LineBot - School Management System with LINE Messaging Integration

The LineBot is a student's personal project that functions as a teacher-student interaction and score/course management autoreply bot. It allows for seamless communication and management within a school environment using the LINE messaging app.

Getting Started

To set up and run the LineBot on your local environment, follow these instructions:

Prerequisites

Node.js and npm: Ensure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. You can download and install them from the official website: Node.js.

MySQL Database: You will need MySQL as your database server. You can install it locally or use a remote MySQL database.

Installation

Initialize Node.js Project: In your project directory, initialize a Node.js project and create a package.json file by running the following command:

npm init -y

Install Dependencies: Install the necessary npm packages by running:

npm install dotenv @line/bot-sdk express mysql2

Configure Environment Variables: Create a .env file in your project directory and provide the required credentials. Replace the placeholders with your actual values. Example:

# Line official cridential
export CHANNEL_SECRET=
export CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN=

# Port on the local
export PORT=3000

# To connect the local mysql db
DB_HOST=
DB_USER=
DB_PASSWORD=
DB_NAME=bot

# NGROK to expose localhost for img can be preview in the img funciton
NGROK_LINK=

# This password is use to enter local admin web page
PASSWORD=

Database Setup: Create a MySQL database named "bot" and import the required schema by running the code provided in the .sql file.

Expose Your Local Server: To test the bot with LINE, you can use Ngrok to expose your local server to the internet.

Usage With the LineBot set up, you have your own school management system that interacts via LINE. While the local web UI may be incomplete, it serves as a foundation for building out additional features and functionality.
