Adding the ability to seed or parse ICS files

[99linesofcode]

Hi,

While I recognize that this package is probably intentionally named a generator, I was wondering whether you have considered adding support for parsing existing .ics files in the past.

Sure, there are other packages out there that provide similar functionality but non that have such an elegant and Fluent syntax which so closely resembles Laravel's.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi @99linesofcode,

At the moment we do not have such plans to support parsing ics files. If it was something simple we could do with a few lines of code then I would add it immediately but this would require a complete rewrite and rethinking of the package API which is a bit too much for such a feature.

I haven't used .ics parsers, so I don't know what kind of packages exist. But you could maybe build repositories around the output from another package that enable a fluent syntax?

Good luck!
