Slightly Complex Contributors Footer Example

[emmyoop]

I wrote a footer using the 1.4.0 release changes that will pull all contributors, dedup them and list all the PRs they contributed for a release. Author and PR are defined as custom fields in .changie.yml.

As a rule, my team defines contributors as community members so we want to pull internal team members from the list. I don't love that our team is a hardcoded list in here but not sure there's a better way to handle it at the moment.

Loving that this can all live within changie now instead of a separate script for me to maintain.

footerFormat: |
  Contributors:
  {{- $contributorDict := dict }}
  {{- $core_team := list "emmyoop" "miniscruff"  }}
  {{- range $change := .Changes }}
    {{- $author := $change.Custom.Author }}
    {{- if not (has $author $core_team)}}
      {{- $pr := $change.Custom.PR }}
      {{- if hasKey $contributorDict $author }}
        {{- $prList := get $contributorDict $author }}
        {{- $prList = append $prList $pr  }}
        {{- $contributorDict := set $contributorDict $author $prList }}
      {{- else }}
        {{- $prList := list $change.Custom.PR }}
        {{- $contributorDict := set $contributorDict $author $prList }}
      {{- end }}
    {{- end}}
  {{- end }}
  {{- range $k,$v := $contributorDict }}
    - [{{$k}}](https://github.com/{{$k}}) ({{ range $index, $element := $v }}{{if $index}}, {{end}}[#{{$element}}](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/pull/{{$element}}){{end}})
  {{- end }}
