## 🌐 Configure used timezone

By default, dates use Greenwich meridian (GMT/UTC).

Configure `config_timezone` (see [supported timezone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)) to avoid time offsets.

*Example: configuring timezone*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_timezone: Europe/Paris
```

## 📦 Ordering content

Content can be manually ordered using `config_order` option.

*Example: display base.header, isocalendar, languages and stars in this specific order*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    base: header
    plugin_isocalendar: yes
    plugin_languages: yes
    plugin_stars: yes
    config_order: base.header, isocalendar, languages, stars
```

> 💡 Omitted sections will be appended at the end using default order

## 🪛 Using presets

> 🚧 This feature is an early implementation and may change before official release

It is possible to reuse the same configuration across different repositories and workflows using configuration presets.
A preset override the default values of inputs, and multiple presets can be provided at once through URLs or file paths.

Options resolution is done in the following order:
- default values
- presets, from first to last
- user values

*Example: using a configuration preset from an url*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_presets: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lowlighter/metrics/presets/lunar-red/preset.yaml
```

Some presets are hosted on this repository on the [`@presets`](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics/tree/presets) branch and can be used directly by using using their identifier prefixed by an arobase (`@`).

*Example: using a pre-defined configuration preset*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_presets: "@lunar-red"
```

> ⚠️ `🔐 Tokens` and options marked with `⏯️ Cannot be preset`, as they suggest, cannot be preset and thus requires to be explicitely defined to be set.

> ℹ️ Presets configurations use [schemas](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics/tree/presets/%40schema) to ensure compatibility between format changes

## 🎨 Custom CSS styling

Additional CSS can be injected using `extras_css` option.

*Example: changing the color of `h2`*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    base: header
    extras_css: |
      h2 {
        color: red;
      }
```

> 💡 *metrics* does not use `!important` keyword, so use it when having trouble when styling is not applied

> 💡 If you make an heavy use of this option, creating a [community templates](/source/templates/community/README.md) may be a better alternative

> ⚠️ CSS styles may slightly change between releases, backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

## 🗳️ Custom JavaScript scripting

Additional JavaScript can be injected using `extras_js` option.

*Example: removing all `h2`*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    base: header
    extras_js: |
      document.querySelectorAll("h2")?.forEach(h2 => h2.remove())
```

> ℹ️ JavaScript is executed in puppeteer context during the rendering phase, **not** in *metrics* context.
> It will be possible to access `document` and all other features accessibles like if the SVG was opened in a browser page

> 💡 If you make an heavy use of this option, creating a [community templates](/source/templates/community/README.md) may be a better alternative

> ⚠️ HTML elements may slightly change between releases, backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

## 🔲 Adjusting padding

SVG rendering is dependent on operating system, browser and fonts combination and may look different across different platforms.

It may not look like it, but computing the height of a SVG is not trivial. *metrics* spawns an headless browser and try to do its best to resize the result, but it may sometimes ends up in either cropped or oversized images.

Tweak `config_padding` option to manually adjust padding and solve this issue.

This settings supports the following format:
- 1 value for both width and height
- 2 values for width first and height second, separated by a comma (`,`)

> 💡 Both negative and positive values are allowed

Each value need to respect the following format:
- {number}
- {number} + {number}%
- {number}%

> 💡 Percentage based values are relative to the height computed by puppeteer

*Example: add 10px padding for both width and height*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_padding: 10
```

*Example: add 10px padding to height and increase it by 8%*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_padding: 0, 10 + 8%
```

*Example: remove 10% from height*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_padding: 0, -10%
```

## ↔️ Controlling display size

Some templates may support different output display size.

A `regular` display size will render a medium-sized image suitable for both desktop and mobile displays, while a `large` one will be more suitable only for desktop and some plugins (like [`📌 topics`](/source/plugins/topics/README.md) or [`🏅 contributors`](/source/plugins/contributors/README.md))

The `columns` display will render a full-width image with automatic resizing: two columns for desktop and a single one column for mobiles.

*Example: output a PNG image*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_display: large
```

## 💱 Configuring output format

Use `config_output` to change output format.

