blackboardlib v0.0.5

BlackboardAPI

An API to communicate with a Blackboard server. This can be used to build apps on the Blackboard platform that can either be hosten on-site or off-site through the use of special loaders.

This project is still in its infancy, meaning that it will not work fully until a stable release is published.

Currently, the build process relies on webpack which in turn uses npm and the Typescript compiler with separate configuration files. This might change in the future.
