Local Development with Bandaid

Some features of BlueSheet require access to Bandaid API (e.g. the Faculty Leaves Planning Report page).

To connect to Bandaid for local development:

1. Connect to UMN VPN.
2. Login to https://cla-bandaid-prd-web.oit.umn.edu/admin
3. In Bandaid, add a new API Token for your user: Users > username > Edit > Add Token.
4. Add the token in .env as BANDAID_KEY=<your token>
5. Get your VPN ip address from https://z.umn.edu/ip
6. Add your ip address to Bandaid's Allow List. (You'll need to do this each time your ip address changes. Be sure to remove the old ip address from the list.)
