API Reference

FastAPI Endpoint Example

Here’s an example of a FastAPI endpoint that handles exercise creation:

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import List, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel

router = APIRouter()

class Exercise(BaseModel):
    id: str
    type: Literal["drag_drop", "matching", "fill_in_blank"]
    question: str
    options: Optional[List[str]] = None
    correct_answer: str
    points: int

@router.post("/api/exercises", response_model=Exercise)
async def create_exercise(exercise: Exercise):
    try:
        # Here you would typically store the exercise in a database or process it
        return exercise
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

React UI Component Example

Here’s a React component snippet that implements a basic drag-and-drop interface using HTML5 draggable attribute:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

interface Question {
    id: string;
    type: string;
    question: string;
    options?: string[];
    correctAnswer: string;
}

const InteractiveExercise = ({ exercise }: { exercise: Question }) => {
    const [isDragging, setIsDragging] = useState(false);
    const [score, setScore] = useState(0);

    const handleDragStart = (e: React.DragEvent) => {
        e.dataTransfer.setData("text/plain", e.target.id);
        setIsDragging(true);
    };

    const handleDragEnd = () => {
        setIsDragging(false);
    };

    return (
        <div className="exercise-container">
            <h2>{exercise.question}</h2>
            {exercise.type === "drag_drop" && (
                <div className="options-container">
                    {exercise.options?.map((option, index) => (
                        <div
                            key={index}
                            id={`option-${index}`}
                            draggable={true}
                            onDragStart={handleDragStart}
                            onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}
                        >
                            {option}
                        </div>
                    ))}
                </div>
            )}
            {/* Add similar conditionals for other exercise types */}
        </div>
    );
};

export default InteractiveExercise;

Data Schema Example (Pydantic)

Here’s the Pydantic schema for defining exercises:

from pydantic import BaseModel, Literal
from typing import List, Optional

class Exercise(BaseModel):
    id: str
    type: Literal["drag_drop", "matching", "fill_in_blank"]
    question: str
    options?: List[str]
    correct_answer: str
    points: int

# Example usage:
exercise_data = {
    "id": "1",
    "type": "drag_drop",
    "question": "Which of these items belong together?",
    "options": ["apple", "banana", "orange", "fruit"],
    "correct_answer": "fruit",
    "points": 10
}

Exercise(**exercise_data).dict()  # Validates and returns the exercise data

Description

This module integrates seamlessly with modern web frameworks and provides developers with the necessary tools to create interactive learning experiences.
