solves issue #2

Converted the action to support node instead of composite action. I also draft published and used it in my repo for testing and works fine now which was not working in composite, I think the workflow does not support composite type on publish but i am not sure.

hey, why did you embed all the node library code here? this can not be the way to use a library

I think it is supposed to run on the browser itself. Also we are not adding any pre-installations of any package like twitter-api-v2. It is directly fetching from the node-modules.

I am talking about the 300+ files you added and the folder twitter-api-v2. I don't get why it is needed there.

Yes, I am talking about the same. These are part of the node_module folder and come under the twitter-api-v2. When we run a nodejs application it requires certain libraries like in our case twitter-api-v2. Normally when we run the app locally we run the npm install command to get all the required modules and are stored in node_modules folder. So node_module is necessary for a app/script to run in node environment.
I intentionally pushed the node_modules because:

As we are not running this script index.js in our local environment and we are running it on the browser itself, we will need them in the repository for running the script. Unless that it will throw an error called module not found.
As we publish this action the action will redirect to the index.js and create node environment but that does not include the libraries we require. Unlike python normally installing a package won't also work as it will always look under the node_modules.

You can refer to this documentation about creating a javascript-action. There are some alternative to this but as we won't be changing our code that much I think it is unnecessary.

The action that we were using before does the same with a lot more modules than us.
