Clever Javascript Library

Installation

Via npm:

npm install clever

Usage

Clever = require('clever');
var clever = Clever({token: 'YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN'});

If you'd like to play around with our test data, please use the token: DEMO_TOKEN. See our developer guide for more information.

The clever package exposes objects corresponding to resources:

• District
• School
• Section
• Student
• Teacher
• Event

Each exposes a query API that closely resembles that of Mongoose. The available methods are find, findOne, and findById:

clever.District.find({}, function(error, districts) {
  assert(Array.isArray(districts));
  assert(districts[0] instanceof clever.District);
  assert.equal(district.get('name'), 'Demo District');
});

clever.School.findOne({ name: "Clever Academy" }, function(error, school) {
  assert(school instanceof clever.School);
  assert.equal(school.get('name'), 'Clever Academy');
});

clever.School.findById('4fee004cca2e43cf27000001', function(error, school) {
  assert(school instanceof clever.School);
  assert.equal(school.get('name'), 'Clever Academy');
});

When no callback is passed, the methods return a query object that allows you to build up a query over time:

clever.School
.find()
.where('name').equals('Clever Academy')
.exec(callback);

Query objects also support a stream interface for auto-pagination:

// pull sections 10 at a time
var count = 0;
var stream = clever.Section.find().limit(10).stream();
stream.on('data', function(section) {
  count += 1;
  assert(section instanceof clever.Section);
});
stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log(count, 'sections loaded');
});
