Idea: todo expire todo when PR is released

[staabm]

Hmm I would prefer a more api centric approach

[staabm]

issue/pr closed state handling was implemented with #62

as you pointed out the 'released' state is not easily to determine. until github.com provides a proper mean to detect this state I will close this issue for now.

thanks for the feedback though

We could implement a todo-by-ticket github-issues fetcher todo that.

This should work for github issues and PRs - these are very similar on github

Just enhance the rule implemented with #26 with a new fetcher

Since github issue identifiers have a different pattern then jira issue keys, we might need a separate rule

sadly, what I was thinking seems to be not doable easily: the information of the first git tag which includes the PR, which you can view in GitHub interface, is not exposed in the API.

I can't find any easy way to guess this information.
The best which can be done is to expire todo comment if the issue is resolved or the PR is merged, but IMO it's less useful than the logic based on versions

the refined-github browser extensions renders a note in PRs which have been merged and are part of a PR:

you might find some inspiration there

haha I didn't even know this information was added by this addon, I use it since too much time 😅

they look into this url and hack into the html
https://github.com/staabm/phpstan-todo-by/branch_commits/98d37d9dcfbcf1a70bb7a36ecea7c6ca7430c347

it seems there is no API equivalent. This solution is a bit hacky: I think there is no BC policy on this type of html url. That why from time to time the add-on has bugs: when GH changes its urls / or html markdown.
But if you're still okay.... why not ;)
