# Python API for WIMS' adm/raw module

**WimsAPI** is an API written in python3 allowing to communicate with a *WIMS*
server through its *adm/raw* extension.

For more information about *adm/raw*,
[see its documentation](https://wims.auto.u-psud.fr/wims/wims.cgi?module=adm/raw&job=help)

Here the [documentation of wimsapi](https://wimsapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

## Installation

The latest stable version is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/wimsapi/) :

```bash
pip install wimsapi
```

or from the sources:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/qcoumes/wimsapi
cd wimsapi
python3 setup.py install
```
 

## Configuration

### Global configuration

In order for *WIMS* to accept requests from **WimsAPI**,
a file must be created in `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/.connections/`,
the file's name will serve as the identifier name for **WimsAPI**.

Here an exemple of such file:
`[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/.connections/myself`
```
ident_site=172.17.0.1

ident_desc=This WIMS server

ident_agent=python-requests

# http / https.
ident_protocol=http

# password must be a word composed of alpha-numeric characters.
ident_password=toto

ident_type=json

# The address and identifier/password pair for calling back.
back_url=http://localhost/wims/wims.cgi
back_ident=myself
back_password=toto
```
 
Here a description of the important parameters:

* `ident_site`: a space separated list of IP allowed to send request to this
                *WIMS* server.
* `ident_agent`: ***Must*** be set to `python-requests`.
* `ident_password`: Used alongside the file's name as *identifier* in the request
                    to authenticate yourself on *WIMS*.
* `ident_type`: ***Must*** be set to `json`.

The above example would allow a computer/server of ip `172.17.0.1` to send a request
to the *WIMS* server with identifier *myself* and password *toto*.


### Class Configuration

If you create a class thanks to this API, everything should work perfectly.
However, if you want to use it with an already existing class, some more
configuration must be done.

You must edit the file `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/[CLASS_ID]/.def` and add
this line at the end of the file:

```
!set class_connections=+IDENT/RCLASS+
```

Where **IDENT** is the identifier use by the API (name of the corresponding
file in `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/.connections/` as defined above) and
**RCLASS** is an identifier sent in the request to authenticate yourself
on the class.

Basically, to authenticate yourself on a class on your *WIMS* server, you
will need :

* `url` : URL to the *WIMS* (`https://wims.unice.fr/wims/wims.cgi` for instance)
* `ident` : Name of the file in `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/.connections/`
* `passwd` : Value of `ident_password` in
             `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/.connections/[IDENT]`
* `rclass` : Value set after the **/** in `class_connections` in
             `[WIMS_HOME]/log/classes/[CLASS_ID]/.def`



## Example

```python
from wimsapi import Class, User

c = Class.get("https://wims.unice.fr/wims/wims.cgi", "myself", "toto", 9999, "myclass")

c.institution = "Another institution"  # Modify class' institution
c.save()

u = User.get(c, "qcoumes")
u.email = "coumes.quentin@gmail.com"  # Modify user's email
u.save()

new = User("quser", "lastname", "firstname", "password", "mail@mail.com")
c.additem(new)  # Add the new user to the class.
```

For more informations about usage or example : Here the complete [documentation of wimsapi](https://wimsapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).


## Testing

To test *wimsapi*, you will need a running WIMS' server. If needed, you can set up one quickly with docker using the DockerFile [here](https://github.com/qcoumes/docker-wims-minimal), following the *README* steps.

The default URL used for tests is `http://localhost:7777/wims/wims.cgi`, you can override it with the environment variable `WIMS_URL`. For instance:
```bash
WIMS_URL=http://mywims.com/wims/wims.cgi pytest
```

# Changelog


#### 0.5.11

* `api.WimsAPI.authuser` now accept an `ip` argument, allowing a persistent session for the
  same IP. (Contributed by Gianluca Amato)


#### 0.5.10

* WIMS accept request saving user with invalid `quser`, removing or changing
  invalid character. But `wimsapi` was taking this change into account, the `quser`
  attribute of the user was thus invalid, causing problem when further communicating with
  the WIMS server.  
  To solve this problem `User.save()` now has a `adapt=True` keyword argument. When `True`,
  the `quser` attribute will be modified to match the one used by WIMS. If `False`, the
  user created on the WIMS server with the modifier `quser` will be deleted and the new
  exception `InvalidIdentifier` will be raised.


#### 0.5.9

* Keyword argument that will be passed to every call of `request.post()` can now
be given to `WimsApi` constructor.
* Every method of `Class` creating a `WimsAPI` can also receive such argument
(`check()`, `save()`, `get()`, `list()`)
* Now use `sdist` instead of `bdist` to create new distribution.

#### 0.5.8

* Now use Github action for testing and publishing

#### 0.5.7

* Added `__str__` method to InvalidResponseError.

#### 0.5.6

* Added `response` field to InvalidResponseError.


#### 0.5.5

* Added InvalidResponseError exception in api.py when WIMS send a badly formatted response.


#### O.5.4

* Append `/` at the end of the WIMS server's url if it is not present when using
`WimsAPI`.

* Added adm/raw API to the documentation.


#### 0.5.3

* Default timeout for low level API is now 10 seconds (instead of 120).


#### 0.5.2

* Parameters of `api.py` requests are now encoding in `ISO-8859-1`, mathching WIMS'
  default encoding
  
* Adding `__repr__` and `__str__` method to `Class` and `Item` subtypes.

* Getting Exams from the WIMS server now retrieve the correct status.


#### 0.5.1

* Fix sheet's score computation


### 0.5.0

* Added classes `Exam` and `ExamScore`, `ExerciseScore` and `SheetScore`
to store scores

* `Sheet` / `Exam`:
    * Title and description are now optionnal in constructor.
    * Added method `scores(user=None)` to retrieve the score of one or every user.

* Added class method `check()` to `Class` to check wheter a class exists or not.

* Better `__eq__` and `__hash__` for every class.


#### 0.4.1

* Listing functions now return an empty list when needed


### 0.4.0

* Added new item : `Sheet`
* Added the possibility to list items and classes through `Class.list()` and
    `class.listitem()`.
* Added `__eq__()` for items and classes.
* Fixed some documentation


#### 0.3.9

* Renamed Class member `date` to `expiration` to match the *ADM/RAW* argument.
* `Class.limit` is now an *int* when retrieving the class from a *WIMS* server.
* Now propagate exception if expiration in Class `__init__` is not `yyyymmdd`.

#### 0.3.7 & 0.3.8

* `check_exists` is now used properly


#### 0.3.6

* Added `check_exists=True` parameter to item's save method.  
    If check_exists is True, the api will check if an item with the same ID
    exists on the WIMS' server. If it exists, save will instead modify this
    item instead of trying to create new one.  
    `wclass.additem()` will now use `check_exists=False`.
* Fix response check in `wclass.save()`


#### 0.3.5

* Fix missing `self.lang = lang` in **Class**' `__init__`


#### 0.3.4

* Fix `long_description` in setup.py


#### 0.3.3

* `qclass` argument is now optionnal in Class constructor,
   allowing WIMS to choose a free `qclass` when saving for
   the fist time. 


#### 0.3.2

* Fixed `WimsAPI.putexo()`.
* Updated tests and unskipped some according to latest WIMS version.


#### 0.3.1

* Fixed buggy import in setup.py


### 0.3.0

* Adding **Classe** higher level API, allowing to manipulate a WIMS' Class.
