Oncoursesystems.com is a web app written in extjs that handles managing teacher lesson plans amongst many other things. It has proven to be incredibly tedious to work with so I spent a day parsing its html and json requests involved with lessonplan editing. This gem is the result.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'oncourse'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install oncourse
require 'oncourse'
client = Oncourse::Client.new('testuser', 'password')
# parse the weekly planner for a specific date and number of weeks.
# in the school I'm helping, the weeks start on monday, so this date should
# be a monday. The week is that monday and the following 4 days.
# This method only parses the html, so it does not read the homework field.
# You'll only get the lesson. Use client.read_lesson if you want the homework.
lessonplan = client.read_planner(Date.parse("2014-03-10"), 1)
# After a client.read_planner call, the planner is stored in an instance variable.
# We can now read all of the standards for each lesson we've read so far:
lessonplan_with_standards = client.read_planner_standards()
# Save the lesson plan so far.
client.save_planner("./lessonplan_20140310.json")
# read a single lesson given a date and period.
# this method also returns homework
puts client.read_lesson(Date.today, 2)
# post a lesson
client.post_lesson("2 + 2 = 4", "homework: 3+3= ?", Date.today, 2)
