Welcome to the home of projen-github-action-typescript!

This is an external projen project type that aims to make creating GitHub Actions in TypeScript easier.

npx projen new --from projen-github-action-typescript

• projen-managed action.yml file: write your yaml metadata in .projenrc.js, where your code is type-checked and available properties are easy to find.

  const project = new GitHubActionTypeScriptProject({
    name: 'my-project',
    defaultReleaseBranch: 'main',
    actionMetadata: {
      runs: {
        using: RunsUsing.NODE_12,
        main: 'dist/index.js',
      },
      inputs: {
        myInput: {
          description: 'my first input',
        },
      },
      outputs: {
        myOutput: {
          description: 'my first output',
        },
      },
    },
  });

• sensible defaults to JavaScript actions: JavaScript actions come pre-configured with the necessary workflow to bundle your source code into one index.js file that GitHub Actions can execute.

• generate an entrypoint file that receives inputs specified in action.yml.
• generate a CLI from action.yml inputs to unlock sensible testing of the action.
