Configuration Guide

This guide explains how to configure TeamScape's runtime behavior through the config.json file. The file is created automatically in the root directory on first launch and contains settings like GUI window size, log file location, and the path to the data file.

📂 Location of the Config File

The config.json file is created in the same folder where the app is launched.

For end users: The file will appear in the same folder as the .jar file.
For developers: When running with Gradle, it will be generated in the root project directory.

⚙️ Configuration Fields

The following fields can be modified in config.json:

Field	Type	Description
`appTitle`	String	The title of the application window
`logLevel`	String	Logging verbosity (`INFO`, `WARNING`, `SEVERE`, etc.)
`userPrefsFilePath`	String	Path to the user preferences file (GUI layout, window size, etc.)
`addressBookFilePath`	String	Path to the main data file (e.g., `data/addressbook.json`)

📝 Editing the Configuration

You can manually edit the config.json file before launching the app. Make sure you use proper JSON syntax.

Example:

{
  "appTitle": "TeamScape",
  "logLevel": "INFO",
  "userPrefsFilePath": "preferences/userprefs.json",
  "addressBookFilePath": "data/addressbook.json"
}
