Support: Creating github action badges

[muchirijane]

When a beginner starts to contribute they are given a specific badge on their first successful merge. As they continue contributing, they get different badges to encourage them to contribute more🔰 and they also get personalized emails 💌 with their GitHub profile pic.

Love this idea so much 👍

Could we have a counter that increments each time someone performs an action, then later on we can decide on what badges are for each amount: For example

• 1: Started badge
• 10: On a role badge
• ...

This is super awesomeee, great idea @muchirijane ! @eddiejaoude do you think this Github Action could write some of this data on the database of EddieBot and EddieBotUI? If we have something like this:

{
      username: "Eddie",
      badges: [{
         name: "first-contribution",
         emoji: "🔰", // associated emoji to the badge perhaps??
         description: "This badge is achieved by making a PR and getting a successful merge"
      }]
}

then we can display this info on the UI, and show off cool badge UIs 😄.

Yes we could do that in a custom Action with javascript quite easily 👍

I think we save the statistics against the user, then in another collection or config file, map what it refers to, so we can update that more easily.

For example

Database

{
   username: "eddiejaoude"
   // ...
   statistics: {
      issue: {
          created: 10,
          comments: 15
      },
      pullRequest: {
          created: 10,
          comments: 15
       }
   }
}

Config

{
   badges: {
      pullrequest: {
          1:  {
                name: "first-contribution",
                emoji: "🔰", // associated emoji to the badge perhaps??
                description: "This badge is achieved by making a PR and getting a successful merge"
      } ,
      issues: {
          1:  {
                name: "first-contribution",
                emoji: "🔰", // associated emoji to the badge perhaps??
                description: "This badge is achieved by making an issue"
      } 
   }
}

What do you all think? (ok they dont quite align, but something like that, structure needs a bit more thinking)

[muchirijane]

That's awesome @eddiejaoude and @BOLT04 . From there, different badges can be created for different levels of successful merges.

Where is this badge being displayed?

[eddiejaoude]

@mikeysan I was thinking we could have a markdown badge available for people to use in their custom GitHub profiles, and also on our web app (I will kick off the EddieBotUI next month)

Something like this...

I have started saving the data with a GitHub Action today 🎉 , data from GitHub in Firestore...

{
   // GitHub User
   author: {avatar_url: "https://avat...},
   id: "624760",
   issue_comment: 8,
   issues: 4,
   push: 3
}

I think this is still a great idea github-actions bot

[eddiejaoude]

Yep I agree 👍 . I will remove the label so the bot doesn't close the issue

Looks like it disobeyed you @eddiejaoude so I have removed the label again. Please revert if that was not your intention.

[eddiejaoude]

Thank you @mikeysan 👍
