Exports

Laravel DAV enables sabre/dav’s iCalendar and vCard export plugins.

Export a calendar collection by appending ?export to the calendar URL:

GET /dav/calendars/{owner}/{calendar}/?export

The response is a merged text/calendar download containing the calendar’s stored iCalendar objects.

Calendar exports accept sabre/dav’s query options:

Option	Description
start	Unix timestamp lower bound for exported events.
end	Unix timestamp upper bound for exported events.
expand	Expand recurring events. Requires start and end.
accept=jcal	Return jCal instead of iCalendar.
componentType	Filter to a component type such as VEVENT or VTODO.

When start, end, or expand is used, sabre exports only VEVENT data for that filtered response.

Export an address book collection the same way:

GET /dav/addressbooks/{owner}/{addressBook}/?export

The response is a text/directory download containing the stored vCards.

Exports use the same HTTP Basic credentials and ACL checks as normal DAV reads. They are useful for backups, clients that can subscribe to .ics URLs but do not speak CalDAV, and one-off address book downloads.
