Usage

Create a new Actions workflow in your GitHub repository (e.g. devcycle-insights.yml) in the .github/workflows directory. In your new file, paste the following code:

on: pull_request

jobs:
  dvc-feature-flag-insights:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Generate DevCycle PR Insights
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: DevCycleHQ/[email protected]
        with:
          # Token generated by GitHub
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          # Your DevCycle project key
          project-key: your-project-key
          # Your organization's DevCycle API client ID & secret
          client-id: ${{ secrets.DVC_CLIENT_ID }}
          client-secret: ${{ secrets.DVC_CLIENT_SECRET }}

We recommend including your DevCycle API credentials and project token as inputs. If included, the PR comment will be enriched with Feature Flag data from DevCycle.

When referencing your API client ID and secret, we recommend using GitHub Secrets to store your credentials securely.

Configuration

The patterns used to identify references to variables in your code are fully customizable. This action uses the DevCycle CLI under the hood, for details on how to configure the pattern matcher see the CLI configuration.
