# Create a GitHub Action Using TypeScript

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
```
> [!WARNING]
>
> 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
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.
```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 "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}"
```
For example workflow runs, check out the
[Actions tab](https://github.com/actions/typescript-action/actions)! :rocket:
## Usage
After testing, you can create version tag(s) that developers can use to
reference different stable versions of your action. For more information, see
[Versioning](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md)
in the GitHub Actions toolkit.
To include the action in a workflow in another repository, you can use the
`uses` syntax with the `@` symbol to reference a specific branch, tag, or commit
hash.
```yaml
steps:
- name: Checkout
id: checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Test Local Action
id: test-action
uses: actions/typescript-action@v1 # Commit with the `v1` tag
with:
milliseconds: 1000
- name: Print Output
id: output
run: echo "${{ steps.test-action.outputs.time }}"
```
## 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:
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.
