This is a Javascript helper library for Tin Can (the Experience API) to work with limited connectivity : queues up Tin Can statements using local storage then sends in bulk to LRS.
Base usage:
Make a queue object:
var myQueue = new TinCanQueue();Queue some statements:
Create Tin Can statements and make sure you use { 'storeOriginal' : true } as the final argument because its needed to correctly stringify and restore. Add them to the queue with:
myQueue.queueStatement(myTinCanStmtObject);Send the queue of statements to the LRS:
Give the sendStatementQueue your tin can object and the queue will get sent:
myQueue.sendStatementQueue(tinCanObject);Running the tests:
Use the grunt file. Depends on PhantomJS : important - install the following packages on Ubuntu for this to cooperate:
$ sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 fontconfig libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev
$ sudo npm install
$ grunt
