- Admins can easily add or remove items from the database by simply texting the bot. No need to use a separate computer for database management. Multiple admins can be authorised.
- For Admins
The bot stores admin information in admin.txt file. This file is automatically made if the file does not exist in program's root folder. The information about admin is stored in JSON format. It includes 'from' information which is sent by the bot. Multiple admins can be authorised and are stored in the following manner:
{"123456789": {"id": 123456789, "is_bot": false, "first_name": "Ashwin", "username": "abcd", "language_code": "en"}}
- For lost items list
Lost items list is stored in JSON format in items_data_raw.txt. This file is made automatically by the program if the file does not exist in root folder. Information is stored in following JSON format along with the admin info who added the item.
{"umbrella": [{"name": "umbrella", "img": "ADDED"}, {"id": 123456789, "is_bot": false, "first_name": "Ashwin", "username": "abcd", "language_code": "en"}]}
Once an item is added the bot marks "img" key as "NA". When the same admin sends an image file next time, the bot reads the JSON data and sees for which item the "img" key is "NA" and saves the image file in .png format in program's root directory with the file name same as the item name sent before ( in "name" key). Once the image is stored locally the JSON details of that item is modified with "img" key made "ADDED". Next time when someone taps on that item name from user panel the same image is forwarded!
