Weekend and Office Hour saver for Github Actions

This is a app that you can add to your github actions job to block auto deployment during the weekends and outside office hours

You should still be able to allow deployment via workflow_dispatch or workflow_call

Initial Setup

Add the following step in your github actions:

outputs:
  reason: ${{ steps.should-deploy.outputs.reason }}
  should_deploy: ${{ steps.should-deploy.outputs.shouldDeploy }}
steps:
  - use: assweet/gha-ts-no-deploy-time
    id: should-deploy
    with:
      no_deployment_days: Friday,Saturday,Sunday
      tz: "+8"
      country: SG
      state: SG
      region: SG
      office_hours_start: 9
      office_hours_end: 22

We obtain the list of holidays using the npm package date-holidays

You will need to check the arrangement for the state and region specified in the holidays package by running:

const h = new Holidays()
h.getCountries()

h.getStates('US')

h.getRegions('US', 'ca')

Testing and Debugging

npm install

INPUT_NO_DEPLOYMENT_DAYS=Friday,Saturday,Sunday INPUT_TZ=Asia/Singapore INPUT_COUNTRY=SG INPUT_STATE=SG INPUT_REGION=SG  INPUT_OFFICE_HOURS_START=9 INPUT_OFFICE_HOURS_END=22 npx ts-node src/index.ts
