# EGroupware CalDAV/CardDAV server and REST API
CalDAV/CardDAV is build on HTTP and WebDAV, implementing the following additional RFCs containing documentation of the protocol:
* [rfc4791: CalDAV: Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4791)
* [rfc6638: Scheduling Extensions to CalDAV](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6638)
* [rfc6352: CardDAV: vCard Extensions to WebDAV](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6352)
* [rfc6578: Collection Synchronization for WebDAV](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6578)
* many additional extensions from former Apple Calendaring Server used by Apple clients and others
## Path / URL layout for CalDAV/CardDAV and REST is identical
One can use the following URLs relative (!) to https://example.org/egroupware/groupdav.php
- ```/``` base of Cal|Card|GroupDAV tree, only certain clients (KDE, Apple) can autodetect folders from here
- ```/principals/``` principal-collection-set for WebDAV ACL
- ```/principals/users/<username>/```
- ```/principals/groups/<groupname>/```
- ```/<username>/``` users home-set with
- ```/<username>/addressbook/``` addressbook of user or group <username> given the user has rights to view it
- ```/<current-username>/addressbook-<other-username>/``` shared addressbooks from other user or group
- ```/<current-username>/addressbook-accounts/``` all accounts current user has rights to see
- ```/<username>/calendar/``` calendar of user <username> given the user has rights to view it
- ```/<username>/calendar/?download``` download whole calendar as .ics file (GET request!)
- ```/<current-username>/calendar-<other-username>/``` shared calendar from other user or group (only current <username>!)
- ```/<username>/inbox/``` scheduling inbox of user <username>
- ```/<username>/outbox/``` scheduling outbox of user <username>
- ```/<username>/infolog/``` InfoLog's of user <username> given the user has rights to view it
- ```/addressbook/``` all addressbooks current user has rights to, announced as directory-gateway now
- ```/addressbook-accounts/``` all accounts current user has rights to see
- ```/calendar/``` calendar of current user
- ```/infolog/``` infologs of current user
- ```/(resources|locations)/<resource-name>/calendar``` calendar of a resource/location, if user has rights to view
- ```/<current-username>/(resource|location)-<resource-name>``` shared calendar from a resource/location
- ```/mail/``` only REST API, currently only send EMail or launch interactive compose windows
Shared addressbooks or calendars are only shown in the users home-set, if he subscribed to it via his CalDAV preferences!
Calling one of the above collections with a GET request / regular browser generates an automatic index
from the data of an allprop PROPFIND, allow browsing CalDAV/CardDAV tree with a regular browser.
## REST API: using EGroupware CalDAV/CardDAV server with JSON
> currently implemented only for contacts and calendar (without recurring events)!
Following RFCs / drafts used/planned for JSON encoding of ressources
* [draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact: JSContact: A JSON Representation of Contact Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact)
([* see at end of document](#implemented-changes-from-jscontact-draft-08))
* [draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-vcard: JSContact: Converting from and to vCard](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-vcard/)
* [rfc8984: JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984)
### Supported request methods and examples
* **GET** to collections with an ```Accept: application/json``` header return all resources (similar to WebDAV PROPFIND)

following GET parameters are supported to customize the returned properties:
- props[]=<DAV-prop-name> eg. props[]=getetag to return only the ETAG (multiple DAV properties can be specified)
Default for addressbook collections is to only return address-data (JsContact), other collections return all props.
- sync-token=<token> to only request change since last sync-token, like rfc6578 sync-collection REPORT
- nresults=N limit number of responses (only for sync-collection / given sync-token parameter!)
this will return a "more-results"=true attribute and a new "sync-token" attribute to query for the next chunk
<details>
<summary>Example: Getting just ETAGs and displayname of all contacts in a given AB</summary>

#### Implemented [changes from JsContact draft 08](https://github.com/rsto/draft-stepanek-jscontact/compare/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-08):
* localizedString type / object is removed in favor or regular String type and a [localizations object like in JsCalendar](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984#section-4.6.1)
* [Vendor-specific Property Extensions and Values](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-07#section-1.3)
use ```<domain-name>:<name>``` like in JsCalendar
* top-level objects need a ```@type``` attribute with one of the following values:
```NameComponent```, ```Organization```, ```Title```, ```Phone```, ```Resource```, ```File```, ```ContactLanguage```,
```Address```, ```StreetComponent```, ```Anniversary```, ```PersonalInformation```
### ToDos
- [x] Addressbook
- [ ] update of photos, keys, attachments
- [ ] InfoLog
- [X] Calendar
- [ ] relatedTo / links
- [ ] storing not native supported attributes eg. localization
