ConnectWrapper

What is ConnectWrapper?

ConnectWrapper is an easy way for Western-Australian students to create their own apps around the teacher-student communication platform, https://connect.det.wa.edu.au/

What are the benefits?

ConnectWrapper handles all requests and responses to and from the Connect webserver. Responses from the webserver are parsed and compiled in a way that makes it easier to get information from your request, saving you endless time with trying to find specific data from your own request, it's all there in front of you, in an easy-to-read format!

What can I do with ConnectWrapper?

Upon it's initial release, ConnectWrapper has the following functions:

• Mobile

  • Authentication

    • get_access_token (Used for authenticating future requests)
    • check_access_token (Used to check whether an access_token is valid/invalid/expired)

  • Notices

    • get_feed (Returns posts depending on user's kwargs, default returns the 10 most-recent posts)
    • view_notice (Used to view the details about the notice, adds a view to notice view counter)
    • add_comment (Posts a comment to the specified notice)

Please Note: There are more functions coming soon...
