Welcome to d-back – the backend service that powers the magical d-zone ambient life simulation!

🎯 Project Overview

d-zone is an ambient life simulation where the presence and activity of users in a Discord server subtly influence a living digital environment. Think of it as a digital terrarium that reacts to your community's energy!

d-back serves as the intelligent bridge between Discord servers and the beautiful d-zone frontend. It provides real-time user data through WebSocket connections, creating an immersive experience where every Discord user becomes part of a living, breathing digital ecosystem.

Currently, d-back uses sophisticated mock data to simulate user activity, making it perfect for development, testing, and demonstration purposes.

✨ Features

• 🔌 WebSocket Server: Real-time communication with the d-zone frontend
• 👥 User Activity Simulation: Mock Discord user data with realistic presence states
• 🎨 Role Color Support: Beautiful user representation with Discord role colors
• 🌐 Multi-Server Support: Handle multiple Discord servers simultaneously
• 📊 Status Tracking: Monitor online, idle, DND, and offline user states
• 🔒 OAuth2 Ready: Built-in support for Discord OAuth2 authentication
• 📁 Static File Serving: Serve frontend assets directly from the backend
• 🚀 Easy Configuration: Simple command-line options and programmatic setup
• 🧪 Development Friendly: Comprehensive mock data for testing and development

🛠️ Installation

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/NNTin/d-back.git
   cd d-back
   

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   # On Windows
   python -m venv .venv
   .venv\Scripts\activate
   
   # On macOS/Linux
   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the package:

   # Install in development mode (recommended for contributors)
   pip install -e .
   
   # Or install directly from requirements
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Verify installation:

   d_back --version
   

🚀 Usage

Quick Start

The simplest way to get d-back running:

# Start the server with default settings (localhost:3000)
d_back

# Or run as a Python module
python -m d_back

Command Line Options

# Custom host and port
d_back --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

# Serve custom static files
d_back --static-dir ./my-frontend-build

# Get help
d_back --help

Programmatic Usage

Use d-back in your Python projects:

import asyncio
from d_back.server import WebSocketServer

async def main():
    # Create server instance
    server = WebSocketServer(port=3000, host="localhost")
    
    # Optional: Set up custom callbacks
    server.on_get_user_data = my_user_data_callback
    server.on_get_server_data = my_server_data_callback
    
    # Start the server
    print("Starting d-back server...")
    await server.start()

# Run the server
asyncio.run(main())

Testing the WebSocket Connection

You can test the server using any WebSocket client:

// JavaScript example for testing
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000');

socket.onopen = () => {
    console.log('Connected to d-back!');
    // Request user data for a mock server
    socket.send(JSON.stringify({
        type: 'get_user_data',
        serverId: '232769614004748288'
    }));
};

socket.onmessage = (event) => {
    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
    console.log('Received:', data);
};

⚙️ Configuration

Command Line Arguments

Option	Default	Description
--port	3000	Port to run the WebSocket server on
--host	localhost	Host to bind the server to
--static-dir	Built-in	Directory to serve static files from
--version	-	Show version information

Mock Server Configuration

d-back comes with pre-configured mock Discord servers for testing:

• d-world server (232769614004748288): Main development server with active users
• docs server (482241773318701056): Documentation server
• oauth2 server (123456789012345678): Protected server for OAuth testing
• my repos server (987654321098765432): Repository showcase server

Environment Variables

While d-back doesn't currently use environment variables for configuration, you can extend it easily:

import os
from d_back.server import WebSocketServer

# Example: Use environment variables
port = int(os.getenv('D_BACK_PORT', 3000))
host = os.getenv('D_BACK_HOST', 'localhost')

server = WebSocketServer(port=port, host=host)

Custom Data Providers

Replace mock data with your own:

from d_back.server import WebSocketServer

async def my_user_data_provider(server_id):
    # Your custom logic here
    return {
        "user123": {
            "uid": "user123",
            "username": "MyUser",
            "status": "online",
            "roleColor": "#ff6b6b"
        }
    }

server = WebSocketServer()
server.on_get_user_data = my_user_data_provider
