# TS-Action-Builder-Action

## What is this?

This is an attempt to reduce maintenace overhead of maintaining dependencies in github typescript actions.

When using the actions/typescript-acton template it introduces a check that verifies the dist folder matches the expected result, 

this is a great check but it means anytime there is a dependabot or rennovatebot PR that introduces a dependency that changes the build result.... 

you have to manually checkout the branch, run the npm commands to get the compiled JS in sync again, and then merge it. This action automates that when it detects a build results in a dirty source tree.

## Gotchas

1) You must ensure this action runs before the check-dist action and any tests you might have that use the compiled result, or re-run afterwards. Here's an example on how to do that.

``` yaml

name: CI

on:

  push:

    branches:

      - main

  pull_request:

jobs:

  

  sync-dist:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

        with:

          ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}

          fetch-depth: 0

          persist-credentials: true

      - uses: bryopsida/ts-action-builder-action@v1 #or @main if you prefer

  

  build-and test:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    needs:

      - sync-dist

    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

        with:

          ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}

          fetch-depth: 0

          persist-credentials: true

      - run: |

          npm install

      - run: |

          npm run all

  

  check-dist:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    needs:

     - sync-dist

    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

        with:

            ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}

            fetch-depth: 0

            persist-credentials: true

            ...

```

2) The GITHUB_TOKEN of the actor who trigger the action must have write acces to the repo, in the future this may change if an optional parameter to provide a GITHUB PAT is added.
