# Create a JavaScript Action using TypeScript

Use this template to bootstrap the creation of a JavaScript action.:rocket:

This template includes compilication support, tests, a validation workflow, publishing, and versioning guidance.  

If you are new, there's also a simpler introduction.  See the [Hello World JavaScript Action](https://github.com/actions/hello-world-javascript-action)

## Create an action from this template

Click the `Use this Template` and provide the new repo details for your action

## Code in Master

Install the dependencies  

```bash

$ npm install

```

Build the typescript and package it for distribution

```bash

$ npm run build && npm run pack

```

Run the tests :heavy_check_mark:  

```bash

$ npm test

 PASS  ./index.test.js

  ✓ throws invalid number (3ms)

  ✓ wait 500 ms (504ms)

  ✓ test runs (95ms)

...

```

## Change action.yml

The action.yml contains defines the inputs and output for your action.

Update the action.yml with your name, description, inputs and outputs for your action.

See the [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/articles/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions)

## Change the Code

Most toolkit and CI/CD operations involve async operations so the action is run in an async function.

```javascript

import * as core from '@actions/core';

...

async function run() {

  try { 

      ...

  } 

  catch (error) {

    core.setFailed(error.message);

  }

}

run()

```

See the [toolkit documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/README.md#packages) for the various packages.

## Publish to a distribution branch

Actions are run from GitHub repos so we will checkin the packed dist folder. 

Then run [ncc](https://github.com/zeit/ncc) and push the results:

```bash

$ npm run pack

$ git add dist

$ git commit -a -m "prod dependencies"

$ git push origin releases/v1

```

Your action is now published! :rocket: 

See the [versioning documentation](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md)

## Validate

You can now validate the action by referencing `./` in a workflow in your repo (see [test.yml](.github/workflows/test.yml)])

```yaml

uses: ./

with:

  milliseconds: 1000

```

See the [actions tab](https://github.com/actions/javascript-action/actions) for runs of this action! :rocket:

## Usage:

After testing you can [create a v1 tag](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/docs/action-versioning.md) to reference the stable and latest V1 action
