Taskcamp Api

Summary

This is the core API library for Taskcamp, by In the Loft Studios. It should be used by clients wishing to work with this application.

At the heart, it defines a new serialzation format which is a combination of HTML, YAML, and markdown to represent complicated data relationships, which look like the following. See this page for more info.

The corresponding MIME type is: application/prs.taskcamp.entity.

<type property="123"/>
---
attribute: value
---
# title

body

PHP

Installation

composer require aklump/taskcamp_api

Usage

Deserialize

This is what a JSON representation of an \AKlump\Taskcamp\API\Entity looks like:

{
    "type": "bug",
    "properties": {
        "projectName": "My Project",
        "projectId": 123
    },
    "data": {
        "device": "mac",
        "os": {
            "name": "macosx",
            "version": "10.13.6"
        }
    },
    "title": "The title has too much top margin",
    "body": ""
}

Here is how you would deserialize a JSON string, like the one above.

use AKlump\Taskcamp\API\Entity;
use AKlump\Taskcamp\API\EntityEncoder;
use AKlump\Taskcamp\API\EntitySerializer;

$serializer = new EntitySerializer();
$entity = $serializer->deserialize($json, Entity::class, 'json');

If the data was encoded in another format you would use either of these:

$entity = $serializer->deserialize($entity_markup, Entity::class, EntityEncoder::TYPE);
$entity = $serializer->deserialize($xml, Entity::class, 'xml');

Serialize

Here's how you would serialize an object into EntityEncoder::TYPE format.

$entity = new Entity();
$entity
    ->setType('feature')
    ->setTitle('Augment the footer with another section')
    ->setBody('In order to fit in the about section in the footer, we need to create a fourth column that can take a custom block.  The block needs to be added to the region so the client can edit it.')
    ->setProperties(['projectId' => 123])
    ->setData(['prioritye' => 'high']);
$markup = $serializer->serialize($entity, EntityEncoder::TYPE);

And this is how that format looks:

<feature projectId="123"/>
---
priority: high
---
# Augment the footer with another section

In order to fit in the about section in the footer, we need to create a fourth column that can take a custom block.  The block needs to be added to the region so the client can edit it.
