dgadavin / create-env-json

GitHub action that writes environment variables (or anything you want) to a JSON

create-env-json

This action writes environment variables (or anything you want) to a JSON file that can be accessed by future steps.

Inputs

• [required] file-name: The name of the file to be written.
• Other variables: you must specify any other variable you want written to the JSON as input variables. Pass the variable with the name you want to appear in the JSON.

Output

• full-path: The full path to the written file

Usage

uses: schdck/create-env-json@v1
id: create-env
with:
  file-name: 'env.json'
  super-secret: ${{ secrets.SuperSecret }}
  CONNECTION_STRING: ${{ secrets.connection_string }}

This will generate the following JSON:

{"super-secret":"[your-super-secret]","CONNECTION_STRING":"[your-connection-string]"}

You can later pass it's path as an input for another program (e.g. claudia.js, which receives a JSON in --set-env-from-json)

Acessing the full-path

You can later access the full path of the file using ${{ steps.create-env.outputs.full-path }}
