Installation

  yarn add strapi-plugin-update-static-content
  OR
  npm i strapi-plugin-update-static-content

Plugin Configuration

1. Create a JWT BASE64 secret key

   For example with : openssl rand -base64 32

2. Add the key in the .env

3. Add plugin configs inside strapiProject/config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  'update-static-content': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      JWT_SECRET: env('JWT_SECRET'),
    },
  },
});

NOTE: add roles property (roles: ['strapi-super-admin', 'strapi-editor', 'strapi-author']) if you are using the plugin lesser than v1.0.7 since above that version it is handled by Strapi Permissions.

1. Create a file in the root of your project .github/workflows/deploy.yml like below. In this example we are using fing cloud

name: Fing Deployment # a name for your workflow

on: # trigger on push event and main branch to the repo
  push:
    branches: [main]
  workflow_dispatch: # must be included in your .yml file for manually triggering event
defaults: # in case of monorepo project you can use `defauls` and choose the subfolder
  run:
    working-directory: ./gatsbyJS
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: install fing-cli and deploy
        env: # set the cloud provider token to the secrets on github and use it on run
          TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FING_TOKEN }}
        run: | # write your shell scripts for deploying or building based on your host provider
          npm install -g @fingcloud/cli
          fing --access-token "${TOKEN}" up --app vahoora-gatsby --dispatch

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token on Github : https://github.com/settings/tokens

   See more on the Github Documentation

2. Then, you can add the workflow in the plugin settings from the admin panel, save and you'll be able to trigger your workflows from strapi.

Usage

1. Add the workflow in the plugin's settings admin/settings/update-static-content
2. Trigger a build in the plugin page

Roadmap

• Cancel workflow manually.
• Better documentation.

Special Thanks
