# AttendanceUC
Welcome to AttendanceUC, a barcode attendance system for HackUC II using AirTable, PyBarcode, and Python3. Though we designed it specifically for our event, it is generally applicable to any event.
## How to Use the Barcode Generator
Here are some general steps for setting up the Barcode Generator for your event.
### Setting up your API Keys
Go to this [page](https://airtable.com/account) on AirTable and this [page](https://dev.filestack.com/apps/) on Filestack to generate your API keys.
### Installing Dependencies
Here are the python packages you need to install to set up:
```bash
pip3 install PyBarcode Pillow requests
```
### Setting Up your Environment
To set up your API key, you have to modify the `barcodeGenerator/airtableSecret.json` file:
```json
{
"AIRTABLE_KEY": "INSERT_API_KEY_HERE",
"AIRTABLE_URL": "INSERT_URL_HERE"
}
```
## Running the program
Once you've setup your config.json file in the barcodeGenerator directory to match your desired roles and prefixes, run the following command to generate barcodes for your participants.
```bash
python3 barcodeGenerator.py
```
