How to use it

You can initialize a CalendarDateTime value directly and convert it to a Swift Date when you need to display it to the user.

let meetingDate = CalendarDateTime(year: 2020, month: 4, day: 1, hour: 10, minute: 30)
let meetingTimezone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York")

let date = meetingDate.asDate(timezone: meetingTimezone!)

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = .long
formatter.timeStyle = .long
formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York") // Or .current

formatter.string(from: date) // -> "April 1, 2020 at 10:30:00 AM EDT"

The value types provided by this library all conform to Codable.
