# Add new entries in configuration file

Adding a new entry to the QBittorrentBot configuration file involves several steps:

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ch3p4ll3/QBittorrentBot.git

• Navigate to the folder: src/configs

• Modify the pydantic class: Identify the pydantic class where the new entry should be added. Add a new attribute to the class to represent the new entry.

• Create a validation function (if necessary): If the new entry requires additional validation beyond the type provided by pydantic, create a validation function. The validation function should inspect the value of the new entry and check for any constraints or rules that need to be enforced.

• Add the new entry to the config file: Open the configuration file (usually config.json). Add a new property to the configuration object for the new entry. Set the value of the new property to the desired initial value.

• Update the convert_type_from_string function (if necessary): If the new entry type requires a custom conversion from a string representation, add the conversion function to the utils file. The function should take a string representation of the new entry type and return the corresponding data type.

• Update the bot code (if necessary): If the new entry is being used by the bot code, update the relevant parts of the code to handle the new entry type and its values.

• Build the docker image

• Start the docker container

You can now use the bot with the new entry, have fun🥳
