Primary LanguageTypeScriptApache License 2.0Apache-2.0

Welcome!

This repository hosts the source code of an automation app to handle the daily activities of your GitHub Repository.

Project Resources

The automation app utilizes the Probot framework and Octokit library to perform user-defined operations on top of the resources within GitHub. See configs yaml for more information.

Usages

Service

A Service is an instance of the app that manages and manipulates specific Resource while performing defined Operation.

  • Resource: Objects or entities the service will manage or modify, such as GitHub organizations, project, repositories, issues, etc.
  • Operation: A list of Tasks triggered by events with the resources.
  • Task: Executed sequentially within an Operation to perform action, such as create comments, update labels, add issue to project, etc.
  • Call: The callstack that contains the implementation of the aformentioned task action.

Create a Service

To create a service, you need two configuration files:

  • Resource configuration file: Defines the resources that the service will manage or modify. Sample Resource Config.
  • Operation configuration file: Defines the operations (tasks) that the service will execute with the resources. Sample Operation Config.

Start the Service

Before starting the service, create a .env file to connect it to your GitHub App by copying the .env.example file from this repository to .env.

Once you have created the .env file, resource / operation configuration files, follow these steps to start the service:

  1. Set the RESOURCE_CONFIG environment variable to the path of the resource configuration YAML file.
  2. Set the OPERATION_CONFIG environment variable to the path of the operation configuration YAML file.
  3. Update the INSTALLATION_ID variable in .env file. (How to find installation id of your GitHub App)
  4. Update your GitHub App settings on the GitHub website by defining the app's permissions and specifying the events to monitor.
  5. Run the service using the following command.
  6. (First Time Only) If you have created a new .env file, you will be directed to http://localhost:3000 as seen in the console message. Open this URL in your browser and follow the instructions to set up the necessary information.
RESOURCE_CONFIG=configs/resources/sample-resource.yml \
OPERATION_CONFIG=configs/operations/sample-operation.yml \
npm run dev

Note: You should run npm run start instead in production to run prettier / eslint / jest before starting the service.

When you run the above command, the following takes place:

  1. The app starts a Service instance based on the specified configurations.
  2. Retrieves the GitHub Context (or any other defined context) for all the resources listed in the resource config file.
  3. Registers and listens for events, executes the Tasks defined in the operation config. These tasks will be executed sequentially when the corresponding events occur.

List of Environment Variables (You can use them directly in the startup command, export them, or add them to the .env file):

Name Type Default Description Example
RESOURCE_CONFIG String '' Path to resource config yaml file. 'configs/resources/sample-resource.yml'
OPERATION_CONFIG String '' Path to operation config yaml file. 'configs/operations/sample-operation.yml'
INSTALLATION_ID String '' Installation Id of your GitHub App, must install the App to repositories before retrieving the id. '1234567890'
ADDITIONAL_RESOURCE_CONTEXT Boolean false Setting true will let each resource defined in RESOURCE_CONFIG to call GitHub Rest API and GraphQL for more detailed context (ex: node_id). Increase startup time. true / false
SERVICE_NAME String 'default' Set Service Name 'My Service'

Start the Service with Docker

For detailed instructions on starting the service with Docker, refer to the project's Docker Setup.
