Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Invitation:
  course-id: string
  id: string
  role: string
  user-id: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . course-id=kasd
    • Identifier of the course to invite the user to.
  • id=sadipscing
    • Identifier assigned by Classroom. Read-only.
  • role=tempor
    • Role to invite the user to have. Must not be COURSE_ROLE_UNSPECIFIED.
  • user-id=sea
    • Identifier of the invited user. When specified as a parameter of a request, this identifier can be set to one of the following: * the numeric identifier for the user * the email address of the user * the string literal &#34;me&#34;, indicating the requesting user

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
