ezactions

Package ezactions is the easy way to write a GitHub Action in go.

To get started with a hello world action:

• Create a git repo

• Copy the code below into main.go

• Create create a go module with go mod init github.com/<you>/<reponame> && go mod tidy

• Generate your Dockerfile and action.yml with go generate .

• Commit the new files and push to GitHub

• That's it. Now you have a hello world action.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/willabides/ezactions"
)

//go:generate go run . -generate

var action = &ezactions.Action{
	Name:        "Hello World",
	Description: "Greet someone and record the time",
	Inputs: []ezactions.ActionInput{
		{
			ID:          "who-to-greet",
			Description: "Who to greet",
			Required:    true,
			Default:     "World",
		},
	},
	Outputs: []ezactions.ActionOutput{
		{
			ID:          "time",
			Description: "The time we greeted you",
		},
	},
	Run: greet,
}

func greet(inputs map[string]string, resources *ezactions.RunResources) (outputs map[string]string, err error) {
	fmt.Println("Hello " + inputs["who-to-greet"])
	return map[string]string{
		"time": time.Now().Format(time.UnixDate),
	}, nil
}

func main() {
	action.Main()
}
