canvas-tui is a terminal interface that allows you to view statistics scraped from the Canvas API.
The goal of this project is to not only allow easy viewing of upcoming assignments and due dates, but to provide new metrics and data visualizations that are not included in the default canvas interface.
The top bar is called the tab bar, and there should be one tab per enrolled course, plus a dashboard. You can use the h and l keys to navigate left and right respectively, and Enter to make a selection.
On a course page, you can use j and k to scroll down and up the list of pages provided by the canvas course. press Space to select a page. Currently only a few generic page types are supported for native viewing. To open any page in the browser, simply press o while viewing that page.
TO generate a new canvas token, head to your Canvas Settings -> Approved Integrations -> Generate New Token.
Name it whatever you want, but save the generated token. The config.yaml file should be in $HOME/.config/canvas-tui, with the following contents:
canvasdomain: "https://your.schools.canvas.com"
canvastoken: "token from earlier"Yes, it is quite slow to start up for a TUI application. This is because the vast majority of API calls and data processing are happening at startup, so it is limited to the speed of the API. However once loaded, it should be quite snappy.
