## Change actions.yml
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The actions.yml contains defines the inputs and output for your action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update the actions.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
|
|
|
|
const core = require('@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.

## Usage:
|
|

|
|

|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
uses: actions/javascript-action@v1
|
