Split Path – JavaScript action

Takes a path and splits it at the last slash character, if any.

Inputs

path

Required The path to split.

Outputs

dirname

If there are any slashes in path, everything before the last slash; otherwise, the string '.'.

basename

If there are any slashes in path, everything after the last slash; otherwise, all of path.

Example usage

In this example we split the value of a variable provided by GitHub actions to obtain the plain name of the repo and the name of its owner (user or organization):

  - id: split-repo
    uses: action-util/split-path@v1
    with:
      path: ${{ github.repository }}

Now ${{ steps.split-repo.outputs.basename }} is the name of the repository, and ${{ steps.split-repo.outputs.dirname }} is the name of its owner.
