A GitHub Action to parse string inputs using different delimiters and provide dynamic input to job matrix.
This GitHub Action takes a string input and parses it using a specified delimiter. The parsed output can be used to set up job matrices for running steps/jobs in parallel.
Name | Description | Required | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
value |
A string input with or without delimiter. | Yes | |
delimiter |
A delimiter to parse the input string. | No | , |
run-all-default-values |
A default value to return if ALL or all is passed as input. |
No |
Name | Description |
---|---|
parsed |
A parsed input supported by the job matrix to run further steps/jobs in parallel. |
is-empty |
A boolean value to check if the output is empty or not. |
Below is an example of how to use the Parse Inputs GitHub Action in your workflow:
name: Example Workflow using Parse Inputs Action
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
parse-input:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Parse input values
id: parse
uses: samirsilwal/dynamic-action-matrix@v1.0.1
with:
value: 'item1,item2,item3'
delimiter: ','
- name: Display parsed values
run: echo "Parsed values are: ${{ steps.parse.outputs.parsed }}"
- name: Check if output is empty
run: echo "Is parsed output empty? ${{ steps.parse.outputs.is-empty }}"
- value : The input string is item1,item2,item3, which will be parsed using the delimiter specified.
- delimiter : This example uses a comma , as the delimiter, but you can specify any character.
- The output parsed will contain the list of items (item1, item2, item3) that can be used in other steps or jobs.
- The is-empty output will indicate if the parsed output is empty.
- If the
ALL
orall
value is passed to the value input, the action will return the value set in run-all-default-values. - This action is useful for creating dynamic job matrices in your workflows.
