Clever - the C# library for the Clever API

Installation and API Documentation

View more detailed documentation here

Getting Started

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Clever.Api;
using Clever.Client;
using Clever.Model;

namespace Test
{
    public static class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {

            // Note: This is hard coded for demo purposes only. Keep your access tokens secret!
            // https://dev.clever.com/docs/security#section-security-best-practices
            Configuration.Default.AccessToken = "TEST_TOKEN";

            var apiInstance = new DataApi();

            try
            {
                StudentsResponse result = apiInstance.GetStudents();
                foreach (var student in result.Data) {
                    Console.WriteLine("ID: {0}, Name: {1} {2}", student.Data.Id, student.Data.Name.First, student.Data.Name.Last);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception when calling DataApi.GetStudents: " + e.Message );
            }

        }
    }
}

Events Usage

Since events are polymorphic you'll need to use a dynamic variable. For example:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Clever.Api;
using Clever.Client;
using Clever.Model;

namespace Test
{
    public static class Events
    {
        public static void Main()
        {

            // Note: This is hard coded for demo purposes only. Keep your access tokens secret!
            // https://dev.clever.com/docs/security#section-security-best-practices
            Configuration.Default.AccessToken = "TEST_TOKEN";

            var apiInstance = new EventsApi();

            try
            {
                EventsResponse result = apiInstance.GetEvents();
                foreach (var eventObj in result.Data) {
                    dynamic eventData = eventObj.Data;
                    Console.WriteLine("Event Type:{0}, Data:{1}", eventObj.Data.GetType(), eventData.Data.ToString());
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception when calling EventsApi.GetEvents: " + e.Message );
            }

        }
    }
}

Running the Examples

This has been tested on MacOS with Mono. To install Mono run brew install mono.

Run make build on this library.

To build and run one of the examples, save it to a .cs file then, for example:

mcs /reference:bin/Clever.dll /reference:System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll Program.cs
cp bin/*.dll .
mono Program.exe

Packaging

A .nuspec is included with the project. You can follow the Nuget quickstart to create and publish packages.

This .nuspec uses placeholders from the .csproj, so build the .csproj directly:

nuget pack -Build -OutputDirectory out src/Clever/Clever.csproj

Then, publish to a local feed or other host and consume the new package via Nuget as usual.

Note: Building from the .csproj does not work with Mono on Mac, so you will need to edit .nuspec file directly, replacing $version$ with the correct version number, then run:

mono nuget.exe pack -Build -OutputDirectory out src/Clever/Clever.nuspec

Publishing

To publish from Mac:

mono nuget.exe push out/Clever.X.X.X.nupkg API-KEY-FROM-1PFT -Source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package

Credentials are in 1PFT. More information about publishing to NuGet can be found here

Updating the Library

Git clone swagger-codegen (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) and build
Git clone Clever's swagger-api repo (https://github.com/Clever/swagger-api)
In the root directory of the swagger repo run:

java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i $PATH_TO_SWAGGER_API_REPO/v$VERSION-client.yml -l csharp -o $PATH_TO_THIS_REPO --additional-properties packageVersion=$VERSION

Install Mono
Run make override and follow the instructions.
Update the version in src/Clever/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs, and also src/Clever/Clever.nuspec if you are building on Mac
After merging to master, don't forget to package your changes and publish
