- You and your friends want to do this "Secret Santa" thing that is trending these days, but you don't know how to do it ?
- You're too lazy to do a draw with papers, and you cannot find a website that will do the draw for you ?
- You wanna impress your girlfriend this year by saying the words "Scala" and "Chrismas" in the same sentence ?
Then this application is definitely for you ! It allow to enter the list of your friend's names and then do the Secret Santa draw for you.
But wait ! There's more ! It will also send an email to each person in your group and tell them who they must offer a gift to. Garanted 100% without bugs !
You can also disabled some specific cases (eg: there is a couple / 2 people who don't like each other and you don't want them to offer a gift to each other, or you already did a draw last Christmas).
Before running this, you have to do some configuration ! All the config is done in the src/main/scala/nowel/Config.scala file.
You have to declare a Person object for each of your friends (including you) and fill their name and email,
and then declare for each person the list of person they cannot offer a gift to.
This is done by adding a PersonWithExclusions object to the list named personsWithExclusions,
and the exclusion is done by setting the exclusions parameter.
You must also modify the email settings by providing a valid smtp config.
Once everything is configurated, just do:
sbt run
