A&W Teen Burger Deal Notification App

Overview

The A&W Burger Deal Notification App is designed to notify you when there is a $2 Teen burger deal on the A&W App through a toast notification on Windows 10.

How It Works

The A&W Burger Deal Notification App seamlessly integrates with your daily routine to ensure you never miss out on a special $2 Teen Burger offer whenever the Toronto Maple Leafs play. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the app functions:

NHL Schedule Fetching: The app communicates with the NHL's official API (https://api-web.nhle.com/) to retrieve the game schedule for the Toronto Maple Leafs. This operation is performed every 24 hours to ensure the app has the most up-to-date information.
Date Comparison: Utilizing the datetime library, the app compares the current date with the Maple Leafs' game schedule. This step is crucial for determining whether there's a game on any given day.
Notification Alert: If the app detects a match between today's date and a game day, it triggers a Windows notification. This alert serves as a friendly reminder that a $2 Teen Burger offer is available at A&W, tied to the Maple Leafs' game day.

By leveraging real-time data and timely notifications, the A&W Burger Deal Notification App ensures that you're always in the loop about the next opportunity to enjoy a discounted Teen Burger during Toronto Maple Leafs games.

Error Resolution

If you receive the following error:

TypeError: WPARAM is simple, so must be an int object (got NoneType)

This indicates an issue with the handling of notification events. To resolve this, you need to update a function in the win10toast library, which is responsible for the toast notifications.

Steps to Fix the Error:

Find the win10toast Directory: Locate the win10toast directory inside your environment directory. This is typically found under Lib\site-packages\win10toast if you're using a virtual environment, or in your global Python site-packages directory.
Modify __init__.py: Open the __init__.py file within the win10toast directory for editing.

Replace the on_destroy Function: In the __init__.py file, find the on_destroy function and replace it with the following code:

def on_destroy(self, hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam):
    """Clean after notification ended.

    See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/wm-destroy#return-value
    :hwnd:
    :msg:
    :wparam:
    :lparam:
    """
    nid = (self.hwnd, 0)
    Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_DELETE, nid)
    PostQuitMessage(0)

    return 0

This code is adapted from a pull request on the win10toast GitHub repository, specifically pull request #115.

Save Changes: After replacing the function, save the changes to the __init__.py file.
Restart the App: Close and restart the A&W Burger Deal Notification App to ensure the changes take effect.

Additional Information

It's always a good practice to back up the original __init__.py file before making any changes.
Ensure that your Python environment has the necessary permissions to modify the files in the site-packages directory.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TypeError and ensure that the notification functionality of the A&W Burger Deal Notification App works correctly.
