Problem/Motivation

I want to display a recurring date's frequency instead of the actual date(s).

Steps to reproduce

I have an Event node with a Smart Date Range field. I've set it to repeat Daily. Viewing the Event shows all dates as expected.

I implemented a custom Smart Date formatter and am using it like event_date|smart_date_format('my_custom_formatter') so it only shows the first instance on the Event node.

So far so good!

However, is there a way to instead display the SmartDateRule's $freq property?

    I figured it out!

    In case anyone else wanted to know:

    1. In your theme or module code, add a reference to SmartDateRule:
    use Drupal\smart_date_recur\Entity\SmartDateRule;
    2. Grab the recurring rule ID:
    $rule = $node->[smart_date_field_machine_name][0]->get('rrule')->getValue();
    3. Load the SmartDateRule using that ID:
    $rrule = SmartDateRule::load($rule);
    4. Grab the freq property
    $freq = $rrule->get('freq')->value;

    I did some further futzing to get my final output, but that was the key for me.
