# Find Last Issue ![](https://img.badgesize.io/micalevisk/last-issue-action/gh-actions/bundle/index.js.svg?style=flat&color=purple&compression=brotli) GitHub Action to find and output the number of last updated issue that has given labels and state.

Action inputs

Name	Description	Default
`repository`	The target GitHub owner and name separated by slash. For example: `micalevisk/last-issue-action`.	`github.repository`
`token`	A `repo` scoped Personal Access Token with at least `issues: read` permissions.	`github.token` (generated automatically by GitHub)
* `labels`	Comma or newline-separated list of labels that the issue must have
`state`	Issue state to filter by. Can be one of the following strings: `"open"`: if you want to look up for open issues only `"closed"`: if you want to look up for closed issues only `"all"`: if you want to look up for open or closed ones	`"open"`

Action outputs

Name	Description
`issue-number`	The number of the issue found, otherwise empty.
`has-found`	Response status. Will be `true` if some issue was found, otherwise `false`.
`is-closed`	Will be `true` if the issue found is closed, otherwise `false`. Then you can use `issue-number` to open it again with another GitHub Action.

Note that none of the above will be defined if any error occurs (eg: fetching a repository that doesn't exists).

If has-found is true, then issue-number and is-closed will be defined as well.

Example usage

You can use this action along with create-issue-from-file action, like:

# ...

- name: Find the last open report issue
  id: last-issue
  uses: micalevisk/last-issue-action@v2
  with:
    state: open
    # Find the last updated open issue that has these labels:
    labels: |
      report
      automated issue

- name: Update last updated report issue
  if: ${{ steps.last-issue.outputs.has-found == 'true' }}
  uses: peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v4
  with:
    title: Foo
    content-filepath: README.md
    # Update an existing issue if one was found (issue-number),
    # otherwise an empty value creates a new issue:
    issue-number: ${{ steps.last-issue.outputs.issue-number }}
    # Add a label(s) that `last-issue` can use to find this issue,
    # and any other relevant labels for the issue itself:
    labels: |
      report
      automated issue
