||
| Use this template to bootstrap the creation of a TypeScript action. :rocket: | ||
|
|
||
| This template includes compilation support, tests, a validation workflow, | ||
| publishing, and versioning guidance. | ||
|
|
||
| If you are new, there's also a simpler introduction in the | ||
| [Hello world JavaScript action repository](https://github.com/actions/hello-world-javascript-action). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Create Your Own Action | ||
|
|
||
| To create your own action, you can use this repository as a template! Just | ||
| follow the below instructions: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Click the **Use this template** button at the top of the repository | ||
| 1. Select **Create a new repository** | ||
| 1. Select an owner and name for your new repository | ||
| 1. Click **Create repository** | ||
| 1. Clone your new repository | ||
|
|
||
| > [!IMPORTANT] | ||
| > | ||
| > Make sure to remove or update the [`CODEOWNERS`](./CODEOWNERS) file! For | ||
| > details on how to use this file, see | ||
| > [About code owners](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners). | ||
| ## Initial Setup | ||
|
|
||
| After you've cloned the repository to your local machine or codespace, you'll | ||
| need to perform some initial setup steps before you can develop your action. | ||
|
|
||
| > [!NOTE] | ||
| > | ||
| > You'll need to have a reasonably modern version of | ||
| > [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) handy (20.x or later should work!). If you are | ||
| > using a version manager like [`nodenv`](https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv) or | ||
| > [`nvm`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm), this template has a `.node-version` | ||
| > file at the root of the repository that will be used to automatically switch | ||
| > to the correct version when you `cd` into the repository. Additionally, this | ||
| > `.node-version` file is used by GitHub Actions in any `actions/setup-node` | ||
| > actions. | ||
| 1. :hammer_and_wrench: Install the dependencies | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| npm install | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. :building_construction: Package the TypeScript for distribution | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| npm run bundle | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. :white_check_mark: Run the tests | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| $ npm test | ||
| PASS ./index.test.js | ||
| ✓ throws invalid number (3ms) | ||
| ✓ wait 500 ms (504ms) | ||
| ✓ test runs (95ms) | ||
| ... | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Update the Action Metadata | ||
|
|
||
| The [`action.yml`](action.yml) file defines metadata about your action, such as | ||
| input(s) and output(s). For details about this file, see | ||
| [Metadata syntax for GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions). | ||
|
|
||
| When you copy this repository, update `action.yml` with the name, description, | ||
| inputs, and outputs for your action. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Update the Action Code | ||
|
|
||
| The [`src/`](./src/) directory is the heart of your action! This contains the | ||
| source code that will be run when your action is invoked. You can replace the | ||
| contents of this directory with your own code. | ||
|
|
||
| There are a few things to keep in mind when writing your action code: | ||
|
|
||
| - Most GitHub Actions toolkit and CI/CD operations are processed | ||
| asynchronously. In `main.ts`, you will see that the action is run in an | ||
| `async` function. | ||
|
|
||
| ```javascript | ||
| import * as core from '@actions/core'; | ||
| //... | ||
| async function run() { | ||
| try { | ||
| //... | ||
| } catch (error) { | ||
| core.setFailed(error.message); | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| For more information about the GitHub Actions toolkit, see the | ||
| [documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/README.md). | ||
|
|
||
| So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start customizing your action! | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Create a new branch | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| git checkout -b releases/v1 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Replace the contents of `src/` with your action code | ||
| 1. Add tests to `__tests__/` for your source code | ||
| 1. Format, test, and build the action | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| npm run all | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| > This step is important! It will run [`ncc`](https://github.com/vercel/ncc) | ||
| > to build the final JavaScript action code with all dependencies included. | ||
| > If you do not run this step, your action will not work correctly when it | ||
