Before	After
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1" env: MY_SECRET1: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET1 }} MY_SECRET2: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET2 }} MY_SECRET3: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET3 }} MY_SECRET4: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET4 }} MY_SECRET5: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET5 }} MY_SECRET6: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET6 }} ...	- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1 with: secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }} - run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1"

Usage

Add the following action to your workflow:

- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}

After running this action, subsequent actions will be able to access the secrets as env variables. Note the secrets key. It is mandatory so the action can read and export the secrets.

Basic:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET: $MY_SECRET"

Include or exclude secrets:

Exclude defined secret MY_SECRET from list of secrets.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    exclude: MY_SECRET
# MY_SECRET is not exported

Only include secret MY_SECRET

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    include: MY_SECRET
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET: $MY_SECRET"

NOTE: If specified secret does not exist, it is ignored.

Add a prefix:

Adds a prefix to all exported secrets.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    prefix: PREFIXED_
- run: echo "Value of PREFIXED_MY_SECRET: $PREFIXED_MY_SECRET"

Only export secrets that start with a given string:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    starts_with: TF_VAR_
- run: env | grep 'TF_VAR_'

Only apply string conversions (see below) for secrets that start with a given string:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    starts_with: TF_VAR_
    convert: lower
    convert_prefix: false
- run: env | grep 'TF_VAR_'

Convert:

Converts all exported secrets according to a template. Available: lower, upper, camel, constant, pascal, snake.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: compasspathways/secrets-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    secrets: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    convert: lower
- run: echo "Value of my_secret: $my_secret"

How it works

This action uses the input in secrets to read all the secrets in the JSON format, and exporting all the variables one by one.
