The setReminder function schedules a Google Calendar event to send a Twilio message at a given time, handling OAuth authentication and calendar ID resolution.

Run example

npm run import -- "twilio reminder"

twilio reminder

var importer = require('../Core');
var google = require('googleapis');
var calendar = google.calendar('v3');
var util = require('util');
var chrono = require('chrono-node');
var insertEvent = util.promisify(calendar.events.insert);
var {
    getOauthClient,
    correctCalendarId
} = importer.import("lookup calendar name",
"import google calendar api");

var options = {
    calendarId: 'aws'
};

function setReminder(to, message, time) {
    const time = chrono.parseDate(time);
    const event = {
        summary: 'send twilio message',
        description: JSON.stringify({
            message,
            to
        }),
        start: {dateTime: new Date(time.getTime())},
        end: {dateTime: new Date(time.getTime() + 30 * 60 * 1000)}
    }
    return (options.auth ? Promise.resolve([]) : getOauthClient(options))
        .then(() => correctCalendarId(options))
        .then(() => insertEvent({
            calendarId: options.calendarId,
            auth: options.auth,
            resource: event
        }))
}
module.exports = incomingTwilio;

What the code could have been:

// Import required modules
const { google } = require('googleapis');
const { chronoNode } = require('chrono-node');
const util = require('util');
const importer = require('../Core');

// Create a Google Calendar API client
const calendar = google.calendar('v3');

// Util functions
const promisify = util.promisify;
const parseDate = chronoNode.parseDate;

// API constants
const MIN_EVENT_DURATION = 30 * 60 * 1000; // 30 minutes in milliseconds

// Get OAuth client and correct calendar ID
const { getOauthClient, correctCalendarId } = importer.import([
  'lookup calendar name',
  'import google calendar api',
]);

// Default calendar ID
const DEFAULT_CALENDAR_ID = 'aws';

// Set reminder function
/**
 * Set a reminder in the Google Calendar.
 * 
 * @param {string} to - The recipient's phone number.
 * @param {string} message - The message to be sent.
 * @param {string} time - The reminder time in a format that can be parsed by chrono-node.
 * @returns {Promise} - A promise that resolves when the reminder is set.
 */
function setReminder(to, message, time) {
  // Parse the reminder time
  const eventTime = parseDate(time).getTime();

  // Create the event
  const event = {
    summary: 'Send Twilio message',
    description: JSON.stringify({ message, to }),
    start: { dateTime: new Date(eventTime) },
    end: { dateTime: new Date(eventTime + MIN_EVENT_DURATION) },
  };

  // Set the calendar ID
  const options = { calendarId: DEFAULT_CALENDAR_ID, auth: true };

  // Set the reminder
  return Promise.resolve(options)
   .then((authOptions) => getOauthClient(authOptions))
   .then((oauthClient) => correctCalendarId({...options, oauthClient }))
   .then((calendarId) => promisify(calendar.events.insert)({
      calendarId,
      auth: oauthClient,
      resource: event,
    }));
}
