Duolingo Dashing widget

README.md

Duolingo dashing widget

This is a Dashing job to display Duolingo points for all languages studied by a user

Live demo:

http://camilledashing.herokuapp.com/dashboard

Usage

Put the duolingo.rb file in your /jobs folder

To include the widget in a dashboard, add the following snippet:

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="duolingo" data-view="List" data-unordered="true" data-title="Duolingo" data-moreinfo="# of points per language"></div>
</li>

Settings

The only setting you have to change is the username, which you can set by adding the following line in your config.ru file (the whole example of config.ru is available lower in the gist):

set :duolingo_user, 'username'

New photos are gathered every 2 minutes by default, but you can easily change it on line 5 of duolingo.rb.

config.ru

require 'dashing'

configure do
  set :duolingo_user, 'username'

  helpers do
    def protected!
     # Put any authentication code you want in here.
     # This method is run before accessing any resource.
    end
  end
end

  languages_data = JSON.parse(response.body)["languages"]
  duolingo_report = Array.new
  languages_data.each do |language|
    if language["learning"]
      duolingo_report.push({ label: language["language_string"], value: language["points"]}) 
    end
  end
  duolingo_report.sort! { |a,b| b[:value] <=> a[:value] }
  send_event('duolingo', { items: duolingo_report })
