The grade command reads files in the following format from standard input (angle brackets denote a variable):

<CANVAS_USER_ID>: <POINTS>
<CANVAS_USER_ID>: <COMMENT>

Points do not need comments, and comments do not need grades.

Multiple comment lines for the same user id will be joined together into a single comment before uploading.

Config File

Placing a configuration file grading/config.toml in the configuration directory for your system allows you to set the options needed to access Canvas.

Passing options will override each individually.

course_id = "<COURSE_ID>"
access_token = "<ACCESS_TOKEN>"
base_url = "<CANVAS_URL>"
