Overview
--------

This is a library for making requests to an EvaluationKit API.

Testing
-------

This project is tested with [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Run the tox command to run checks and unit tests:
```
$ tox
```

By default, this project's tox runs:

 * [flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/)
 * [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy)
 * [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/)

To create test coverage reports:
```
$ tox -e cov
```

Deployment
----------

Deployment to pypi is done with tox:
```
$ tox -e deploy
```
Make sure to bump the version in setup.py before deploying.

Documentation
-------------

This project has Sphinx documentation at the following url:
https://lcary.github.io/canvas-lms-tools/

The EvaluationKit API documentation is also very useful:


Installation
------------

To install, use pip:

    pip install evalkit_api_client

Or clone the repo:

    git clone https://github.com/lcary/canvas-lms-tools.git
    cd canvas-lms-tools/evalkit_api_client
    python setup.py install

Usage
-----

Adding the client as a dependency in your project's `requirements.txt`
file is the intended way to use the client.

#### REPL Example

```
$ python
>>> from evalkit_api_client.v1_client import EvalKitAPIv1
>>> url = 'https://sub-account.evaluationkit.com/api/v1'
>>> token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTHISxISxNOTxAxREALxTOKENxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
>>> api = EvalKitAPIv1(url, token)
>>> projects = api.get_projects().json()
>>> len(projects.json())  # number of projects in sub-account
>>> for p in projects.['resultList']:
...     print(p['id'], p['title'])
...
49400 Test Evaluation A
57600 Test Eval B
```

#### Script Example

This very simple example requires a few environment variables. The
API URL and token should be something like:
```
EVALKIT_API_URL=https://sub-account.evaluationkit.com/api/v1
EVALKIT_API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTHISxISxNOTxAxREALxTOKENxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

The recommended approach is to use a config file with limited read
permissions instead of environment variables, but bear with me here.

Once installed in your project via pip, use as follows:

```python
from os import environ
from pprint import pprint

from evalkit_api_client.v1_client import EvalKitAPIv1

url = environ.get('EVALKIT_API_URL')
token = environ.get('EVALKIT_API_TOKEN')

api = EvalKitAPIv1(url, token)
projects = api.get_projects()

print(projects.json())
```

#### EvalKitAPIv1

This library is meant to be imported into your code. The `EvalKitAPIv1` client
object requires a `api_url` argument and a `api_token` argument. The `api_url`
should likely be defined in a configuration file, and should be the full API
URL without the endpoint, e.g. `https://sub.evaluationkit.com/api/v1/`. The `api_token`
should similarly be defined in a config file, and is the token generated for
a given subaccount in EvaluationKit.

Refer to the client interface [documentation](#documentation) for more information.

#### Building Wheels

Building the wheel:

    python setup.py bdist_wheel

#### Installing Wheels

How to install the client for testing:

    pip uninstall evalkit_api_client || echo "Already uninstalled."
    pip install --no-index --find-links=dist evalkit_api_client

Alternatively, install by specifying the full or relative path to the `.whl` file:

    pip install --no-index /path/to/canvas-lms-tools/evalkit_api_client/dist/evalkit_api_client-<version>-py2.py3-none-any.whl

(You may need to `pip install wheel` first if you are installing from another
project. Consult [stack overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28002897/wheel-file-installation)
for more help.)

#### Sphinx Docs

Creating the docs:

    cd docs
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    pip install evalkit_api_client
    make html
    open build/html/index.html

Deploying the docs to GitHub pages:

    git checkout master
    git pull
    git branch -D gh-pages
    git checkout -b gh-pages
    rm -rf ./*
    touch .nojekyll
    git checkout master evalkit_api_client/docs/
    < build the docs as above >
    mv evalkit_api_client/docs/build/html/* ./
    rm -rf evalkit_api_client
    git add -A
    git commit
    git push -f origin gh-pages
