rollcall-duo

Small rollcall layer in JS. Smaller than Rollcall 1.0 but enough for our needs at Encore Lab

Usage Examples

Instantiate a Rollcall client

// first parameter is the base DrowsyDromedary url,
// the second is the database name
var rollcall = new Rollcall('http://drowsy.badger.encorelab.org', 'rollcall');

Users

Get all users with tags 'foo' and 'bar'

rollcall.usersWithTags(['foo', 'bar'])
.done(function (users) {
  users.each(function (user) {
    console.log(user.toJSON());
  });
});

Get all users with classes 'ec101' and 'ec203'

rollcall.usersWithClasses(['ec101', 'ec203'])
.done(function (users) {
  users.each(function (user) {
    console.log(user.toJSON());
  });
});

Get the user with username 'akrauss'

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  console.log(user.toJSON());
});

Get all users based on an arbitrary selector (all users with zero tags)

rollcall.users({'tags':{'$size': 0}}) .done(function (users) { users.each(function (user) { console.log(user.toJSON()); }); });

Get all users with user_role teacher

rollcall.usersWithUserRole('teacher')
.done(function (users) {
  users.each(function (user) {
    console.log(user.toJSON());
  });
});

Set some metadata to a user

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.set('favourite_colour', 'green');
  user.save();

  // note that .save() returns a promise, so if you want
  // to wait for that save to finish, you would do something like this:

  user.save()
  .done(function () {
    console.log("Save is done!");
  })
});

Tag a user

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.addTag('mytag');
  user.save();
});

Remove a tag from user

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.removeTag('mytag');
  user.save();
});

Add a class for a user

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.addClass('myNewClass');
  user.save();
});

Remove a class from user

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.removeClass('myOldClass');
  user.save();
});

Is the user a teacher (convenience function) - returns true/false

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  console.log(user.isTeacher());
});

Replace all of a user's tags

rollcall.user('akrauss')
.done(function (user) {
  user.set('tags', ['alpha', 'beta']);
  user.save();
});

Create a new user

var newUser = new rollcall.User({
  username: "cmccann",
  tags: ['foo', 'bar']
});
newUser.save();

Check if a user exists

rollcall.userExists('akrauss')
.done(function (exists) {
  if (exists)
    console.log('user exists!');
  else
    console.log('user DOES NOT exist!');
});

Groups

Creating a group

var newGroup = new rollcall.Group({...});

Get all groups based on an arbitrary selector (all groups with zero users)

rollcall.groups({'users':{'$size': 0}})
.done(function (groups) {
  groups.each(function (group) {
    console.log(group.toJSON());
  });
});

Get group called 'leprechaun'

rollcall.group('leprechaun')
.done(function (group) {
  console.log(group.toJSON());
});

Cohorts

This was classes but can't use that since class is a reserved word in JS

Create a new cohort

var newCohort = new rollcall.Cohort({
  "name": "ec101",
  "creator": "[email protected]",
  "discussions": []
});
newCohort.save();

Add discussion

newCohort.addDiscussion("53e915cf7e59cb607d099999002");

Remove discussion

newCohort.removeDiscussion("53e915cf7e59cb607d099999002");
