create-json
Create a .json file dynamically on your workflow
Example of the output on the .json file created:
{
"name":"jsdaniell",
"password":"mypass"
}You can define a json structure on the secrets of your repository:
{
"name":"jsdaniell",
"password":"mypass"
}MY_JSON (Secrets variables can be configured on repository settings > Secrets)
and use in this way:
- name: create-json
id: create-json
uses: jsdaniell/[email protected]
with:
name: "credentials.json"
json: ${{ secrets.MY_JSON }}Or just declare a string of a json on the property json like:
- name: create-json
id: create-json
uses: jsdaniell/[email protected]
with:
name: "new-json-file.json"
json: '{"name":"jsdaniell", "password":"mypass"}'The json have to be inside a string.
You also can save the json on a subdirectory using the property dir:
- name: create-json
id: create-json
uses: jsdaniell/[email protected]
with:
name: "credentials.json"
json: ${{ secrets.CREDENTIALS_JSON }}
dir: 'src/'Remember that when you create a .json file, the file was not commited, you have to commit the file if you will use the HEAD branch with the file to push the repository to other service, like deploy to heroku or other platforms.
If you want to create more than one json files, you have to specify different IDs for the action like:
- name: create-json
id: create-json-1 # First ID
uses: jsdaniell/[email protected]
with:
name: "credentials.json"
json: ${{ secrets.CREDENTIALS_JSON }}
dir: 'src/'
- name: create-json
id: create-json-2 # Second ID
uses: jsdaniell/[email protected]
with:
name: "other.json"
json: '{"name":"jsdaniell", "password":"mypass"}'

heroku_app_name: "dev-data-tools-api-golang"
heroku_email: "[email protected]"
appdir: "src"After commit and use with Heroku the file is deleted after the workflow and the JSON is not showed on the log, perfect for public repositories.
