GitHub Action: Order Project Column by Reactions

Order a project's column by reactions.

Usage

Since there's no GitHub triggers for Reactables, you'll have to use this action with a cron trigger.

name: Order our backlog

on:
    schedule:
        # Every Monday at midnight
        - cron: '0 * * * 1'

jobs:
    order-backlog:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            - uses: Doist/order-project-column-by-reactions-action@v1
                with:
                token: ${{ secrets.REPO_TOKEN }}
                organization: MyCoolOrg
                project_id: 31337
                column_name: Backlog
                considered_user_logins: |-
                    product_owner
                    tech_lead
                considered_reactions: thumbs_up

considered_user_logins and considered_reactions are optional. Check action.yml for more details.

token has to be a token with repo:write access (so it can change org projects).

Contributing

PRs accepted. Make sure you install pre-commit on your working copy.

Testing

Nothing implemented. 😞 You'll have to manually check your changes.

There's two ways to do this:

• When changing a workflow, or to test the script running on GitHub Actions, add a push trigger temporarily and check things behave as expected.

• Locally, you can export the arguments as env variables and run the script directly:

  export INPUT_TOKEN=MY-COOL-TOKEN
  export INPUT_ORGANIZATION=MyCoolOrg
  export INPUT_PROJECT_ID=31337
  export INPUT_COLUMN_NAME=Backlog
  export INPUT_CONSIDERED_USER_LOGINS="$(echo "product_owner tech_lead" | xargs -n 1)"
  export INPUT_CONSIDERED_REACTIONS="$(echo "thumbs_up" | xargs -n 1)"
  
  node index.js

Releasing

Follow the normal GitHub Actions release procedure.
