How do I use this library?

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Hey!

Thank you for providing the means to build spaced repetition applications! I'd like to build a simple web app to repeat chess exercises and want to use your library for this purpose. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I would include it.

How can I create Card objects with my custom data?

Also, how do I store the result of a repetition set and load it again when I go for the next repetition?

I'd love to contribute a PR for a README and help others understand this quickly as well. Unfortunately, right now I don't understand it myself. Looking forward to your support!

How can I create Card objects with my custom data?

What's. your custom data? I recommend using Card only for scheduling and storing contents and other data in other table/object.

My custom data is a dictionary of strings, e.g. a chess position in FEN notation.

After practicing my chess, I could store the Card objects to disk but when I go again, the __init__ would set all member variables to 0. I suppose I would need to change the constructor of Card to load the data from the previous practice. What do you think?

You need to implement your own constructor, which is based on the database or ORM that you plan to use.

For example:

Thank you for the advice! I finished my implementation. In case anyone else wants to take a look, you can find it here.

And thanks again for this wonderful library!
