I published a demo project that can help you understand deployment environments on Now.sh and how to automatically push to those environments using Github Actions.
Here's the link to the project: https://github.com/msurguy/nuxt-express-now
More about the repository:
The project has minimal structure to it, but it achieves the goals of demonstrating automatic deployments. It:
- Uses latest stable version of Nuxt and Express (currently Nuxt 2.9.2)
- Uses API endpoint from the ENV file (or from Now.json files)
- Uses Github actions to deploy when a tag with a specific pattern is pushed
- Uses ES6 in Node server code
- Uses basic auth that is conditionally enabled / disabled via env variable
- Automatically trims old deployments (that are not aliased) once a week
Assumptions
- The default branch is staging. All PRs in the project are made against that branch
- When testing is done on staging and approved, PR is opened against master
- When this project is automatically deployed via Now + Github integration (not through Github Action), it uses now.json as the config.
Here's the diagram of what's happening when you push certain tags to the Github repository:
Hope you enjoy and share this project!
