## Installation
```shell
gem install moodle
```

## Usage
To use this gem you must first have configured the moodle web services. To do that use the official documentation.

### Without a token
If you don't have a token, you can create an instance of the client using your username and password.
The client will then obtain a token for you.
```ruby
client = Moodle::Client.new(
  :username => 'myusername',
  :password => 'secret',
  :protocol => 'rest',
  :domain => 'http://mydomain/moodle',
  :service => 'myservice',
  :format => 'json'
)
```

### Using a token
If you already have a token the client can be created without a username and password:
```ruby
client = Moodle::Client.new(
  :token => 'b31dde13bade28f25d548a31fa994816',
  :protocol => 'rest',
  :domain => 'http://mydomain/moodle',
  :service => 'myservice',
  :format => 'json'
)
```

### Short syntax
When creating the client you can use a shorter and simpler syntax:
```ruby
client = Moodle.new(
  :token => 'b31dde13bade28f25d548a31fa994816',
  :protocol => 'rest',
  :domain => 'http://mydomain/moodle',
  :service => 'myservice',
  :format => 'json'
)
```

### Global configuration
Configuration can be set globally.
```ruby
# Using a hash
Moodle.configure(
  :token => 'b31dde13bade28f25d548a31fa994816',
  :protocol => 'rest',
  :domain => 'http://mydomain/moodle',
  :service => 'myservice',
  :format => 'json'
)

# Using a file
Moodle.configure_with(/path/to/yaml/file)

client = Moodle.new
```

Once you have an instance of the client it's only a matter of calling the moodle web services functions.

## Protocols
Moodle implements 4 protocols: AMF, REST, SOAP, XML-RPC. Currently this gem only supports REST.

## Services
These are the currently implemented web services functions:
