  1. Create a .env file in the root directory containing the environment variables as specified in the .env.sample file in the repository
  2. Create a config folder in the root directory containing:
    1. classrooms.json - an array of all the classrooms
    2. courses.json - an array of the names of all courses
    3. information.json - an array of all the course information
    4. participants.json - an array of all courses and their number of participants
    5. prerequisites.json - an array of course prerequisites
    6. professors.json - an array of all courses and their professors and assistants
    7. roles.json - roles for the scripts and for the embeds
    8. sessions.json - an object of all exam sessions
    9. staff.json - an array of the staff

Sessions

Create a sessions folder in the root directory. All the session schedule files should go there. The files names should match the respective names in the sessions.json config file.

Logging

The bot logs info and above messages in the console, and logs debug and above messages in bot.log, which gets wiped on every bot restart.

Future

Here is a list of features that are planned:

  • Moving away from configuration files as much as possible, and keeping everything in the database
