# bookmark-action
This GitHub action bookmarks websites to a JSON file. Pair it with the [iOS Shortcut](shortcut/README.md) or click **Run workflow** from the Actions tab to submit details for the bookmark.
[Create a workflow dispatch event](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/workflows#create-a-workflow-dispatch-event) with basic information about the bookmark. The action will then fetch the web page's metadata using [open-graph-scraper](https://www.npmjs.com/package/open-graph-scraper) and add it to your JSON file in your repository, always sorting by the bookmark date.
## Set up the workflow
To use this action, create a new workflow in `.github/workflows` and modify it as needed:
```yml
name: Add bookmark
run-name: Add bookmark (${{ inputs.url }})
on:
workflow_dispatch:
inputs:
url:
description: The URL to bookmark.
required: true
type: string
notes:
description: Notes about the bookmark.
type: string
date:
description: Date (YYYY-MM-DD). The default date is today.
type: string
tags:
description: Add tags to categorize the book. Separate each tag with a comma. Optional.
type: string
permissions:
contents: write
jobs:
add-bookmark:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Add bookmark
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Bookmark action
uses: library-pals/[email protected]
with:
filename: _data/recipes.json
- name: Download the thumbnail image
run: curl "${{ env.BookmarkImage }}" -o "img/${{ env.BookmarkImageOutput }}"
if: env.BookmarkImage != ''
- name: Commit files
run: |
git pull
git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"
git add -A && git commit -m "Bookmark ${{ env.BookmarkTitle }}"
git push
```

```js
{
"ref": "main", // Required. The git reference for the workflow, a branch or tag name.
"inputs": {
"url": "", // Required. The URL to bookmark.
"notes": "", // Notes about the bookmark.
"date": "", // Date (YYYY-MM-DD). The default date is today.

}
```
