[Feature Request] List Projects a Pull Request belongs to

[jasongaare]

What’s missing?

When getting information for a pull request, I cannot seem to determine what Projects the PR belongs to. I can find things like milestone but not projects.

Why?

I want to write an Action to require all PRs belong to a GitHub Project.

Alternatives you tried

My current workaround is as follows:

• get a list of all "open" projects for the repository
• for each open project, get a list of all columns
• for each column, get a list of all cards
• compare EACH card (there are MANY) and look at the card's content_url and compare it to a PR's issue link.

This seems very overkill! Is there another way?

We are using Projects (Classic) by the way... so wondering if that API is on its way out regardless?

This is out of scope for @octokit/rest as there is no GitHub REST API for that specific use case that I'm aware of.

But I think you can probably achieve it with a GraphQL Query

const query = `query { 
  pullRequest:resource(url:$pull_request_url) {
    ... on PullRequest {
      projectCards {
        nodes {
          project {
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}`
const result = octokit.graphql(query, { pull_request_url: "https://github.com/octokit/core.js/pull/522" })
const projectNames = result.pullRequest.projectCards.nodes.map(card => card.project.name)

Once you figure out the code, you could create an Octokit plugin to make it easier to share it with others:
