Apollo

Apollo is a Discord bot for the University of Warwick Computing Society. It is designed to augment our Discord server with a few of the user services available on our website.

Apollo is based loosely on the development of artemis, another Discord bot produced by a member of UWCS.

Installation

To run this bot, create a new Python virtual environment (version 3.6 or above) and use pip install -r requirements.txt to install all of the library requirements. You will also need to migrate the database using alembic after the Python libraries are installed.

Contributor Notes

• When writing anything that needs to reply back to a specific username, please do from utils import get_name_string and get the display string using this function, with the discord Message object as the argument (e.g. display_name = get_name_string(ctx.message)). This will return either a discord username, formatted correctly, or an irc nickname depending on the source of the message. Finally, this can be used as normal in a format string e.g. await ctx.send(f'Sorry {display_name}, that won't work.').

• When writing a new command, please read in the rest of the message using *args: clean_content (see commands/flip.py as an example), and if you need it as one large string, use " ".join(args). This is instead of reading the whole message content, which will likely break the irc bridging (unless you know what you're doing).

• This project uses the Black Python formatter. Before submitting your code for a PR, run black . on the root directory of this project to bring all of your up to spec for the code style guide.
