Git Hub Action remove console.log()

Question

I am learning the GitHub action now I have my project which consists of Angular as the front end and WordPress as the backend. For testing purposes, I have used a lot of console.log() functions for testing purposes. Now I want when I deploy or commit to the Git Hub it automatically removes all the logs so it won't be visible on deployed version.

You can use the Find and Replace action to replace all the console.log() occurrences as an intermediate step before deployment.

For example:

name: Deploy
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - '*'

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Find and Replace
        uses: jacobtomlinson/gha-find-replace@v2
        with:
          find: "console\.log\(([^)]+)\)"
          replace: ""
          regex: true

      # deployment steps

Also, I would recommend disabling console.log()s in production as an alternative. Disabling console.log() in production.

P.S. I'm not sure if regex is correct, it should be tested well. Took it here.
