Create Collections

Laravel DAV does not auto-create default calendars or address books. Create collections when it makes sense for your application, usually when an owner is created.

Calendar

Section titled “Calendar”
$calendar = $user->createDavCalendar([
    'uri' => 'personal',
    'display_name' => 'Personal',
    'color' => '#3b82f6',
    'components' => ['VEVENT', 'VTODO'],
]);

Address book

Section titled “Address book”
$addressBook = $user->createDavAddressBook([
    'uri' => 'personal',
    'display_name' => 'Contacts',
]);

Use stable, URL-safe uri values. Existing clients may keep references to collection URLs after their first sync.

The owner helpers require the owner model to use Bambamboole\LaravelDav\Models\Concerns\HasDavCollections. You can still use the models directly, but the helpers create the required owner calendar instance and keep the collection shape consistent.
