# parse-front-matter-action
A GitHub Action to parse YAML Front Matter
## :meat_on_bone: Features
- Interprets and separates the [YAML Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/) of the content and returns it as JSON.
- The type of content that can be interpreted complies with [gray-matter](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gray-matter).
## :rocket: Simple Example
```yaml
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
run-action:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- id: parse-front-matter
uses: kjirou/parse-front-matter-action@v1
with:
content: "---\ntitle: Title\n---\n## Headline\n\nText"
- run: |
echo '${{ steps.parse-front-matter.outputs.frontMatterAsJson }}'
echo '${{ steps.parse-front-matter.outputs.body }}'
```
The above workflow produces the following output:
```
{"title":"Title"}
## Headline
Text
```
## :cat: Practical Example
This is an example of a GitHub Workflow for submitting a routine issue via [`workflow_dispatch`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_dispatch).
```yaml
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
template-id:
required: true
jobs:
run-action:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- id: read-template
uses: juliangruber/read-file-action@v1
with:
path: ./issue-templates/${{ inputs.template-id }}.md
- id: parse-front-matter
uses: kjirou/parse-front-matter-action@v1
with:
content: ${{ steps.read-template.outputs.content }}
- uses: actions/github-script@v6
env:
BODY: ${{ steps.parse-front-matter.outputs.body }}
FRONT_MATTER_AS_JSON: ${{ steps.parse-front-matter.outputs.frontMatterAsJson }}
with:
script: |
const frontMatter = JSON.parse(process.env.FRONT_MATTER_AS_JSON);
const title = frontMatter.title || 'No title';
const body = process.env.BODY.trim();
const labels = Array.isArray(frontMatter.labels) ? frontMatter.labels : [];
github.rest.issues.create({
owner: context.repo.owner,
repo: context.repo.repo,
title,
body,
labels,
});
```
`issue-templates/routine-task.md`
```md
---
title: A Routine Task
labels:
- good first issue
---
## A Routine Task
- Hello!
- Goodby!
```
After executing, you will be able to submit an issue as shown in [this image](/documents/routine-task.png).
## :hammer_and_wrench: Development
### Preparation
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
- The version is defined in [.nvmrc](/.nvmrc).
### Installation
```
git clone [email protected]:kjirou/parse-front-matter-action.git
cd ./parse-front-matter-action
npm install
```
### Debugging Notes
- After changing JS, execute `npm run build` and push it.
- Run manual testing with [the `manual-testing` workflow](https://github.com/kjirou/parse-front-matter-action/actions/workflows/manual-testing.yml).
- Versioning was done manually.
