Adds public cross-system BadgeClass listing

[cmcavoy]

For #119.

Example of the output is here: https://gist.github.com/cmcavoy/7ad769d76c91c8832bdd

@kayelle @jpcameron can you take a look at the gist and let me know if that output is ok?

[ottonomy]

I would really want to see the URL location of the badgeclass as publicly accessible through BadgeKit as part of that output.

@cmcavoy I think you meant @jpcamara and @kayaelle

[kayaelle]

BIG apologies. I gave you the wrong example for the badge class listing. It is way simpler - just a list of badge class locations.

Here's a json example: https://gist.github.com/kayaelle/0ad933c2528fde4b829b

[cmcavoy]

Just to be clear - the list should be of url's pointing at BadgeClasses.

[kayaelle]

Exactly - you can read more here: http://mozilla.github.io/openbadges-directory/#addbadges

[cmcavoy]

Ok, it's updated to match the specification listed on the directory page. Example output https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cmcavoy/cb9de5db668e7f7c3713/raw/4477e0b341eab00bd68162cd1ed34c2abfe12d40/gistfile1.json

What say ye @brianloveswords @christensenep @kayaelle @ottonomy @jpcamara?

[ottonomy]

👍 👍

My only tiny consideration would be that this format is really close to being able to deliver full Badge Class objects, as they appear baked by the current Backpack Issuer API, except that the Backpack uses the "_location" property instead of "location". On the other hand, it seems kind of silly to use "_location" when the only purpose of the list is sharing URLs though.

[cmcavoy]

Noted @ottonomy . Going to move the format discussion to the directory repo. For now I'm going to merge and push this to prod.

[ottonomy]

👍 Given the weirdness in mozilla/openbadges-backpack#1029 I fully support pushing this as is. We should talk in the Standard group about a modern 1.2-forward way of implementing embedded BadgeClasses and IssuerOrganizations.

@cmcavoy when it's ready you can register the endpoint here: http://mozilla.github.io/openbadges-directory/#addbadges

And the badges should get indexed.

I'll get you an issue for backpack endpoint - apologies for delay.

[kayaelle]

Hey @cmcavoy - Looking into why the badgekit badges aren't getting indexed. This url:

http://api.badgekit.org/public/badges
is returning this error:
{"code":"ResourceNotFound","message":"/public/badges does not exist"}

Is this correct endpoint url for the badgekit badges list?

Thanks

[ottonomy]

Did the merged code get deployed on badgekit.org?

#120 (comment).

Hi guys, wasn't this reverted because it had caused a bug? Looks like the endpoint is removed here #122

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding the problem! 😕

[kayaelle]

The last time I spoke to cmcavoy the endpoint had been merged and he registered it as an endpoint with the directory. The directory didn't index it. That was a couple of weeks ago. I only just had chance to look into the indexing issue and the url returned the error. Not clear on timing of when the endpoint was registered and #122. Can ask cmcavoy when he gets back. No urgency on it. Thanks!

It looks to me like the first time you hit this route, you change badgeListName to "badgelist", and all subsequent calls to showAllBadges will now send back data under "badgelist" instead of under "badges".
