# Introduction

The ClassCharts API is a typescript wrapper around the ClassCharts API. It
allows you to easily make requests to the ClassCharts API without having to
worry about the underlying implementation of making requests.

## Help

For any help with the library, please join the
[discord](https://discord.gg/DTcwugcgZ2) where you can ask questions and get
help from the community.

# Contributing

Contributions are welcome! There are lots of API endpoints which we simply do
not have access to to implement, so if you have access to them, please consider
contributing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the
[discord](https://discord.gg/DTcwugcgZ2).

# Installation

## Requirements

- Node.js 20 or newer\
  OR
- Deno

## NPM

```bash
npm install classcharts-api
```

## Deno

The imports in the examples are for Node.js, but can easily be substituted for
Deno.

```typescript
import {
  ParentClient,
  StudentClient,
} from "https://deno.land/x/classcharts_api/mod.ts";
```

# Logging In

Before making any requests, you must login to the client. This will get you a
session ID which will be used for all requests.

## Student Client

```typescript
import { StudentClient } from "classcharts-api";

// Date of birth MUST in the format DD/MM/YYYY
const client = new StudentClient("classchartsCode", "01/01/2000");
await client.login();
```

## Parent Client

?> The parent client is not tested, as I do not have access to a parent account.
If you experience any issues, please open an issue or PR.

```typescript
import { ParentClient } from "classcharts-api";

const client = new ParentClient("username", "password");
await client.login();
```

# Universal Methods

Each example expects the client to be already logged in.
