## Canvas HTML Hack

|
|
## Getting Started and Usage
|
|
|
|
<!-- draft -->

|
|
|
|
### Enable Image Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
You must set the `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_FILE_SYNC` environment variable to true. Images need to be available in the `/app/public/` directory in the container so that nextjs will serve them as static files. Images can also be set to public URL's on the web.
|
|
|
|
When an image is detected by canvas manager, it will upload the image to the canvas course and keep a lookup table of the original path/url of the image to the canvas course URL.
|
|
|
|
For Snow College professors, images should be stored in a separate git repo from the `facultyFiles` git repo. Otherwise the `faculty` repository will become cluttered with duplicated large binary images. Set up your volume like this:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ~/projects/facultyFiles:/app/public/images/facultyFiles
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now embed an image in an assignment by adding something like this line.
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
|
|
```
|

# ideas
|
|
|
|
file uploads
|
|
- working on assignments, needs to be added to pages/quizes
|
|
|
|
multi-section support for due dates/times
|
|
|
|
better error handling when files are unparsable
|
|
- currently falling back on orignal file url, need to raise this interaction to the user
|
|
|
|
tighter integration with git
|
|
- regularly make git commits
|
|
- handle merging?
|
|
- maybe a different storage backend?
|
|
- user motivated restore?
|
|
|
|
display days settings
|
|
- hide all sundays (horizontal space)
|
|
|
|
|
|
mermaid charts:
|
|
- inline display
|
|
- merjaidjs has a way to encode the chart as base64 and pass it to a url to get a png back
|
|
- <https://github.com/mermaidjs/mermaid-live-editor/issues/41>
|
|
- aparently not just any base64 encoding works, use their function
|
|
- if the chart gets auto-converted to a png to be displayed, it should work properly on canvas as well
|
|
|
|
remember expanded modules as well as scorll position
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- websocket server to watch file system for changes, notify frontend it should invalidate cache
|
|
- files can be edited in any text editor on the computer and changes are reflected in real time on the site
|
|
- holiday schedule
|
|
- lectures, 1 per day
|
|
- image embedding / upload support for assignments
|
|
- calendar weeks do not dupliacate, some of the first or last days of the calendar show up on the next month
|
|
- scroll position remembered
|
|
- matching questions have distractors
|
|
- `-` in the question can be escaped with `\-` |
