RozsdásFilc: E-Kréta console client in Rust

E-Kréta is an awful Hungarian electronic school administration system

Magyar leírás

Installation

• EZ mode: grab a prebuilt binary from releases

if not available for your platform (file an issue), not a preferred method or feels a bit outdated:

• Rust
• cargo install --locked rsfilc

for latest, beta builds: cargo install --locked --git "https://codeberg.org/jark/rsfilc"

Shell completions:

Usage

general help: rsfilc --help
creating a new user: rsfilc user --create <USER_ID>

useful stuff

• when in doubt, be sure to check rsfilc --help first
• if you'd like to have instant replies, only loading cached data, not caring about latest changes on the server, you shall try setting the environment variable NO_NET to 1, eg. on linux: NO_NET=1 rsfilc timetable
• if you feel like refreshing your cache, you'd do (again on linux): NO_CACHE=1 rsfilc absences, but don't forget rsfilc user --cache-dir either
• if your lessons are over for a day, and say: rsfilc (timetable|tt), the next day with lessons will be shown by default, to show today you could: rsfilc tt +0 or rsfilc tt -- -0

Features

renaming

like: teachers, subjects, ...
check out the config path with rsfilc --config-path and edit rename to your liking
you may wanna check out example config if you don't feel like renaming at all at a specific moment, use NO_RENAME=1 (note: this won't apply to already cached data)

Acknowledgements

• dependencies used (although many of them wouldn't be necessary with a proper API, this is not the case with e-kréta.)
• See ekreta-rs, which provides the API client for E-Kréta