| > is used in a workflow. This step also includes the `--license` option for | ||
| > `ncc`, which will create a license file for all of the production node | ||
| > modules used in your project. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Commit your changes | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| git add . | ||
| git commit -m "My first action is ready!" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Push them to your repository | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| git push -u origin releases/v1 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Create a pull request and get feedback on your action | ||
| 1. Merge the pull request into the `main` branch | ||
|
|
||
| Your action is now published! :rocket: | ||
|
|
||
| For information about versioning your action, see | ||
| [Versioning](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md) | ||
| in the GitHub Actions toolkit. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Validate the Action | ||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| You can now validate the action by referencing it in a workflow file. For | ||
| example, [`ci.yml`](./.github/workflows/ci.yml) demonstrates how to reference an | ||
| action in the same repository. | ||
| Have a look at this configuration: | ||
| https://github.com/imyanice/pomodoro-timer/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml. | ||
| Kinda yonkie but you get the point build.yml: | ||
|
|
||
| ```yaml | ||
| steps: | ||
| - name: Checkout | ||
| id: checkout | ||
| uses: actions/checkout@v4 | ||
| - name: Test Local Action | ||
| id: test-action | ||
| uses: ./ | ||
| with: | ||
| milliseconds: 1000 | ||
| - name: Print Output | ||
| id: output | ||
| run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}" | ||
| - uses: imyanice/rust-build.action@latest | ||
| env: | ||
| GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} | ||
| with: | ||
| tagName: app-v__VERSION__ # The action replaces __VERSION__ with your version. | ||
| releaseName: 'App v__VERSION__' | ||
| targets: 'aarch64-apple-darwin,x86_64-apple-darwin' # the two supported for now | ||
| srcDir: './' | ||
| ``` | ||
| For example workflow runs, check out the | ||
| [Actions tab](https://github.com/actions/typescript-action/actions)! :rocket: | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| After testing, you can create version tag(s) that developers can use to | ||
| reference different stable versions of your action. For more information, see | ||
| [Versioning](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md) | ||
| in the GitHub Actions toolkit. | ||
| ## BUT! You also need a Cargo.toml config! | ||
| To include the action in a workflow in another repository, you can use the | ||
| `uses` syntax with the `@` symbol to reference a specific branch, tag, or commit | ||
| hash. | ||
| Here is an example: | ||
| ```yaml | ||
| steps: | ||
| - name: Checkout | ||
| id: checkout | ||
| uses: actions/checkout@v4 | ||
| - name: Test Local Action | ||
| id: test-action | ||
| uses: actions/typescript-action@v1 # Commit with the `v1` tag | ||
| with: | ||
| milliseconds: 1000 | ||
| - name: Print Output | ||
| id: output | ||
| run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}" | ||
| ``` | ||
| [rust-build.action] | ||
| identifier = "me.yanice.pomodoro-timer" | ||
| category = "public.app-category.utilities" | ||
| copyright = "© 2024 Yanice (imyanice)." | ||
| icon = "icons/icon.png" | ||
| displayName = "Pomodoro Timer" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Publishing a New Release | ||
|
|
||
| This project includes a helper script, [`script/release`](./script/release) | ||
| designed to streamline the process of tagging and pushing new releases for | ||
| GitHub Actions. | ||
|
|
||
| GitHub Actions allows users to select a specific version of the action to use, | ||
| based on release tags. This script simplifies this process by performing the | ||
| following steps: | ||
| # License | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Retrieving the latest release tag:** The script starts by fetching the most | ||
| recent release tag by looking at the local data available in your repository. | ||
| 1. **Prompting for a new release tag:** The user is then prompted to enter a new | ||
| release tag. To assist with this, the script displays the latest release tag | ||
| and provides a regular expression to validate the format of the new tag. | ||
| 1. **Tagging the new release:** Once a valid new tag is entered, the script tags | ||
| the new release. | ||
| 1. **Pushing the new tag to the remote:** Finally, the script pushes the new tag | ||
| to the remote repository. From here, you will need to create a new release in | ||
| GitHub and users can easily reference the new tag in their workflows. | ||
