A bot that downloads all files from all your assigned Moodle courses, so you don't manually have to do it yourself 🥱

Works on Windows, Mac and Linux Desktop.

As of now, this is created and tested only for EASV - Erhvervsakademi Sydvest. Feel free to test it out for any other universities that use Moodle, and contribute to the repo :)

You must have installed Node.js to run the bot. The installation in the link includes npm (node package manager), which is also required.

Below are instructions to set up the moodle-lazy-dl on your computer.

1. Clone the repository to a directory on your pc via command prompt:

git clone https://github.com/jakobhoeg/moodle-lazy-dl

2. Open the folder:

cd moodle-lazy-dl

3. Install dependencies:

npm install

4. Rename the .example.env to .env:

mv .example.env .env

5. Replace the variables in the .env file with your university's Moodle web url and your username & password:

MOODLE_WEB_URL="https://moodle.easv.dk"
MOODLE_USERNAME="your_username"
MOODLE_PASSWORD="your_password"

7. This step is not required, but if you want to download ALL your courses (from ALL semesters) and not only the ones from your current semester, you have to change a variable in the app.js file:

// Change the variable below to "Alle":
const listItemText = "I gang";

8. Run the program:

node .

Or:

node app.js

Occasionally, playwright dependency doesn't install correctly. If that happens, you might have to install it manually with npx playwright install and then you should be able to run node app.js.

Default folder path for downloaded files are C:\Users\<username>\moodle