*Example: output a PNG image*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_output: png
```

A JSON output can be used to retrieved collected data and use it elsewhere.

*Example: output a JSON data dump*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_output: json
```

When using a PDF output, it is advised to set `config_base64: yes` to encode embed images in base64 in order to make self-contained documents.

*Example: output a self-contained PDF document*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    markdown: TEMPLATE.md
    config_output: markdown-pdf
    config_base64: yes
```

## ✨ Render `Metrics insights` statically

It is possible to generate a self-contained HTML file containing `✨ Metrics insights` output by using `config_output: insights`.

> 💡 Note that like `✨ Metrics insights` content is not configurable, thus any other plugin option will actually be ignored

*Example: output `✨ Metrics insights` report*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    config_output: insights
```

## 🧶 Configuring output action

### Using commits (default)

Use `config_output: commit` to make the action directly push changes to `committer_branch` with a commit.
A custom commit message can be used through `committer_message`.

> 💡 *metrics* will automatically ignore push events with a commit message containing `[Skip GitHub Action]` or `Auto-generated metrics for run #` to avoid infinite loops. Note that by default, GitHub already ignore events pushed by `${{ github.token }}` or containing `[skip ci]` in commit message

*Example: push output to metrics-renders branch rather than the default branch*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    output_action: commit
    committer_branch: metrics-renders
    committer_message: "chore: update metrics"
```

### Using pull requests

Use `config_output: pull-request` to make the action open a new pull request and push changes from the same run on it.

The last step should use either `pull-request-merge`, `pull-request-squash` or `pull-request-rebase` to merge changes to `committer_branch`.

> 💡 When using `pull-request` output action, do not forget to change `filename` too or previous output will be overwritten!

*Example: push two outputs using a merge pull request*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    filename: my-metrics-0.svg
    output_action: pull-request

- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    filename: my-metrics-1.svg
    output_action: pull-request-merge
```

### Using gists

Use `config_output: gist` to push output to a [GitHub gist](https://gist.github.com) instead.
It is required to provide a gist id to `committer_gist` option to make it work.

> 💡 This feature will use `token` instead of `committer_token` to push changes, so `gists` scope must be granted to the original `token` first

*Example: push output to a gist*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    output_action: gist
    committer_gist: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

### Manual handling

Use `config_ouput: none` to perform custom processing with outputs.
They will be available under `/metrics_renders/{filename}` in the runner.

*Example: generate outputs and manually push them*
```yaml
- name: Checkout repository
  uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      fetch-depth: 0

- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    output_action: none

- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  run: |
    set +e
    git checkout metrics-renders
    git config user.name github-actions[bot]
    git config user.email 41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com
    sudo mv /metrics_renders/* ./
    git add --all
    git commit -m "chore: push metrics"
    git push
```

## ♻️ Retrying automatically failed rendering and output action

Rendering is subject to external factors and can fail ocassionaly.
Use `retries` and `retries_delay` options to automatically retry rendering.

*Example: retry render up to 3 times (wait 5 minutes between each fail)*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    retries: 3
    retries_delay: 300
```

Output action is also subject to GitHub API rate-limiting and overall health status and can fail ocassionaly.
Use `retries_output_action` and `retries_delay_output_action` options to automatically retry output action.

> 💡 As output action is a separate step from rendering, render step won't be called again

*Example: retry output action up to 5 times (wait 2 minutes between each fail)*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    retries_output_action: 5
    retries_delay_output_action: 120
```

## 🗜️ Optimize SVG output

To reduce filesize and decrease loading time, *metrics* offers several optimization options, such as purging unused CSS and style minification, XML pretty-pretting (which also reduce diffs between changes) and general SVG optimation (still experimental).

> 💡 This option is enabled by default!

*Example: optimize CSS and XML*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    optimize: css, xml
```

*Example: optimize SVG (experimental)*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    optimize: svg
    experimental_features: --optimize-svg
```

## 🐳 Faster execution with prebuilt docker images

When using `lowlighter/metrics` official releases as a GitHub Action, a prebuilt docker container image will be pulled from [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/users/lowlighter/packages/container/package/metrics). It allows to significantly reduce workflow execution time.

> 💡 This option is enabled by default!

On forks, this feature is disable to take into account any changes you made on it.

*Example: using prebuilt docker image*
```yaml
- uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest
  with:
    use_prebuilt_image: yes
```
