Issue Action

Github action for automatically adding labels and/or setting assignees when an Issue or PR is opened or edited based on user-defined Area

What it does

This action will automatically determine a single area out of many to which an issue belongs based on a list of keywords. It will then automatically add labels and set assignees to that issue depending on which area the issue lies in

Scoring

Each area is given a score which is added to every time a keyword for that particular area is in the issue. The area with the highest score is determined to be the winning area

The value of words in the title of the issue starts with 1 for the first word, and each word decreases in value logarithmically The value of words in the body of the issue are worth a constant value which can be set by the user

Similarity

Keywords don't have to be an exact match for the word to count. You can allow for slight amount of user error by tuning the similarity input. A value of 0 means that keywords have to be an exact match

Inputs

parameters

Parameters should take the form

[
  {
    "area": "area",
    "keywords": ["keywords"],
    "labels": ["labels"],
    "assignees": ["assignees"]
  }
]

excluded expressions

You can exclude certain expressions from being potentially counted as keywords. This is useful if you have issue templates which may contain keywords. The input should be an array with expressions to exclude separated by bars. Ex. [ Expression 1 | Expression 2 ]

similarity

A value of 0 means keywords have to match exactly. The algorithm used to determine the similarity of two strings is Levenshtein Distance

The default value is .125

body-value

A set constant for how much each keyword detected in the body of the issue is worth

The default value is .025
