JavaScript AppleScript deleting calendar events is slow

Hey guys,

I'm working on a jxa javascript applescript project that publishes events to a calendar.

Before publishing the events the script has to delete all the existing events on a given day.f

In general this is working but deleting events from a calendar is INCREDIBLY slow!

It takes about 15-20 seconds to just delete one single event. This varies a little bit based on the number of events in that calendar.

What I do is that I get the events via the whose method and then run each events delete() method:

while(calendarEventsToDelete.length > 0){

if(calendarEventsToDelete){

console.log("Current Length: " + calendarEventsToDelete.length);

calendarEventsToDelete[0].delete();

}else{

break;

}

}

Main Question: Is there a way that needs less time for deleting events from a calendar?

In Addition: I'm using a while loop that checks for the calendarEventsToDelete list length because otherwise the events won't be deleted at all.

Thank you for your help,

best,

nelic
