canvas-partial-simulator

Partially simulates a Canvas instance, handling OAuth token exchanges and forwarding API requests

Setup:

• Initialize this Canvas simulation:

const initCanvasSimulation = require('canvas-partial-simulator');

initCanvasSimulation({
  accessToken: /* real access token for a user in Canvas */,
  consumerKey: /* the consumer key for the LTI app */,
  consumerSecret: /* the consumer secret for the LTI app */,
  canvasHost: /* the hostname for the real Canvas instance */,
  launchURL: /* the launch URL of the app, defaults to localhost/launch */,
});

• Set your app's client id to client_id and its client secret to client_secret. These are your app's developerCredentials, not installationCredentials.

• Set your app's canvasHost to localhost:8080.

Usage:

Simulated LTI launches

To simulate an LTI launch, visit: https://localhost:8088/course/:courseid/launch.
