img_to_script-mk90_client_api

Provides a handy API between an img_to_mk90_bas application and the img_to_script gem. Instead of working with the img_to_script objects directly, just pass a hash with parameters to the img_to_script-mk90_client_api. This is handy when you get the parameters as a JSON string, e.g. from a web front-end.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "img_to_script-mk90_client_api"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install img_to_script-mk90_client_api

Usage

ImgToScript::MK90ClientAPI.call(query) -> Array<String>

Argument

query: hash with parameters.

Returns

Generated BASIC program.

Raises

• ImgToScript::MK90ClientAPI::QueryError

A key is missing, has a value of an unsupported type, or has an illegal value.

• ImgToScript::MK90ClientAPI::InvalidImage

Invalid image: the image can't be decoded from the base64 string.
