Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

strapi-plugin-github-action-dispatch

This plugin provides a web ui to trigger a Github workflow run from strapi's admin panel as well as a list of the latest run status and results.

Installation

  • Install the plugin with yarn add strapi-plugin-github-action-dispatch

Configuration

The plugin will run without options by default.

When doing so, the generated tarball name will be your package.json name field, and encryption will be disabled.

In your config/plugins.js you can add:

{
  "strapi-plugin-github-action-dispatch": {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      token: env("GITHUB_TOKEN"),
      repository: 'my-username-or-org/my-repo-name',
      workflow: "my-workflow.yml",
      ref: "main" // optional, defaults to main
    }
  }
}
  • The token should be a GitHub PAT with permissions to list workflows and run them (Actions: RW)
  • the repository is your typical ${owner}/${repo} in one string
  • the workflow is either the file name or the workflow id (as per Github API spec)

ACL

You can go an enable/disable this plugin's actions in the roles section of the admin panel. This should enable/disable endpoints and stop displaying the section according to the permissions you provided.

GitHub Workflow

A boilerplate file for your workflow should be this one:

name: 🚀
run-name: 🚀 (by ${{ inputs.email }})

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      email:
        default: '[email protected]' # used to mark ownership of the run from strapi

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: echo "hello world"

As you can see in the screenshot at the top of this README, there's an Initiator column which logs which user triggered the workflow run. In order to avoid creating a GitHub account for every Strapi user and ask them to create a PAT, there's an inputs.email field provided in the workflow run to store the user's identity.

Sadly, due to a limitation in GitHub's APi, we cannot fetch a run's inputs so we have no choice but to leverage run-name to insert the inputs.email and later parse it in the APi response.
