Usage

Create a remote LRS using basic auth

  c.end_point = 'https://some.endpoint.com'
  c.user_name = 'user'
  c.password = 'password'
end

Connect to the 'about' endpoint to get version information

# use the remote LRS from above
response = remote_lrs.about
# check if it is successful
if response.success
    # access the TinCanApi::About instance
    response.content
end

Create a statement

agent = TinCanApi::Agent.new(mbox: 'mailto:info@tincanapi.com')
verb = TinCanApi::Verb.new(id: 'http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/attempted')
activity = TinCanApi::Activity.new(id: 'http://pwcoleman.github.com/TinCanRuby')

statement = TinCanApi::Statement.new do |s|
  s.actor = agent
  s.verb = verb
  s.object = activity
end

response = remote_lrs.save_statement(statement)
if response.success
  # access the statement
  response.content
end
