sendStatement

Sends a statement to the LRS.

Examples

Example 1: Send Basic Statement

import XAPI, { Statement } from "@xapi/xapi";
​
// new XAPI() etc
​
const myStatement: Statement = {
  actor: {
    objectType: "Agent",
    name: "Test Agent",
    mbox: "mailto:[email protected]"
  },
  verb: {
    id: "http://example.com/verbs/tested",
    display: {
        "en-GB": "tested"
    }
  },
  object: {
    objectType: "Activity",
    id: "https://github.com/xapijs/xapi"
  }
};
​
xapi.sendStatement(myStatement);

Example 2: Send Embedded Attachment Statement

const attachmentContent: string = "hello world";
const arrayBuffer: ArrayBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(attachmentContent);
​
const myStatement: Statement = {
  // actor, verb, object etc,
  attachments: [{
    usageType: XAPI.AttachmentUsages.SUPPORTING_MEDIA,
    display: {
        "en-US": "Text Attachment"
    },
    description: {
        "en-US": `The text attachment contains "${attachmentContent}"`
    },
    contentType: "text/plain",
    length: arrayBuffer.byteLength,
    sha2: CryptoJS.SHA256(arrayBufferToWordArray(arrayBuffer)).toString()
  }]
}
​
xapi.sendStatement(myStatement, [arrayBuffer]);

This example requires CryptoJS to generate a sha2 of the attachment data.

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a string array of statement IDs if successful, or if unsuccessful the rejection contains an error message.

sendStatements

Sends multiple statements to the LRS.

Example 1: Send Basic Statements

import XAPI, { Statement } from "@xapi/xapi";
​
// new XAPI() etc
​
const myStatement: Statement = {
  actor: {
    objectType: "Agent",
    name: "Test Agent",
    mbox: "mailto:[email protected]"
  },
  verb: {
    id: "http://example.com/verbs/tested",
    display: {
        "en-GB": "tested"
    }
  },
  object: {
    objectType: "Activity",
    id: "https://github.com/xapijs/xapi"
  }
};
​
// Define another statement
const myStatementTwo: Statement = {
  ...myStatement
};
​
xapi.sendStatements([myStatement, myStatementTwo]);

Example 2: Send Embedded Attachment Statements

const attachmentContent: string = "hello world";
const arrayBuffer: ArrayBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(attachmentContent);
​
const myStatement: Statement = {
  // actor, verb, object etc,
  attachments: [{
    usageType: XAPI.AttachmentUsages.SUPPORTING_MEDIA,
    display: {
        "en-US": "Text Attachment"
    },
    description: {
        "en-US": `The text attachment contains "${attachmentContent}"`
    },
    contentType: "text/plain",
    length: arrayBuffer.byteLength,
    sha2: CryptoJS.SHA256(arrayBufferToWordArray(arrayBuffer)).toString()
  }]
}
​
// Define another statement
const myStatementTwo: Statement = {
  ...myStatement
};
​
// Send through the attachments in the same sequence as they
// appear in the statements, for brevity we are using the same
// attachment here twice
​
xapi.sendStatement([myStatement, myStatementTwo], [arrayBuffer, arrayBuffer]);

This example requires CryptoJS to generate a sha2 of the attachment data.

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a string array of statement IDs if successful, or if unsuccessful the rejection contains an error message.

getStatement

To receive a single statement, you must use the getStatement method and pass the statement ID in the query. Optionally, you can provide additional parameters to the query to change the data format returned from the LRS.

Examples

Example 1: Get Basic Statement

xapi.getStatement({
  statementId: "abcdefgh-1234"
}).then((result: AxiosResponse) => {
  const statement: Statement = result.data;
  // do stuff with `statement`
});

Example 2: Get Embedded Attachment Statement

xapi.getStatement({
  statementId: "abcdefgh-1234",
  attachments: true
}).then((result: AxiosResponse) => {
  const parts: Parts[] = result.data;
  const statement: Statement = parts[0];
  const attachment: any = parts[1];
})

​

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing the Statement of the supplied statementId.

When getting a statement with attachments: true, the success data is returned as an array. The first array item is of type Statement, and the following are of type Part and are the attachments supplied with the statement.

getStatements

To receive an array of statements based upon a query, you must use the getStatements method. See the GetStatementsQuery interface for a full list of ways to create your query.

Example

const query: GetStatementsQuery = { ... };
xapi.getStatements(query).then((result: AxiosResponse) => {
  const statementsResponse: StatementsResponse = result.data;
  // do stuff with `statementsResponse.statements`
});

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a StatementsResponse object.

When getting statements with attachments: true, the success data is returned as an array. The first array item is of type StatementsResponse, and the following are of type Part and are the attachments supplied with the statement.

getMoreStatements

To be used in conjunction with getStatements. If the more property is populated on your initial request, more data is available. Send the value of the more property to this method to get the next page of statements.

Example

const query: GetStatementsQuery = { ... };
xapi.getStatements(query).then((result: AxiosReponse) => {
  // data
  xapi.getMoreStatements(result.data.more).then((result: AxiosResponse) => {
    // more data
  });
});

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a StatementsResponse object or an Array containing StatementsResponse and Part if the original query has attachments: true. When working in TypeScript you may need to cast your result.data return type explicitly as StatementsResponse or StatementsResponseWithAttachments.

voidStatement

Voids a statement in the LRS by the supplied Actor.

Example

const actor: Actor = { ... };
xapi.voidStatement(actor, "abcdefgh-1234");

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing an array of statement ID strings of the void statement.

voidStatements

Voids multiple statements in the LRS by the supplied Actor.

Example

const actor: Actor = { ... };
xapi.voidStatement(actor, ["abcdefgh-1234", "ijklmnop-5678"]);

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing an array of statement ID strings of the void statements.

getVoidedStatement

To receive a single voided statement, you must use the getVoidedStatement method and pass the original statement ID in the query (not the original statement's void statement id). Optionally, you can provide additional parameters to the query to change the data format returned from the LRS.

Example

xapi.getVoidedStatement({statementId: "abcdefgh-1234"}).then((result: AxiosResponse) => {
  const voidStatement: Statement = result.data;
  // do stuff with `voidStatement`
});

Parameters

Returns

This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing the Statement of the supplied voidedStatementId.

When getting a statement with attachments: true, the success data is returned as an array. The first array item is of type Statement, and the following are of type Part and are the attachments supplied with the statement.
