Description
A simple wrapper around the ‘ical.js’ library executing ‘Javascript’ code via ‘V8’ (the ‘Javascript’ engine driving the ‘Chrome’ browser and ‘Node.js’ and accessible via the ‘V8’ R package). This package enables users to parse ‘iCalendar’ files (‘.ics’, ‘.ifb’, ‘.iCal’, ‘.iFBf’) into lists and ‘data.frames’ to ultimately do statistics on events, meetings, schedules, birthdays, and the like.

There is one other package on CRAN that does calendar file parsing, too and which might be worth a look or two since is dedicated to cover a much broader range of use cases than ical - e.g. reading and writing ical files:
