Install dependencies according to PR description
Create the following file in your root package repository install-deps-from-pr.config.js
(or install-deps-from-pr.config.mjs
if your package is not a module), with the following default export:
const config = {
currentRepo: 'owner/repo-name', // the current repository name
// A regex or an array of regex that matches a block in your github description
prDescriptionRegex: [
/### Dependencies([\s\S]*?)\n#/,
/### Dependencies([\s\S]*?)$/,
],
// an array of valid repositories that will be searched for this PR
repos: ['owner/cart', 'owner/tools'],
};
export default config;
You can use a typescript configuration file named install-deps-from-pr.config.ts
import { Config } from '@mapado/install-deps-from-pr';
const config: Config = {
// your configuration
};
export default config;
This script needs two environment variables:
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
BRANCH_NAME
Then execute the following script:
npx -y @mapado/install-deps-from-pr
It will create a install-deps-from-pr
directory and install thoses dependencies in it.
Then it will launch the following commands:
yarn install
yarn build
And copy the folder into the node_modules
directory
You may encounter an issue with an infinite build with npx
never finishing.
If you have this issue, you might want to install the package in your dev dependencies:
# install one time
yarn add --dev @mapado/install-deps-from-pr
# execute
yarn install-deps-from-pr
