HandleBars get first item from array

[deiv061]

Hello,

Everything works as well with the release definition and wiki page updater. I have thoughts in my mind I will give you more in my example.

For my wiki page, I have shown the Last PR, Commit Message, and Description
But in my description, I have a title ID from the Jira issue.
, For example, #4777 Description Message
How can I get from this, the description is only the #4777 and visualized into a new cell in Wiki.
Let the description column be the whole message, but in the new cell, I want to build the URL for Jira Issues and put the object from the description message.

Description Message	Jira Link
#4777 Description Message	4777

Here is my template:

{{#forEach pullRequests}} {{/forEach}}

PullRequst ID	Commit Message	Description
[{{this.pullRequestId}}]({{replace (replace this.url "_apis/git/repositories" "_git") "pullRequests" "pullRequest"}})	{{this.title}}	{{this.description}}

You would need to write a custom handlebars extension to take the description string and split it up to build the JIRA URL

See the wiki for details, and the aresome sample here

Thank you, seems to work now but how can I foreach function's result?
<
const handlebars = require("handlebars");
module.exports = {
filter_title_by_items(str) {
const regex = /(#?(MS-?(?[\d]{3,})))/gm;
var jiraurl = "https://jira.domain.com/browse/MS-"
var urls = [];
var m;
while ((m = regex.exec(str)) !== null) {
if (m.index === regex.lastIndex) {
regex.lastIndex++;
}
urls.push(jiraurl + m[m.length -1])
}
return urls;
},
}

<

{{#forEach (filter_title_by_items this.title)}} {{this}} {{/forEach}} > Error: Error Processing handlebars [TypeError: Cannot create property 'index' on string ] tried with {{this}}, {{this.urls}} Because the title can have two Jira tasks numbers in associated PR

You can write an extension that manages the for loop, have a look at this sample for the basic format

I am no Handlebars expert, so best to google for resources on writing Handlebars extensions

Everything works, as well if someone needs it. I will post it here a function with regex and generate a link to Jira issues

const handlebars = require("handlebars");
module.exports = {
      filter_title_by_items(title,desc) {
      let result = title.concat(desc);
      const regex = /(#?(MS-?(?<issue2>[\d]{3,})))/gm;
      var jiraurl = "https://jira-domain,com/browse/MS-"
      var urls = [];
      var regexresult;
      while ((regexresult = regex.exec(result)) !== null) {
      if (regexresult.index === regex.lastIndex) {
        regex.lastIndex++;
      }
        urls.push(`[MS-${regexresult[regexresult.length - 1]}](${jiraurl + regexresult[regexresult.length - 1]})`)
       }
       urls = urls.filter((x, i, a) => a.indexOf(x) == i)
       return urls;
  }
}

Good news, glad it works for you

Feel free to submit a PR with the sample into the /SampleTemplates/XplatGenerateReleaseNotes%20(Node%20based)/Version%203 samples folder.

If you do can you follow the same format as the other *.js samples i.e a header containing usage, and update the readme.md in he folder as it is the index
