Staff Lookup

[tm21cy]

Concise explanation of requested feature. One of the core reasons this bot exists is the usage of staff-related data - this means we need to immediately support functionality to search for staff. It is preferable if users are able to search by optional first and last names, and if multiple results return in such a case, implement a drop-down list that users can select from to load a specific profile (@tm21cy has code in Bit that may be able to assist with this).

There should also be support via subcommands for searching by position, by department, by team, and by supervisor of a department. this will be added at a later date.

What problem does this feature solve? Necessary implementation. This is a necessary function for the bot to continue to production.

Describe the necessary implementation summary, and specific implementations under each sub-heading. Ideally, the bot has two scenarios of searching for a user: Searching via any subcommand for a single user result

• This is simple - the staff file should be rendered into an embed, with a button to create a text version (.txt) and attach it if necessary.
• Consider pagination - again, @tm21cy was working on a library that could help with this.

Searching via any subcommand for a multi-user result

• This is less simple - each user result will need to be parsed into a components list to attach via a select menu. Once an option is selected, there should be a repeat query (or, ideally, a rendering based on storage of an object - remember that indirect staff file queries return an ARRAY of files) and the appropriate user should be rendered.

Front-End (Bot) [] denotes optional, ![] denotes required. /search user [firstName] [lastName] /search position ![position] [dept] [team] - for search narrowing. /search department [team] [position] /search team [department] /search supervisors [department] [team] - ideally only one of these should be selected

See above for rendering instructions.

Back-End (DB)

• Create query routes for position by filter, department by filter, team by filter, supervisors by filter
• Potentially create a friendlier response system.

Additional context None. Request below.
