💿 Migrations

After changing the prisma schema, create a migration using following command:

prisma migrate dev --name added_column

Whenever you make changes to your Prisma schema in the future, you manually need to invoke prisma generate in order to accommodate the changes in your Prisma Client API.

📖 Translations

Bot utilizes DeepL API for translating the Galnet articles. To get your API key, go to DeepL and create a developer account for free. The translations are turned off in development environment to save API quota. In order to turn on the translations, you need to set NODE_ENV=production in .env file.
