Use this template to bootstrap the creation of a JavaScript action.:rocket:
[GitHub Action][] to **to remove GitHub Action workflow runs of deleted branches**

This template includes tests, linting, a validation workflow, publishing, and versioning guidance.

If you are new, there's also a simpler introduction. See the [Hello World JavaScript Action](https://github.com/actions/hello-world-javascript-action)

## Create an action from this template

Click the `Use this Template` and provide the new repo details for your action

## Code in Main

Install the dependencies

```bash
yarn install
```

Run the tests :heavy_check_mark:

```bash
$ yarn test

PASS ./index.test.js
✓ throws invalid number (3ms)
wait 500 ms (504ms)
test runs (95ms)
...
```

## Change action.yml

The action.yml defines the inputs and output for your action.

Update the action.yml with your name, description, inputs and outputs for your action.

See the [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/articles/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions)

## Change the Code

Most toolkit and CI/CD operations involve async operations so the action is run in an async function.

```javascript
const core = require('@actions/core');
...

async function run() {
try {
...
}
catch (error) {
core.setFailed(error.message);
}
}

run()
```

See the [toolkit documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/README.md#packages) for the various packages.

## Package for distribution

GitHub Actions will run the entry point from the action.yml. Packaging assembles the code into one file that can be checked in to Git, enabling fast and reliable execution and preventing the need to check in node_modules.

Actions are run from GitHub repos. Packaging the action will create a packaged action in the dist folder.

Run prepare

```bash
yarn run prepare
```
## Usage

Since the packaged index.js is run from the dist folder.
You can now consume the action by referencing the v1 branch

```bash
git add dist
```yaml
steps:
- uses: kula-app/remove-stale-workflow-runs@v1
```

## Create a release branch

Users shouldn't consume the action from master since that would be latest code and actions can break compatibility between major versions.

Checkin to the v1 release branch

```bash
git checkout -b v1
git commit -a -m "v1 release"
```
### Inputs

```bash
git push origin v1
```
- **`repository: ${{ github.repository}}`**

Note: We recommend using the `--license` option for ncc, which will create a license file for all of the production node modules used in your project.
**Required.** Name of a repository on GitHub, with owner, e.g. `username/reponame`; this refers to https://github.com/username/reponame.git.

Your action is now published! :rocket:
- **`token: ${{ github.token }}`**

See the [versioning documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md)
**Required.** Name of a repository on GitHub, with owner; this refers to https://github.com/username/reponame.git. Defaults to the repository name where the GitHub action is run.

## Usage
- **`dry_run: false`**

You can now consume the action by referencing the v1 branch
Only find stale workflow runs but do not delete anything

```yaml
uses: actions/javascript-action@v1
with:
milliseconds: 1000
```
- **`max_runs_limit: 0`**

See the [actions tab](https://github.com/actions/javascript-action/actions) for runs of this action! :rocket:
Limits the number of fetched workflow runs, e.g. `500`. Setting the limit to `0` means no limit
