mangadex_library

Description:

mangadex library

A dart library to facilitate easier access to the mangadex API
WARNING! In progress library #
The library is currently in an under development and gradually changing state and therefore doesn't contain many of the features and new features and bugs are added often. At the current state of the library, it is able to:

Get login refresh and session tokens
Logout user
Search for Mangas
Get Manga thumbnails/covers
Get manga chapters
Retieve Manga pages
Get logged in user data
Get a user's details
Get an author's details
Manage Custom Lists
Check/Follow/Unfollow a Manga/Group/User
Set/Get the reading status of a manga for the logged in user
Get, Create and Delete Scanlation Groups

Breaking changes from 2.0.0 #
mangadex_library previously was only a set of static functions which were working fine but there were a few number of things that could be handled more gracefully, the issues mainly being:

The single library file became a pile of static functions which made it difficult to understand and work upon
Refreshing of tokens was left to the user to handle manually by only providing the functions to refresh.

Seeing these problems the following breaking changes has been introduced:

The library is now more client based than just static functions, you can now have a MangadexClient instance that upon using the login function will automatically refresh the token every 14 minutes which can be changed if needed. There is also an onrefresh callback function which is run on a successful token refresh to do any custom jobs.
All functions have been placed in their own repositories so that adding of more features in the future can be more easier.

For usage, please refer to the example provided.
ToJson() model methods are NOT STABLE #
The toJson() methods of all json model classes are not stable, this is because mangadex returns a list type [] in case an object is empty, for example a description may become an empty list instead of an empty object if the description is empty.
Quickstart #
A quick demonstration of the API:
import 'package:mangadex_library/mangadex_client.dart';
import 'package:mangadex_library/mangadex_server_exception.dart';
import 'package:mangadex_library/src/client_types/personal_client.dart';

void main() {
printFilenames();
}

void printFilenames() async {
const clientId = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID';
const clientSecret = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET';
// Please refer to https://api.mangadex.org/docs/02-authentication/personal-clients/
// for retrieving Client ID and Client Secret
final client =
MangadexPersonalClient(clientId: clientId, clientSecret: clientSecret);
// this function, needs a mangadex account username and password supplied
// to retrive login token
var username = 'USERNAME'; // Put your username here
var password = 'PASSWORD'; // Put your password here

//The line below uses the login function and takes in
//two String parameters, username and password and returns
//an instance of the Login class
try {
//This login functions logs the user in and sets the login tokens.
await client.login(username, password);

var searchData = await client.search(
query:
'oregairu'); //This is a search function that queries mangadex for the name of a manga
// it returns a Search class instance
// For now, it searches for the Oregairu manga. You may replace the String value with your desired query.

var mangaID = searchData.data![0]
.id; // this line gets the manga ID from the instance of the Search we just obtained
//for demonstration we are talking the manga ID of only the first search result
//Manga ID is unique to every manga and therefore is required to obtain any information regarding it
//For example, chapter pages and thumbnails.
var chapterData = await client.getChapters(
mangaID!); //This function returns an instance of the ChapterData class,
// it contains info on all the chapters of the manga ID it has been provided.

var chapterID = chapterData.data![0]
.id; // This line sets the chapterID variable to the chapter id of
// the first chapter from the chapterData we just got.
//Every chapter has a usique chapter ID and a chapter Hash
//Chapter ID is required to access info of the desired chapter.
//Chapter Hash is required for requesting manga pages.
//All Chapter Hash and Chapter filenames can be requested by using the getBaseUrl() function
var baseUrl = await client.getBaseUrl(chapterID!);
//This look prints all urls to all the pages of the chapterID
baseUrl.chapter!.dataSaver!.forEach((filename) {
print(client.constructPageUrl(
baseUrl.baseUrl!, true, baseUrl.chapter!.hash!, filename));
});
} on MangadexServerException catch (e) {
e.info.errors!.forEach((error) {
print(error
.title); // print error details if a server exception occurs (like invalid username or password)
print(error.detail);
});
}
//disposing of client is needed as the refresh timer will still be running.
client.dispose();
}

The documentation is still under progress using the wiki, I have planned to put in a detailed one and so it will take time.
for now the generated html docs using dartdoc can be found in the doc/api/ folder.
