A script to generate a table of contents for a GitHub discussion.
The script finds all comments that begin with a level 3 heading (### My heading) and adds a table of contents with links to those headings to the top of the discussion.
You need a GitHub personal access token with the public_repo scope for public repositories or the repo scope for private repositories.
GITHUB_TOKEN="<personal access token>" npx github-discussion-toc <discussion-url>
import addTocToGitHubDiscussion from "github-discussion-toc";
import { Octokit } from "octokit";
const myOctokit = new Octokit({
auth: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
});
const myOwner = "octocat";
const myRepo = "hello-world";
const myDiscussionNumber = 123;
await addTocToGitHubDiscussion(myOctokit, myOwner, myRepo, myDiscussionNumber);
