What is @actions/core?

The @actions/core package provides a set of core functions for GitHub Actions users to help manage inputs, outputs, and other features within their GitHub Actions workflows. It simplifies the process of coding actions by offering utility functions for common tasks.

What are @actions/core's main functionalities?

Getting action inputs

This feature allows you to easily retrieve inputs defined in your action's YAML file. The example code demonstrates how to get an input with the name 'inputName', marking it as required.

const input = core.getInput('inputName', { required: true });

Setting action outputs

Enables you to set outputs for your action, which can be used by other steps in your workflow. The code sample shows how to set an output with a key of 'outputKey' and a value of 'outputValue'.

core.setOutput('outputKey', 'outputValue');

Logging

Provides various logging functions to help debug or provide information during the execution of your action. The code demonstrates how to log an information message, a warning message, and an error message.

core.info('Information message');
core.warning('Warning message');
core.error('Error message');

Setting environment variables

Allows you to set environment variables that will be available to subsequent steps in your workflow. The example code sets an environment variable named 'VAR_NAME' with a value of 'value'.

core.exportVariable('VAR_NAME', 'value');

Setting a secret

This function registers a value as a secret, which masks the value from logs. The code sample demonstrates how to mask 'secretValue' from GitHub Actions logs.

core.setSecret('secretValue');
