API, but simpler and more powerful</h1> <p>This project is designed <em>by</em> educators <em>for</em> educators. Each endpoint is a black box that just works. We don't have full API coverage, but we add functions as they are requested.</p> <h1 style="display: flex; align-items: center;"> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-right: 10px;"> </div> <div> Quickstart </div> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-left: 10px;"> </div> </h1> <h2>1. Get an <code>api</code> instance</h2> <p>In your CACCL project, you should have access to an <code>api</code> instance (via <code>getAPI</code>, for example). Read through the <a href="http://bit.ly/caccl">CACCL docs</a> to learn more.</p> <h2>2. Call an endpoint function</h2> <p>All endpoint functions are asynchronous, so we recommend using async/await syntax:</p> <pre class="prettyprint source lang-ts"><code>const submissions = await api.course.listStudents(); </code></pre> <h1 style="display: flex; align-items: center;"> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-right: 10px;"> </div> <div> API Config </div> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-left: 10px;"> </div> </h1> <p>Every endpoint function can take a second argument that overwrites default settings:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th style="text-align:left">Argument</th> <th style="text-align:left">Type</th> <th style="text-align:left">Description</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">onNewPage</td> <td style="text-align:left">function</td> <td style="text-align:left">this function is called when each page is received from Canvas</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">maxPages</td> <td style="text-align:left">number</td> <td style="text-align:left">maximum number of pages to fetch</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">itemsPerPage</td> <td style="text-align:left">number</td> <td style="text-align:left">number of items to request in each page</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">numRetries</td> <td style="text-align:left">number</td> <td style="text-align:left">number of times to retry failed network requests</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">canvasHost</td> <td style="text-align:left">string</td> <td style="text-align:left">hostname for Canvas</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">accessToken</td> <td style="text-align:left">string</td> <td style="text-align:left">access token to use for authentication</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left">authenticityToken</td> <td style="text-align:left">string</td> <td style="text-align:left">Canvas authenticity token (we recommend that you use accessToken instead)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>In most cases, you will not need to include any of these parameters because the defaults will suffice.</p> <h1 style="display: flex; align-items: center;"> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-right: 10px;"> </div> <div> Tips and Tricks </div> <div style="flex-grow: 1; height: 1px; background: #ccc; margin-left: 10px;"> </div> </h1> <p><strong>For giant requests, process data as it arrives:</strong></p> <p>Instead of waiting until the endpoint function returns with all the pages of data, process it page by page using <code>onNewPage</code>.</p> <pre class="prettyprint source lang-js"><code>const allCourses = await api.account.listCourses({ accountId: 29, onNewPage: (batchOfCourses) => { // Increment the number of courses that have been downloaded this.incrementNumberOfCourses(batchOfCourses.length); // Add the new batch of courses to the table shown to the user this.addCoursesToTable(batchOfCourses); }, }); </code></pre> <p><strong>Hit <em>any</em> endpoint, even ones that aren't listed in our docs:</strong></p> <p>Use <code>api.other.endpoint(...)</code> to hit any endpoint in Canvas.</p> <p>If you find that you're using other endpoints frequently, please request that those endpoints be added to CACCL API as an official function.</p></article> </section> </div> <br class="clear"> <footer> We use <a href="https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc">JSDoc</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/clenemt/docdash">docdash</a> theme to generate our docs. </footer> <script>prettyPrint();</script> <script src="scripts/polyfill.js"></script> <script src="scripts/linenumber.js"></script> </body> </html>
