A single page application that helps create new issues for the CODECHECK Register by identifying the next available certificate identifier and setting the correct tags for different types of CODECHECK issues.

The app queries the GitHub API to analyze existing issues in both the testing register and production register repositories, calculates the next sequential certificate identifier, and generates properly formatted GitHub issues with appropriate templates and labels.

• 🔢 Smart Identifier Calculation: Automatically finds the next available certificate identifier
• 🏷️ Unified Template: Single template for all CODECHECK works
• 🔄 Repository Selection: Toggle between testing and production registers
• 👥 Codechecker Assignment: Search and assign codecheckers from CSV data with auto-complete
• 📝 Author Management: Input and manage author names for certificates
• 📋 Template Generation: Pre-filled issue templates with proper formatting
• 👁️ Issue Preview: Modal preview of GitHub issues before creation
• 🎯 Direct GitHub Integration: One-click issue creation with correct labels
• 📊 Repository Statistics: View register metrics and analysis results
• 📱 Responsive Design: Mobile-friendly interface
• 🎨 Consistent CODECHECK Branding: Matches codecheck.org.uk design

1. Download dependencies:

   npm run download-deps

2. Start the development server:

• CSS Source: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
• JS Source: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js
• Output: assets/css/bootstrap.min.css and assets/js/bootstrap.min.js

Downloads the Papa Parse CSV parsing library to handle codechecker data.

• Source: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/papaparse.min.js
• Output: assets/js/papaparse.min.js

1. Repository Analysis: The app fetches all issues from the selected GitHub repository
2. Identifier Extraction: Uses regex patterns to find existing certificate identifiers (format: YYYY.NNNNN)
3. Next ID Calculation: Determines the next sequential number available for the current year
4. Template Generation: Creates issue titles, bodies, and labels for CODECHECK works
5. GitHub Integration: Generates pre-filled GitHub issue creation URLs

This application is designed for static hosting and is fully compatible with GitHub Pages:

1. Push your changes to the main branch
2. Enable GitHub Pages in repository settings
3. Set source to "Deploy from a branch" → main → / (root)
