Issue Deadline Manager

This is a GitHub Action to label an issue by its deadline specified with a slash command and notify when there is updates on labels. It is recommended to use in a repository for a daily life TODO list, but it might useful for software development.

Set up

Use in a existing repository

Create .github/workflows/todo.yml(any file name goes well, of course) and copy and paste following.

name: Manage TODO

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0/10 * * * *'
  issues:
    types: [opened, edited]

jobs:
  update-todo:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - uses: ikanago/issue-deadline-manager@v1

Then commit it and push to master.

Create from template

You can create a new repository with the setting completed. Go to issue-todo-template and create a new repository by using it as a template.

How to use

After setting up, create an issue as a TODO. And write its deadline with a slash command like this:

/deadline 2021/12/31

After a while, github-actions bot adds an label according to the deadline and comments.

The command format is /deadline ${DATE} ${TIME}. DATE format is yyyy-MM-dd or MM-dd. TIME is optional. The format is HH:mm.

Update deadline from comment

Parse issue comment

An issue includes command to specify deadline. So parse the issue and retrieve deadline.
The deadline date in the latest comment(including issue body) is adopted.

The date format is MM-dd or yyyy-MM-dd and the time format is H-m.
The command format is /deadline ${DATE} ${TIME}.

Create label through GitHub API

The only thing I have to do is just call GitHub API to set appropriate label.

Test

hoge
/deadline 2021/11/21

Lint workflow files

Adjust timezone

Timezone of deadline is configured by a file in a repository which uses this action.
The timezone will be different from the one of CI runs on.
So the timezone must be adjust to UTC to compare with the current time at CI machine.

Default deadline time

If a deadline is specified without time, the task expires at 0:00 in the deadline date.
But this should be 23:59.

Rewrite in Rust

Publish Docker image

Build and publish Docker image to ghcr.io.

Specify any timezone

Now deadline user specified is handled as Asia/Tokyo timezone.

Run hadolint

Notify deadline
