Calendar Typescript Schema$EventDateTime.date type missing null

[joshuajtaylor]

Using the Google Calendar API, the interface Schema$EventDateTime defines date without allowing null. However, start.date must be set to null when using calendar_v3.events.patch() to convert an all-day event to a time-limited event. The other option is to use the calendar_v3.events.update() method but this isn't an option for our implementation.

Definition in code:

google-api-nodejs-client/src/apis/calendar/v3.ts

Line 1001 in c62efb1

date?: string;

googleapis version: [email protected]

Code example:

const requestBody: calendar_v3.Schema$Event = {
  start: {
    dateTime: newEvent.start_time.toISOString(),
    date: '', // a null is necessary if we need to revert an all-day event back to a time-limited event
  },
  end: {
    dateTime: newEvent.end_time.toISOString(),
    date: '', // a null is necessary if we need to revert an all-day event back to a time-limited event.
  },
};

// "any" hack to get TypeScript to compile
(requestBody as any).start.date = null;
(requestBody as any).end.date = null;

const res = await calendar.events.patch({
    calendarId: googleCalendar.google_id,
    eventId: googleEvent.google_id,
    sendUpdates: 'all',
    requestBody,
}, undefined);

EDIT: Added code example
