🚊 Monorepo PR Repo Labeler - GitHub Action

A GitHub Action that labels pull requests with the modules(s) that are impacted in a monorepo.

How It Works

This GitHub Action runs when an pull_request event webhook is fired in your GitHub repo. The action checks if any of the files in the pull request are in a module (ex. /module1/..., /module2/..., from the root of the monorepo). If one or more modules are found, the pull request is labeled with a label for each module repo.

Details

• Directories that beginning with a dot (ex. /.directory/) are ignored.
• The action supports configuring a list of one or more base directories if modules are within base directories (ex. /base_directory1/module1/, /base_directory1/module2/, /base_directory2/module3/) such as within Lerna projects
• The action supports configuring label prefix and label suffix for labeling.
• The action supports use on GHES instances!

Note: If you're migrating from version 2.x to 3.x, the automatic prefix 📁 Repo: <repo> is now optional. If you want to keep this prefix or add a different prefix, see "Adding a custom prefix or suffix to labels" below.

Examples

Installation

To setup this action:

1. Create a .github/worksflows/main.yml in your GitHub repo (more info).
2. Add the following code to the main.yml file and commit it to the repo's master branch.

name: Monorepo PR Repo Labeler

on: pull_request

jobs:
  labelPR:
    name: Label PR With Repo(s)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Label PRs
        uses: tinkurlab/monorepo-pr-labeler-action
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          BASE_DIRS: 'directory1|directory2' # optional
        with:
          prefix: 'sample_prefix' # optional
          suffix: 'sample_suffix' # optional
          separator: ' ' # optional

Options

• Optionally add a BASE_DIRS variable under env if modules are located within one or more base directory(ies). You can configure one (ex. base_directory1) or more directories (ex. base_directory1|bae_directory2|...). If BASE_DIRS isn't specified, the action will assume the base directories in the repo are your modules (ex. base_directory1 is a module).
• Add prefix or suffix under with if you wish to add prefix or suffix the repo name in the label respectively.
• Add separator under with if you wish to add a separator between the prefix, label, and suffix. For example, using a single space character ' ' will add a space between them. By default, no separator is added.

Example: Repos in sub directories

The following configuration will look for repos within the folderA and folderB directories:

name: Monorepo PR Repo Labeler

on: pull_request

jobs:
  labelPR:
    name: Label PR With Repo(s)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Label PRs
        uses: TinkurLab/monorepo-pr-labeler-action
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          BASE_DIRS: 'folderA|folderB' # optional

Example: Adding a custom prefix or suffix to labels

The following configuration will prefix each label with 🗂 and add a space after the prefix - ex.🗂 Repo A, 🗂 Repo B, etc:

name: Monorepo PR Repo Labeler

on: pull_request

jobs:
  labelPR:
    name: Label PR With Repo(s)
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Label PRs
        uses: tinkurlab/monorepo-pr-labeler-action@master
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          prefix: '🗂' # optional
          separator: ' ' # optional

Upgrading

You can pin the action version (ex. uses: tinkurlab/monorepo-pr-labeler-action@4.x.x) to avoid issues due to breaking changes in major version updates.

Upgrading to v4.x.x or >

Version 4.x.x changes the previous functionlity of v3.x.x which automatically added a space between the package name a prefix (if configured) or a suffix (if configured) when labeling pull requests. Starting with version 4.0.0, if a prefix or suffix is configured, an optional seperator can be configured via the separator: ' ' property. This property can be used to add a space or other seperator. If no separator property is configured, no space or other seperator will be included in the label. It is recommended that you update your action configuration before upgrading to v4.x.x.
