đđ Thanks for opening this PR/Issue đ¤
Please wait while the maintainer(s) review it
Meanwhile have a look at this đ :
> **${{ steps.memer.outputs.title }}**
<sub>âšī¸ <a href="${{ steps.memer.outputs.source }}">Source</a> [âĻWhy ?
You can say thanks to contributors by greeting them with some programmer humour & btw almost everyone likes memes so having some fun while contributing to OpenSource would be great :)
Demo
Here is a sample of memer-action in action
How
The action was built using python, here is how the magic happens
import feedparser
import random
import os
import sys
HOST_URL = "https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor"
def getMeme(filter_posts="hot"):
memelist = []
memedict = {}
f = feedparser.parse(f"{HOST_URL}/{filter_posts}.rss")
for entry in f.entries:
x = entry['content'][0]['value']
img = x[x.find("https://i.redd.it"): x.find("link") - 3]
if img != "":
memedict["title"] = entry["title"]
memedict["src"] = str(entry["link"])
memedict["meme"] = img
memelist.append(memedict)
random.shuffle(memelist)
return memelist[0]
def main():
filter_by = os.environ["INPUT_FILTER"]
if filter_by not in ["hot", "top", "new", "rising"]:
sys.exit(0)
meme = getMeme(filter_by)
print(f"::set-output name=meme::{meme['meme']}")
print(f"::set-output name=title::{meme['title']}")
print(f"::set-output name=source::{meme['src']}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
The above script runs inside a docker container. Below are some of the resources that (I used) you can use to build you own actions using Python
