canvas 0.7.0

SDK to customize event-driven actions in your Canvas instance

Getting Started

Create a file ~/.canvas/credentials.ini and add the client_id and client_secret credentials for each of your Canvas instances. You can define your default host with is_default=true. If no default is explicitly defined, the Canvas CLI will use the first instance in the file as the default for each of the CLI commands.

Example:

[my-canvas-instance]
client_id=myclientid
client_secret=myclientsecret

[my-dev-canvas-instance]
client_id=devclientid
client_secret=devclientsecret
is_default=true

[localhost]
client_id=localclientid
client_secret=localclientsecret

Next, you're ready to install canvas.
