Create calendar event using Microsoft Graph Client

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to create a calendar event using the Microsoft Graph JavaScript Client.

I've managed to retrieve the necessary accessToken and can interact with the API (i.e. retrieve events, calendars, top 10 e-mails), but I'm not sure of how to use the API to create an event.

client
    .api('/me/events')
    .header('X-AnchorMailbox', emailAddress)

Do I use post to send the event json object?

I suggest reviewing the Read Medocumentation for details on how to use this library.

To answer your question, you need to create a an Event object. For example:

var event = {
    "subject": "Let's go for lunch",
    "body": {
        "contentType": "HTML",
        "content": "Does late morning work for you?"
    },
    "start": {
        "dateTime": "2017-04-15T12:00:00",
        "timeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"
    },
    "end": {
        "dateTime": "2017-04-15T14:00:00",
        "timeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"
    },
    "location": {
        "displayName": "Harry's Bar"
    },
    "attendees": [{
        "emailAddress": {
            "address": "[email protected]",
            "name": "Samantha Booth"
        },
        "type": "required"
    }]
}

You then need to .post this object to the /events endpoint:

client
    .api('/me/events')
    .post(event, (err, res) => {
        console.log(res)
    })
