events have taken place the link is broken and the event becomes a standalone instance. If you attempt to edit a recurring event then prompt to change all future items (i.e. change single linked reference) or change just that instance (in which case convert this to a standalone instance and then make change). The latter cased is slightly problematic as you need to keep track in your recurring list of all future events that were converted to single instance. But, this is entirely do-able.
因此，在本质上，有两类事件-单个实例和重复事件。
在javascript中:
处理重复的日程安排: http://bunkat.github.io/later/
处理这些计划之间的复杂事件和依赖关系: http://bunkat.github.io/schedule/
基本上，您创建规则，然后要求库计算接下来的N个重复事件(是否指定日期范围)。可以对规则进行解析/序列化，以便将它们保存到模型中。
如果您有一个重复发生的事件，并且只想修改其中一个重复发生的事件，您可以使用except()函数来取消特定的一天，然后为该条目添加一个新的修改过的事件。
库支持非常复杂的模式，时区，甚至croning事件。
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。
