Write a statement

As a xAPI statement is a JSON object sent to the Learning Record Store (LRS), there are many options to write a statement.

xAPI Lab Form

1. Go to https://adlnet.github.io/xapi-lab/.
2. Fill out the form
3. Get the statement from the Statement Editor box.

{
    "actor": {
        "account": {
            "name": "Guest"
        },
        "objectType": "Agent"
    },
    "verb": {
        "id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/launched",
        "display": {
            "en-US": "launched"
        }
    },
    "object": {
        "id": "https://xapistatementbox.github.io",
        "definition": {
            "description": {
                "en-US": "Demo"
            }
        },
        "objectType": "Activity"
    }
}

Code (xAPI Wrapper/JavaScript)

1. Create a HTML page.
2. Download script from https://github.com/adlnet/xAPIWrapper and embed.

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/xapiwrapper.min.js"></script>

3. Add JavaScript to create statement.

    //define the xapi statement being sent from scratch
    var statement = new ADL.XAPIStatement(
    new ADL.XAPIStatement.Agent(ADL.XAPIWrapper.hash('mailto:guest@URL.url'), 'Guest'),
    new ADL.XAPIStatement.Verb('http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/launched', 'launched'),
    new ADL.XAPIStatement.Activity('https://xapistatementbox.github.io', 'Demo')
    );

4. Get string from the JSON object.

   JSON.stringify(statement, null, 4)

The above example writes this statement:

{
"actor": {
    "objectType": "Agent",
    "name": "Guest",
    "mbox_sha1sum": "eebc17aa5e5dbf9a5a291d47063c6d296f3ebd62"
},
"verb": {
    "id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/launched",
    "display": {
        "en-US": "launched"
    }
},
"object": {
    "objectType": "Activity",
    "id": "https://xapistatementbox.github.io",
    "definition": {
        "name": {
            "en-US": "Demo"
        }
    }
}
}

Editor

1. Open a text editor.
2. Write the statement from scratch as JSON.
