HStack {

}

HStack {
  RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 3)
}

  RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 3)
    .frame(width: 5)

    .frame(width: 5)
    .foregroundColor(Color(event.calendar.cgColor))

private let formatter: DateIntervalFormatter = {

}

  let formatter = DateIntervalFormatter()

  formatter.dateStyle = .none
  formatter.timeStyle = .short
  return formatter
// 3
}()

// 1
VStack(alignment: .leading) { 

}

  Text(formatter.string(from: event.startDate, to: event.endDate))
    .font(.subheadline)

  Text(event.title)
    .font(.headline)

  if let location = event.location {
    Text(location)
      .font(.subheadline)
  }
}
