Secret santa is a fun and easy way to get together with your friends and/or family with a gift for them.
The idea is to have a list of friends and/or family members and then randomly select a person to get a gift for.
- Copy the
configExample.jsonfile and rename itconfig.jsonthen add the partipant's names : you have to add the name of the person and his email address like in the example. - You can edit the
textMailvalue in theconfig.jsonfile to change the text of the email sent to the person ({0}represent the person to whom you will gift and{1}represent your name and\nare for line breaks). - You can add couples if you want to avoid couples gifting their partner (leave it empty if you don't have couples or don't care if they can gift each other), the names in the couple must be exactly the same as the name of the persons.
- You can add the last draw if you want to avoid a person to gift the same person as last year (leave it empty if you don't care or if it's the first year), the names in the last draw must be exactly the same as the name of the persons.
- You can add a discord webhook url to send the draw to a discord channel (leave it empty if you don't want to use it). Webhooks are sent in embed with spoiler.
- If you want to see the draw, set spoiler to
truein theconfig.jsonfile (not recommanded if you participate), else it will be sent by email. Discord webhook will always be sent anyways. - If
spoileris set to false, the draw will be sent by email, so you have to add your email address (and password) in theconfig.jsonfile, the example is made for gmail addresses, but you can configure if for another service. If you use a gmail adresse, you will have to go on https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and enable the use of less secure apps.
There are 4 rules defined in this code:
- You can't gift yourself (or this will be a sad Christmas)
- You can't gift your partner if you are in a registred couple in config.json
- You can't gift back the person who gifted you
- You can't gift the same person twice
