# action-sync-node-meta
**GitHub Action that syncs package.json with the repository metadata.**
There are values that are meant to be the same. Why not automatically keep them synchronized?
### Example output
## Example
### overwrite-file
Example workflow that runs whenever commits are pushed on branch `master`.
This will overwrite the `package.json` file if it differs from the GitHub repository info.
This is the recommended syncing direction, because of the more simple setup (no need to manually add a secret to the repository settings) and the advantages of git commits (better monitoring, revertability).
`.github/workflows/example.yml`
```yaml
name: Sync package.json with repository info
on:
push:
branches: [master]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: actions/checkout
uses: actions/[email protected]
- name: Jaid/action-sync-node-meta
uses: jaid/[email protected]
with:
githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
### overwrite-github
Example workflow that runs whenever commits are pushed on branch `master`.
This will change the GitHub repository info whenever it differs from the content of `package.json`.
The secret `customGithubToken` is forwarded to the input `githubToken`. It has to be a [personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) with scope "repo" added in [your repository's secrets settings](https://github.com/YOUR_NAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY/settings/secrets).
`.github/workflows/example2.yml`
```yaml
name: Sync repository info with package.json
on:
push:
branches: [master]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: actions/checkout
uses: actions/[email protected]
- name: Jaid/action-sync-node-meta
uses: jaid/[email protected]
with:
direction: overwrite-github
githubToken: ${{ secrets.customGithubToken }}
```
Detailed setup
Go to your account settings and then to “Developer settings”.
Go to “Personal access tokens”.
Click “Generate new token”.
Give it a good title, so you still know what your token does in one year. Add „repo“ permissions.
Copy the generated token.
Go to the repository that uses action-sync-node-meta. Go to “Settings”, “Secrets”.
Click “New repository secret”.
Add the secret token from your clipboard. Name the token “repoGithubToken” or anything you like.
Now pass the token to action-sync-node-meta in your workflow file.
```yaml
- name: Jaid/action-sync-node-meta
uses: jaid/[email protected]
with:
direction: overwrite-github
githubToken: ${{ secrets.repoGithubToken }}
```
## Options
Default
Info
githubToken
*
Repository token for allowing the action to make commits or change the repository info. If direction is "overwrite-file", this input be set from forwarding secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN in the workflow file. If direction is "overwrite-github", a custom personal access token with "repo" scope has to be created.
approve
true
If true and direction is "overwrite-file", pull requests created by this action are automatically approved and merged.

Commit message for package.json changes (only for direction "overwrite-file"). Substring “{changes}” will be replaced with a list of changed package.json fields.
direction
overwrite-file
The syncing direction, can be "overwrite-file" or "overwrite-github". If "overwrite-file", the file package.json will be edited in a pull request according to the GitHub repository info. If "overwrite-github", the GitHub repository info will be changed according to the content of the package.json file.
jsonFinalNewline
true
If true and direction is "overwrite-file", the updated package.json will have a final newline.
removeBranch
true
If true and direction is "overwrite-file" and approve is also true, automatically merged pull requests will delete their branch afterwards.
