Installation

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

Plugin Configuration

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

For using PAT (Personal Access Token)

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  'update-static-content': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      githubAuthType: 'token',
      githubToken: env('GITHUB_TOKEN'), // accessing personal github token from env file
      owner: 'everythinginjs', // owner of the repo
      repo: 'vahoora', // name of the repo
      workflowId: '40807041', // workflowId OR filename
      branch: 'main', // branch name
    },
  },
});

For using Github App authentication through Installation ID and Private Key,

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  'update-static-content': {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      githubAuthType: 'app',
      githubAppId: env("GITHUB_APP_ID"),
      githubPrivateKey: Buffer.from(env("GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64"), "base64").toString("utf8"),
      githubInstallationId: env("GITHUB_INSTALLATION_ID"),
      owner: 'everythinginjs', // owner of the repo
      repo: 'vahoora', // name of the repo
      workflowId: 'deploy.yaml', // workflowId OR filename
      branch: 'main', // branch name
    },
  },
});

NOTE #1: 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.

NOTE #2: In case you're using authentication through Github App, the GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64 should be base64 encoded to avoid issues with newlines and other characters. To base64 encode the private key, you can use the following command cat private-key.pem | base64

NOTE #3: The minimum required permissions for the Github App are Contents: Read and Workflows: Read & Write.

2. 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

Roadmap

• Cancel workflow manually.
• Better documentation.

Special Thanks
