# Android Calendar Screen Design
**Goal:** Build the Android Calendar screen — a month-strip + daily agenda view with full event CRUD (create, edit, delete) including a simple recurrence picker.
**Architecture:** `CalendarNotifier` (`AsyncNotifier<CalendarState>`) holds a `Map<DateTime, List<CalendarEvent>>` keyed by date-only values, selected day, focused month, and loaded date range. The screen uses `table_calendar` for the month strip and a `ListView` for the daily agenda. Create/edit/delete is handled by `EventFormSheet`, a scrollable modal bottom sheet. The existing `/api/events` backend is used unchanged.
**Tech Stack:** Flutter, Riverpod AsyncNotifier, Dio, GoRouter, `table_calendar` package

| `lib/screens/calendar/calendar_screen.dart` | Calendar screen UI (month strip + agenda) |
| `lib/screens/calendar/event_form_sheet.dart` | Create/edit modal bottom sheet |
### Modified
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `lib/providers/api_client_provider.dart` | Add `eventsApiProvider` |

## Data Model
### `CalendarEvent`
```dart
class CalendarEvent {
final int id;
final String title;
final DateTime startDt;
final DateTime? endDt;
final bool allDay;
final String description;
final String location;
final String color;
final String? recurrence; // raw RRULE string, e.g. "FREQ=WEEKLY"
final int? projectId;
final int? reminderMinutes;
}
```
`fromJson` maps: `id`, `title`, `start_dt` / `end_dt` (ISO string → `DateTime.parse`), `all_day`, `description`, `location`, `color`, `recurrence` (nullable), `project_id` (nullable), `reminder_minutes` (nullable).
Date normalization helper — used throughout to build map keys:
```dart
DateTime dateOnly(DateTime dt) => DateTime(dt.year, dt.month, dt.day);
```
---
## API Layer
### `events_api.dart`
```dart
class EventsApi {
final Dio _dio;
const EventsApi(this._dio);
// GET /api/events?from=<iso>&to=<iso>
Future<List<CalendarEvent>> getEvents(DateTime from, DateTime to) async { ... }
// POST /api/events
Future<CalendarEvent> createEvent(Map<String, dynamic> payload) async { ... }
// PATCH /api/events/{id}
Future<CalendarEvent> updateEvent(int id, Map<String, dynamic> fields) async { ... }
// DELETE /api/events/{id}
Future<void> deleteEvent(int id) async { ... }
}
```
All methods catch `DioException` and rethrow via `dioToApp(e)` (same pattern as `NewsApi`).
### `api_client_provider.dart` addition
```dart
final eventsApiProvider = Provider<EventsApi>((ref) =>
EventsApi(ref.watch(dioProvider)));
```
---
## State Management
### `CalendarState`
```dart
class CalendarState {
final Map<DateTime, List<CalendarEvent>> eventsByDay; // keys: midnight local time
final DateTime selectedDay;
final DateTime focusedMonth;
final DateTimeRange loadedRange;
}
```
### `CalendarNotifier extends AsyncNotifier<CalendarState>`
- **`build()`**: fetches events for `[firstDayOfMonth - 1 month, lastDayOfMonth + 1 month]` for the current month; populates `eventsByDay`; sets `selectedDay` to today; sets `loadedRange` to the fetched range.
- **`selectDay(DateTime day)`**: synchronous state update — updates `selectedDay` and `focusedMonth` to `DateTime(day.year, day.month)`. No API call.
- **`loadMonth(DateTime month)`**: updates `focusedMonth`. If `month` is already within `loadedRange`, no-op (state update only). Otherwise fetches events for that month, merges new items into `eventsByDay`, extends `loadedRange`.
- **`addEvent(CalendarEvent event)`**: inserts the event into `eventsByDay` under `dateOnly(event.startDt)`. Synchronous local mutation after successful API call.
- **`updateEvent(CalendarEvent updated)`**: removes old entry by `id` from its old date bucket (scanned), inserts under `dateOnly(updated.startDt)`. Synchronous local mutation.
- **`removeEvent(int id, DateTime date)`**: removes from `eventsByDay[dateOnly(date)]` by id. Synchronous local mutation.
All three mutation methods accept the server-returned `CalendarEvent` — the screen calls the API first, then passes the result to the notifier.

## Screen Behaviour
### `CalendarScreen` (`ConsumerStatefulWidget`)
**AppBar**: title "Calendar".
**Month strip** (`TableCalendar`):
- Format: `CalendarFormat.month`
- Selected day highlighted with primary color
- Days with events show a dot indicator
- `onDaySelected`: calls `notifier.selectDay(day)`
- `onPageChanged`: calls `notifier.loadMonth(month)`
**Agenda list** (`ListView.builder`):
- Items: `state.eventsByDay[dateOnly(state.selectedDay)] ?? []`
- Each `EventTile` shows: color dot, title, time string ("All day" if `allDay`, otherwise formatted start time)
- Tap → opens `EventFormSheet` in edit mode
- Empty: centered "No events" message
**FAB** (`FloatingActionButton`): opens `EventFormSheet` in create mode with `startDt` pre-set to `selectedDay` at current time (rounded to nearest hour)
**Initial loading**: `CircularProgressIndicator` centered. Error: message + "Retry" button calls `ref.invalidate(calendarProvider)`.
---
## Event Form Sheet
### `EventFormSheet` (shown via `showModalBottomSheet(isScrollControlled: true, useSafeArea: true)`)
Accepts `CalendarEvent? event` (null = create mode) and `DateTime? initialDate` (used in create mode).
**Fields:**
| Field | Widget | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Title | `TextField` | Required |
| All-day | `SwitchListTile` | Hides time pickers when on |
| Start date | `ListTile``showDatePicker` | |
| Start time | `ListTile``showTimePicker` | Hidden when all-day |
| End date | `ListTile``showDatePicker` | Optional, clearable |
| End time | `ListTile``showTimePicker` | Hidden when all-day |
| Repeat | `DropdownButton` | None / Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly |
| Description | `TextField` multiline | Optional |
| Location | `TextField` | Optional |
| Color | Row of `InkWell` color chips | 6 preset colors + clear (empty string) |
**Repeat → RRULE mapping:**
| UI value | RRULE stored |
|----------|-------------|
| None | `null` |
| Daily | `FREQ=DAILY` |
| Weekly | `FREQ=WEEKLY` |
| Monthly | `FREQ=MONTHLY` |
| Yearly | `FREQ=YEARLY` |
Existing events with an unrecognized RRULE string (does not match the 5 patterns above) display "Custom (read-only)" and the dropdown is disabled. The raw RRULE is preserved unchanged on save.
**Save flow:**
1. Validate title non-empty
2. Build payload map from form state
3. Call `EventsApi.createEvent` or `EventsApi.updateEvent`
4. On success: call `notifier.addEvent(result)` or `notifier.updateEvent(result)`, pop sheet
5. On error: show SnackBar "Failed to save event."
**Delete flow (edit mode only):**
1. Show `AlertDialog` "Delete this event?"
2. On confirm: call `EventsApi.deleteEvent(event.id)`
3. On success: call `notifier.removeEvent(event.id, event.startDt)`, pop sheet
4. On error: show SnackBar "Failed to delete event."

## What This Does NOT Include
- Recurrence instance editing ("edit this event only" vs "all events") — backend does not support this distinction
- Reminder/notification editing — `reminder_minutes` field not exposed (backend stores it but no push notification is sent from events)
- Project association — `project_id` field not exposed in the form
- CalDAV sync trigger — available via `POST /api/events/sync` but not surfaced in this screen
