EPITECH-API

This is a Rust library built on top of reqwest for interacting with the EPITECH intranet.
This library focuses on ease-of-use and type-safety.

I am quite new at Rust and even more so in Rust library design, so any help or idea to improve the API is very much welcome.

Goal

This library attempts to make use of the type-system and the builder-pattern to make sure that if the code compiles, all intranet requests at runtime are guaranteed to be valid.

It also aims to stick a type on intranet resources so that every possible members are clearly represented and safely accessible (through custom Deserialize trait implementations).

How to use

Everything originates from the EpitechClient struct.

You can create an EpitechClient this way: ``rust let result = EpitechClient::builder() .autologin("[INSERT AUTOLOGIN LINK HERE]") .authenticate(); // This returns aResult`.

let client = match result { Ok(client) => client, Err(err) => , // Handle authentication error here. }; ``` Right after this, you're already authenticated to the intranet and ready to proceed with requests.

You can, for instance, request the list of all students in a promotion this way: rust // This makes the request and returns a `Result<Vec<UserEntry>, EpitechClientError>`. let result = api.fetch_student_list() .location(Location::Strasbourg) .promo(Promo::Tek2) .year(2017) .send();

make_request allows you to make an arbitrary request to the intranet (therefore also losing type-safety): rust // Notice that only the path component of the route can be passed to the method. let my_student_infos = match client.make_request("/user") { Ok(text) => , // Here, `text` represents the raw intranet response body. Err(err) => , // Handle request error here. };
