name: deploy

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
      - develop
    types:
      - opened
      - synchronize
      - closed

jobs:
  set_job_environment:
    if: github.event.action != 'closed' ||
      github.event.pull_request.merged == true
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Set job environment as pr-${{ github.event.number }}
        if: github.base_ref == 'develop' &&
          contains(fromJSON('["opened", "synchronize"]'), github.event.action)
        env:
          JOB_ENVIRONMENT: pr-${{ github.event.number }}
        run: |
          echo "JOB_ENVIRONMENT=$JOB_ENVIRONMENT" >> $GITHUB_ENV

      - name: Set job environment as preview
