Using a single comment per PR

[WyriHaximus]

Using this action for my GitHub Workflows and Helm Chart to make sure the generated README's are regenerated when PR's are created. Because it doesn't do this it gets rather spammy when iterating over a PR: WyriHaximusNet/helm-charts#125

Would you be interested in a PR adding this functionality?

Hi @WyriHaximus,

We can definitely look into that! (unless you are interested in contributing? 😄)

Good with both, would have to research how to implement this. Did this in two of my own actions, but neither uses JS

If you already have an example I can look at that would be great. I can try to put something together tomorrow.

Pure PHP implementation: https://github.com/WyriHaximus/github-action-composer.lock-diff/blob/main/generate-comments/comment.php

I've been meaning to replace with https://github.com/marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment, which I'm using in my workflows. This is probably the code you're looking for: https://github.com/marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment/blob/main/src/comment.ts#L26-L158

Thanks for the references! I will release the changes (i.e. the new attribute sticky_comment: true) as v2.1.0 soon.

Edit: done!

[WyriHaximus]

Awesome, and it uses the title to distinguish between multiple comments. Thanks ❤️ !

Thanks again, just set it up on WyriHaximus/github-workflows#53 and WyriHaximusNet/helm-charts#127 👍
