Each map in the entry array can have the following properties

name	description	required	repeatable

name	description	required	repeatable
`dtstart`	Start time of event	yes
`dtend`	End time of event	unless `duration` used
`duration`	Time event lasts	unless `dtend` used
`summary`	Short summary of event
`description`	Long description
`organizer`	Name of organizer
`location`	Location of event
`geo`	Latlong coordinates of event
`url`	URL associated with event
`uid`	Universal identifier	yes
`comment`	Comment or not		yes
`attendee`	People attending event (see spec)		yes

This list is not exhaustive. Other valid properties of iCalendar events are also supported according to the specification.

The function automatically adds a UID property to each iCalendar entry if one is not provided.

The meta map is optional and contains two mappings:

name	description

name	description
`name`	Name of the calendar
`desc`	Description of calendar
