New Plugin: TopCal - Dates, Ranges and Time Slots

[gf_wolfer]

I’ll reference this thread as I go into detail on one strategy there. The other strategy of saving bookable Time Slots in the database would be more performant and more ideal if search by date is the main function of your app and/or there are a lot of Resources that need to be searched

@gf_wolfer

There can be a couple different ways. Approximately how many Users will you be searching across for availability? (1-10, 10-100, thousands, etc)
Also, are the Users setting their availability using a Pattern, such as Mondays 9-5, or only with Specific Date Range Availability? (can help with some speed optimizations if the latter)

If it is a small number we can do some logic on page, if it is a large number and searching is a key function in the app then it may be more efficient to save available time slots directly on a User’s Schedule
