Starting your development journey

Step 1. .env file example

Example of ready-to-work .env file:

ENVIRONMENT=development
PORT=8000

BOT_TOKEN=your_token
MONGODB_TOKEN=your_token

ADMIN_IDS=1,2
SUPER_ADMIN_ID=1

Accessing .env data

You can import all this variables from bot_engine.data.env file. There you will see ready-to-use constants loaded right from your .env file.

Step 2. First users! (optional)

You can easily create initial users in your DB by doing this:

1. Create folder "data" with a file "initials_users.py". Place an array of initial users with dictionaries:

INITIAL_USERS = [ { "real_name": "Valeriy", "id": 123, "access_level": "user" or "admin", "any_other_data": any, }, ... ]

Then call method Database().add_users(INITIAL_USERS) to fill your DB with initial users. This is an optional one-time operation for setting up your first users in DB. That's simple!

A data security minute

You can leave the file "initials_users.py" in your project. Just add it to .gitignore to prevent the leakout of the data.

Step 3. Run the bot

Call Bot().start() to start bot. It handles all .env file data automatically using data/env.py file - no need to import / load your .env data
