APIs for other apps

[georgehrke]

The calendar app should provide APIs to allow other apps to extend the calendar's functionality.
Things that should be extendable:

• custom views
• advanced events editor
• custom entries for calendar list item context menu

anything else?

We are looking at extending the calendar UI ourselves and are happy to help implement this. Do you have a preferred hooking framework for other apps to modify the calendar?

[georgehrke]

@Peterede One of the biggest issues that's keeping us from implementing this is the fact that we are still running on Angular 1, which is not being developed any further and is soon to be end of live.
We are looking forward to move to Vue: #540

Once we moved to Vue, we will most likely provide a js API to hook in your own vue modules and a hook in our view controller to allow you to load your own javascript.

The issue is more about extending the front-end views though. That link is not really relevant…yet.

Exactly, I was essentially riding on the back of #4948, as that's something we'd very much like to deploy.
