How to integrate Lovable with Edmodo?

Creating the Edmodo Integration Service File

In your Lovable project, create a new file named EdmodoService.ts in an appropriate folder (for example, in a new folder called services). This file will contain the TypeScript code that communicates with Edmodo's API. Since Lovable does not have a terminal, dependencies must be included using script tags. We will use Axios from a CDN for HTTP requests.

Add the following CDN in your main HTML file (for example, index.html) within the <head> section:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

Now, create your service file (EdmodoService.ts) with this content:


export class EdmodoService {
  private clientId: string = 'YOUREDMODOCLIENT_ID';
  private clientSecret: string = 'YOUREDMODOCLIENT_SECRET';
  private redirectUri: string = 'YOUREDMODOREDIRECT_URI'; // Update with your Lovable redirect URL.
  private apiBaseUrl: string = 'https://api.edmodo.com';

  // Returns the URL to redirect users to Edmodo's OAuth consent screen.
  public getAuthorizationUrl(): string {
    return ${this.apiBaseUrl}/oauth/authorize?client_id=${this.clientId}&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(this.redirectUri)}&response_type=code;
  }

  // Exchanges the authorization code for an access token.
  public async getAccessToken(code: string): Promise<string> {
    const response = await (window as any).axios.post(${this.apiBaseUrl}/oauth/token, {
      client_id: this.clientId,
      client_secret: this.clientSecret,
      redirect_uri: this.redirectUri,
      code: code,
      granttype: 'authorizationcode'
    });
    return response.data.access_token;
  }

  // Retrieves the user profile information using the access token.
  public async getUserProfile(accessToken: string): Promise<any> {
    const response = await (window as any).axios.get(${this.apiBaseUrl}/me, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: Bearer ${accessToken}
      }
    });
    return response.data;
  }
}

export default new EdmodoService();

Updating the Main Application File to Start the Integration

In your main Lovable project file (for example, src/main.ts), you need to add code that uses the EdmodoService. First, import the service then create a button that initiates the OAuth process with Edmodo.

Add the following code at an appropriate location in your main.ts file:


import EdmodoService from './services/EdmodoService';

// Attach an event listener to a button (which we will create in our HTML) that starts the Edmodo login.
document.getElementById('edmodo-login')?.addEventListener('click', () => {
  window.location.href = EdmodoService.getAuthorizationUrl();
});

Ensure that your HTML (for example, index.html) includes a button with the id "edmodo-login". Add this where appropriate in your page’s body:


<button id="edmodo-login">Login with Edmodo</button>

Handling the OAuth Redirect and Processing the Code

After the user logs in on Edmodo, they are redirected back to your Lovable application with an authorization code. Add the following function in your main.ts file to detect the “code” parameter in the URL, exchange it for an access token, and then retrieve the user’s profile:


async function handleEdmodoRedirect() {
  const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  const code = params.get('code');
  if (code) {
    try {
      const accessToken = await EdmodoService.getAccessToken(code);
      const userProfile = await EdmodoService.getUserProfile(accessToken);
      console.log('Edmodo user profile:', userProfile);
      // You can now use the userProfile data in your Lovable project as needed.
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error during Edmodo OAuth process:', error);
    }
  }
}

handleEdmodoRedirect();

Final Integration Checks

Ensure that you update the placeholders YOUREDMODOCLIENTID, YOUREDMODOCLIENTSECRET, and YOUREDMODOREDIRECT_URI in EdmodoService.ts with your actual Edmodo application credentials.
Verify that the Axios CDN script is correctly added to your HTML file so that the service code can use Axios without needing terminal-based installations.
Make sure that any changes you make are saved and that the updated files are reloaded in the browser to reflect the integration.

Using the Integration

When a user clicks the "Login with Edmodo" button, they will be redirected to Edmodo’s authentication page.
Upon successful authentication, Edmodo redirects back to your Lovable application where the code in handleEdmodoRedirect() processes the incoming authorization code.
You can then update your UI or store user data as needed based on the profile information received.
