Node based server to deliver rostering information using multiple protocols (e.g., OneRoster, Ed-Fi, etc.) Written to supply data for clients and unit/acceptance tests, currently OneRoster v1.0 is supported, with OneRoster v1.1 and Ed-Fi on-deck.

Getting started

Install the project's dependencies:

npm install

Edit config.js to set the database connection and server settings.

db.host = 'localhost';
db.user = 'uniroster';
db.password = 'password';
db.database = 'uniroster'

config.httpActive = true;
config.httpPort = 3000;

config.httpsActive = false;
config.httpsPort = 3443;
config.httpsCert = './bin/cert.pem';
config.httpsPrivateKey = './bin/key.pem';

Configure your datasets (see below).

Start the server:

node uniroster-server

Data sets The rostering data is stored in one or more MySQL databases along with a database called uniroster that maps OAuth credentials to a dataset (database). To add additional datasets, add rows to uniroster that specifies the dataset name, client_id, client_password, and name of the database to be used.

A list of datasets can be viewed by navigating to the server's root address (http:https://localhost:3000/).

For real-world uses of the server, this endpoint should be disabled as it enumerates the datasets along with the client_id and client-password needed to access the data.

OneRoster

OneRoster CSV files can be imported into a MySQL database using a tool like SQLYog (database->import->import external data). If you use SQLYog. all of the tables will be created and populated from the OneRoster files. Any metadata fields will be imported and will be returned when queried.

OneRoster v.1 endpoint:

http:/localhost:3000/learningdata/v1
