@retrogen/generate v0.0.2

@retrogen/generate

A tool that generates Markdown retros for GitHub users and organizaations. This is the all-in-one solution for retrogen that incorporates both the @retrogen/core and @retrogen/templates modules.

Prerequisites

To run this project, it's assumed that you have a GitHub Personal Access Token configured in your environment under the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. You can either do this manually, automatically with your own tooling, or by adding an appropriately configured .env file to your project.

Usage

// source: ./examples/default.js

const generate = require('@retrogen/generate')

async function markdown () {
  // the date range we want to get information for
  const dates = {
    start: '2022-03-27',
    end: '2022-04-02'
  }

  // this will generate markdown for the Node.js GitHub organization that includes data for Issues, PRs, and Discussions from 2022-03-27 to 2022-04-02
  await generate('nodejs', dates, { log: true })
}

markdown()
