README

A Mozilla OpenBadges issuer implementation for TYPO3 Flow and Neos

What does it do?

This package provides the infrastructure to issue OpenBadges badges from a TYPO3 Neos system. The badge classes can be managed with a backend module and several REST endpoints provide assertion metadata for hosted assertions. A node type to reward a badge once one or multiple validations of an assertion are complete is supplied.

Installation

Add the composer package to your composer.json:

composer require networkteam/openbadges

Add the routes for the Networkteam.OpenBadges package to Configuration/Routes.yaml:

##
# Networkteam OpenBadges subroutes

-
  name: 'Open Badges'
  uriPattern: 'openbadges/<NetworkteamOpenBadgesSubroutes>'
  subRoutes:
    'NetworkteamOpenBadgesSubroutes':
      package: 'Networkteam.OpenBadges'

The backend module, node types, TypoScript and JavaScript are automatically registered once the package is installed.

A Networkteam.OpenBadges:BadgeReward node should be placed on document nodes to reward a badge. The inspector allows to choose a badge class that will be rewarded.

Implement the server-side code to assert one step of the badge assertion (e.g. in a quiz plugin):

$assertionStep = $this->badgeAsserter->assertStep($badgeClass, $node->getIdentifier());
$result['badgeAssertionStep'] = array(
              'badgeClassIdentifier' => $this->persistenceManager->getIdentifierByObject($badgeClass),
              'stepIdentifier' => $assertionStep->getIdentifier(),
              'token' => $assertionStep->getToken()
      );

Send the result to the client-side (e.g. in an AJAX response) and call a method to register the validated assertion step:

Networkteam.OpenBadges.assertionStepValidated(result.badgeClassIdentifier, result.stepIdentifier, result.token);

Once all steps are validated, a modal dialog will be shown that allows to claim the badge and send it to a Mozilla Backpack account.

Open issues

This package is work in progress and not yet stable for production.
