⚙️ Configuration

Configuration in this application is handled through environment variables and settings files:

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root (copy from .env.example):

# .env file FLASK_ENV=development FLASK_DEBUG=True SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here PORT=5000 HOST=0.0.0.0

Note: No external API keys required! The sentiment analysis bot uses open-source NLP libraries (NLTK, TextBlob, spaCy, VADER). Never commit your .env file to version control.

Python Configuration (config.py)

The config.py file contains configuration settings:

# config.py import os from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() class Config: FLASK_ENV = os.getenv('FLASK_ENV', 'development') SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', 'sentiment-bot-secret-key') PORT = int(os.getenv('PORT', 5000)) HOST = os.getenv('HOST', '0.0.0.0') # Sentiment Analysis Settings SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD_POSITIVE = 0.05 SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD_NEGATIVE = -0.05 USE_ENSEMBLE_APPROACH = True # Emotion Detection EMOTION_DETECTION_ENABLED = True SUPPORTED_EMOTIONS = ['joy', 'anger', 'sadness', 'fear', 'surprise'] # spaCy Model SPACY_MODEL = 'en_core_web_sm'

Frontend Configuration

Edit script.js to configure API endpoint:

// sentiment.js const API_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:5000'; const SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD_POSITIVE = 0.05; const SENTIMENT_THRESHOLD_NEGATIVE = -0.05; const SUPPORTED_EMOTIONS = ['joy', 'anger', 'sadness', 'fear', 'surprise']; const EMOTION_DETECTION_ENABLED = true; const USE_ENSEMBLE_APPROACH = true;

Browser LocalStorage Settings

User settings are automatically saved to browser's local storage:

// Settings are saved automatically localStorage.setItem('sentimentBotSettings', JSON.stringify({ emotionDetectionEnabled: true, ensembleApproach: true, showVaderScores: true, showTextblobScores: true, autoGenerateReports: false })); // Load settings const settings = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('sentimentBotSettings'));

Runtime Configuration

Configure settings through the web interface:

  • Emotion Detection: Enable/disable emotion detection (joy, anger, sadness, fear, surprise)
  • Ensemble Approach: Enable/disable combining VADER and TextBlob for accuracy
  • VADER Scores: Show/hide VADER sentiment scores (compound, positive, negative, neutral)
  • TextBlob Scores: Show/hide TextBlob scores (polarity, subjectivity)
  • Report Generation: Enable/disable automatic report generation
