discord-bot's Issues

Attendance Date

The attendance command currently says "Attendance for DATE".
We should replace DATE with the actual date. We should not have to write it every time.

Use Datetime to format the date. I prefer the format:

Jan 01

I think year is unnecessary.

Function Refactor

It might be a good idea to create a file, something like 'function-utils' to store all bot functions. Each function call in main would call a function imported from function-utils.

Reaction Roles: Hardcode

I set up the reaction manager function to read reaction role info from a file, but I think this is honestly a little bit overkill for our purposes. It makes sense for scalability (we could implement feature to create an infinite number of roles), but I'm afraid this system might confuse people and make changing or adding roles ironically more difficult.

I would like to change the reaction role command to have each role hardcoded in. i.e. each role is a separate function/path within $rm.

Refactor: Multi-Messages

There are many instances in the program where we want to send multiple lines of text to users. Often, we are doing this with multiple calls to ctx.send('asdf') or similar. I am pretty sure this is a bad practice because it is splitting up what should be one server request into several.

Most if not all instances where we are using ctx.send() multiple times in a row should be replaced by ctx.send("line1\nline2\n...etc")
