Advanced tools
The gat
project is a tool to write your GitHub Actions workflows using TypeScript.
Maintaining YAML files is hard and if your project is big enough you will find yourself duplicating a lot of code between your workflows. With gat
you can create reusable jobs and steps just using TypeScript objects and importing them in your workflow templates.
Why gat
? The name is an acronym of "GitHub Actions Template Generator" without the last part because gat
means "cat" in Catalan.
Install the main package and its dependencies using the following command:
npm i -D @factorialco/gat typescript ts-node commander @swc/core
The gat
CLI assumes that your templates are inside .github/templates
. Let's create our first template:
// .github/templates/my-first-workflow.ts
import { Workflow } from "@factorialco/gat";
new Workflow("My first workflow")
.on("push")
.addJob("test", {
steps: [
{
uses: "actions/checkout@v3",
},
{
uses: "actions/setup-node@v3",
},
{
run: "npm test",
},
],
})
.compile();
Notice that you need to call the compile()
method at the end.
You can build your templates running this command in your root folder:
npx gat build
Alternatively you can also compile a single template:
npx gat build .github/templates/some-workflow.ts
Following the previous example, you should see now a file .github/workflows/my-first-workflow.yml
like this:
# Workflow automatically generated by gat
# DO NOT CHANGE THIS FILE MANUALLY
name: My first workflow
on:
push: null
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
timeout-minutes: 15
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
- run: npm test
Notice that the job includes a few assumptions like the runs-on
and timeout-minutes
fields. You can change those when adding a new job.
