Update version and publish npm from GH
Setting up CI with GitHub Actions to update a node.js package version from GitHub release tag and publish it to npm
Super proud of this, since it's my first node.js package ever (created brand-new account on https://www.npmjs.com/ and all 😁), for doing syntax highlighting for dotnetconfig that works in docfx.
Assuming you already have a
package.json in the root repo dir, add the .github\workflows\npm.yml as follows:name: publish
on:
release:
types: [created]
jobs:
publish-npm:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: 12
registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org/
- name: Set version from tag
run: npm --no-git-tag-version version ${GITHUB_REF#refs/*/}
- run: npm publish
env:
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.npm_token}}
- 1.I'm running only on release creation
- 2.Using the GitHub envvar for the checked out tag, I'm updating the version but opting out of the git behavior (which fails on CI because it's a detached head at that point)
- 3.
