67# FormBot

A discord bot for handling responses to generic online forms, through private messages.

This bot was made specially for [HackTheMidlands 4.0](https://hackthemidlands.com/), but is designed to be used for any form.

## Usage

Type `!mentor` anywhere in your server and it will trigger the bot to privately message you the questions on the form.

This bot is designed for a mentoring system, but can be altered to work for different kinds of forms quite easily.

It works with the following fields (however, everything _should_ work):

- all plaintext fields
- checkbox
- radio

### Things to note

- You can change the command from `!mentor`. 
	- _This can be done by renaming the method `async def mentor(ctx):`_
- You can change the final message when all the questions have been asked.

## Development

### Setup a virtual environment

```bash
$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
```

### Install required packages

```bash
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

### Configuation

You will need a token for discord. Follow [this guide](https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc/wiki/Creating-a-discord-bot-&-getting-a-token) to get one.

Add the token, and URL for the form you want to use to `config.yaml`.

```yaml
url:

discord:
  token:
  start_message: "Hello there! I'm here to help"
  end_message: "Someone will be over to help you shortly!"
  embed_title: "Respond with one of the options below"
  prefix: "!"
```

### Run

```bash
$ python3 -m formbot
```
