Quizlet Helper

What is this?

Use playwright to automate the process of creating a quizlet set from a list of words. In addition, this provides helpful object-oriented wrappers around it, so one may use it as an CLI tool, as well as a library. In addition, extensive use of properties makes it taste very sweet; ost of the attributes are initialized lazily, so speed is not that much of an issue. However, it does not use asyncio, so it is inevitably slower than it could be.

An example looks like this

from yaml import load, Loader
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
from quizlet_helper.folder import Folder
from quizlet_helper.study_set import StudySet, Card
from quizlet_helper.user import User

with open("auth.yml", "r") as f:
    config = load(f, Loader=Loader)
    password, username = config["password"], config["username"]

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
    user = User(username, password, browser)
    folder = Folder(user, name="Barron")
    folder.created = True
    set = StudySet(
        user,
        name="Barron 1",
        cards=[
            Card("abandon", "放弃"),
            Card("ability", "能力"),
        ],
        definition_lang="中文（简体）",
        word_lang="英语",
    )
    set.create()

Bugs

• It is yet to be understood how Quizlet use their weird parameters for Ajax requests. For now, it almost always fall back to use scroll window and dom manipulation to create a set. This is slow, and I hope to improve it in the future.
• I plan to port this to async, especially considering playwright is mainly async. However, this would introduce a lot of effort for error handling, and I am not sure if it is worth it.
• Most importantly, for the sake of robustness of API, it uses a lot of aria-label and text= selector. Since I am a Chinese, all the labels here are described based on one with locale setting of zh-CN. Hence, it is necessary for you to switch your locale to zh-CN if you want to use this. Maybe later, I will reimplement this in locale setting of en-US, or even introduction some globalization techniques to make it more robust.
