Add Crate

cargo add aoc_api

use aoc_api::Session;

Session initialization

let client = Session::new("session cookie": String, year: u16, day: u8); // Initializes a new Session instance

let client = Session::new("session cookie": String, input: String, pattern: Regex); // Initializes a new Session instance

The Regex overload needs to have a regex group named "year" and a group named "day".

Features

Get input

let input_text: Result<String, Box<dyn Error>> = client.get_input_text().await; // Retrieves the input text of the AoC puzzle
let input_lines: Result<Vec<String>, Box<dyn Error>> = client.get_input_lines().await; // Retrieves the input lines of the AoC puzzle

Get sample input

let sample_input_text: Result<String, Box<dyn Error>> = client.get_sample_input_text(nth: u8).await; // Retrieves the nth sample input text of the AoC puzzle
let sample_input_lines: Result<Vec<String>, Box<dyn Error>> = client.get_sample_input_lines(nth: u8).await; // Retrieves the nth sample input lines of the AoC puzzle

Get achieved stars

let achieved_stars: Result<HashMap<u16, u8>, Box<dyn Error>> = client.get_all_stars().await; // Retrieves each year's number of stars earned (key: year, value: stars)

Submit answer

let response: Result<Response, Box<dyn Error>> = client.submit_answer(part: u8, answer: &str).await; // Submits an answer to part 1 or 2 of the AoC puzzle. Returns a response type with a success status and a cooldown period
