[Calendar] Dynamic Event Loading for Calendar

[ChedRed]

When the calendar loads, it seems to fetch all assignments at once. This is intensive, especially for slower school networks. What if the calendar stores the assignments it recently got, then when the site is loaded again, it first loads from the stored events, then it updates them? I saw that the canvas API has the ability to receive changes in assignments since a timestamp, which could also improve speeds.

TLDR; Calendar feature request:

• Assignments are stored when calendar is first loaded, with a timestamp
• Stored assignments are loaded first when reloading calendar
• Calendar fetches and loads new assignments since the stored timestamp

Hi @ChedRed ...

It sounds like you'd like to make a feature request for changes/enhancements to the core Canvas system.  There's actually a different area here in the Community to do just that.  However, please know that the current idea process is undergoing some changes at the moment.  However, you should be able to still submit your idea for later evaluation and possible voting.  I'd encourage you to first read this blog posting:

Here are the Guides that you can look through:

• What is the feature development process for Instructure products?
• How do Ideas work in the Instructure Community?
• What are the guidelines for submitting a new idea?
• How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Community?

I hope these Guides will be of some help to you.  Good luck!
