## Requirements
You will need Node.js and a node global package installed in your environement. Yarn is recommended as a package manager and script runner over npm.
### Node and npm
- #### Node installation on Windows
Just go on [official Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/) and download the installer.
Also, be sure to have `git` available in your PATH, `npm` might need it (You can find git [here](https://git-scm.com/)).
- #### Node installation on Ubuntu
You can install nodejs and npm easily with apt install, just run the following commands.
$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm
- #### Other Operating Systems
You can find more information about the installation on the [official Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/) and the [official NPM website](https://npmjs.org/).
If the installation was successful, you should be able to run the following command.
$ node --version
v14.16.1
$ npm --version
7.12.0
If you need to update `npm`, you can make it using `npm`! Cool right? After running the following command, just open again the command line and be happy.
$ npm install npm -g
### Yarn
You can install yarn after installing npm with the following command.
$ npm install --global yarn
If the installation was successful, you should be able to run the following command.
$ yarn --version
1.22.10
## Install
$ git clone https://github.com/joanroig/pcalerts
$ cd pcalerts
$ yarn
## Configure bot
Edit the `config.json` file with your settings. Use the files in the `examples` folder as a reference, and check the [examples README](/examples/README.md) to know about all configurations. See [models.ts](src/models.ts) for a detailed explanation of every configuration.
Edit the `.env` file in the root folder by changing the `BOT_TOKEN` string to connect your Telegram account:
- The `BOT_TOKEN` is provided by https://t.me/botfather, more info here: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api
- The `CHAT_ID` is provided after starting a chat with the Telegram bot. It will be saved automatically in the `.env` file.
If you enable the purchase mode, add those strings in the .env file with your account credentials:
[email protected]
PCC_PASS=userpassword
## Running the project
$ yarn start
To run it on a Raspberry (maybe chmod + x is needed), you can also execute: `run_raspberry.sh`
## Warnings about the purchase
### Cart management
If purchase mode is activated, the bot will add the article into the cart and try to order everything in it. Please keep it empty!
### Payment methods
The transfer option disappears from time to time. If purchase mode is activated, you will need to have a vinculated card.
To vinculate one, follow those steps:
- Add whatever in the cart and start the purchase process.
- Add your credit / debit card, then confirm the purchase. This vinculates the card.
- If you don't need the article you can cancel the purchase [here](https://www.pccomponentes.com/usuarios/panel/mis-pedidos-y-facturas). The card will remain in your account for future usage.
## Known issues
### Login fails, but credentials are right
Edit the `puppeteer-config.json` and set `"debug":true`.
Restart the bot, and in the login attempt check if a captcha appears. Solve it manually after the bot introduces the credentials, and perform a login.
Then set `"debug":false` again and check it the problem is solved.
