Getting the tagging working about nx-tools

[cskiwi]

By doing:

- run: npx nx affected --target=docker --base=${{ needs.base.outputs.base }} --head=origin/main
  env:
    INPUT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    INPUT_TAGS: ${{env.LATEST_TAG}}

I can get the version tag on it. But now I don't have the latest tag on it. Is there any way to add this?

You need to push an actual tag in order to get match and semver to work, using npm version for instance and have the action run on that. The latest tag will be automatically added when this happens due to the semver and match rules. In addition, as you might be working with a monorepo semver might not work as the tags created are usually of the format <app>@<version>(e.g. changesets). I have added some rules to cover that scenario below:

"type=match,pattern=/app-name@(\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)(?!-)/i,group=1",
"type=match,pattern=/app-name@(\\d+\\.\\d+)\\.\\d+(?!-)/i,group=1",
"type=match,pattern=/app-name@(\\d+)\\.\\d+\\.\\d+(?!-)/i,group=1",

Also this might be of interest regarding the generation of the latest tag https://github.com/docker/metadata-action#latest-tag

thanks! but the creation of a docker image isn't needed anymore. So I can't test this as I've removed the code.
