# `@actions/github`
|
|
|
|
> A hydrated Octokit client.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Returns an authenticated Octokit client that follows the machine [proxy settings](https://help.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/using-a-proxy-server-with-self-hosted-runners). See https://octokit.github.io/rest.js for the API.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const github = require('@actions/github');
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
async function run() {
|
|
// This should be a token with access to your repository scoped in as a secret.
|
|
// The YML workflow will need to set myToken with the GitHub Secret Token
|
|
// myToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
|
|
// https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token#about-the-github_token-secret
|
|
const myToken = core.getInput('myToken');
|
|
|
|
const octokit = new github.GitHub(myToken);
|
|
|
|
const { data: pullRequest } = await octokit.pulls.get({
|
|
owner: 'octokit',
|
|
repo: 'rest.js',
|
|
pull_number: 123,
|
|
mediaType: {
|
|
format: 'diff'
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
console.log(pullRequest);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
run();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can pass client options, as specified by [Octokit](https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/), as a second argument to the `GitHub` constructor.
|
|
|
|
You can also make GraphQL requests. See https://github.com/octokit/graphql.js for the API.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const result = await octokit.graphql(query, variables);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can get the context of the current action:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const github = require('@actions/github');
|
|
|
|
const context = github.context;
|
|
|
|
const newIssue = await octokit.issues.create({
|
|
...context.repo,
|
|
title: 'New issue!',
|
|
body: 'Hello Universe!'
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Webhook payload typescript definitions
|
|
|
|
The npm module `@octokit/webhooks` provides type definitions for the response payloads. You can cast the payload to these types for better type information.
|
|
|
|
First, install the npm module `npm install @octokit/webhooks`
|
|
|
|
Then, assert the type based on the eventName
|
|
```ts
|
|
import * as core from '@actions/core'
|
|
import * as github from '@actions/github'
|
|
import * as Webhooks from '@octokit/webhooks'
|
|
if (github.context.eventName === 'push') {
|
|
const pushPayload = github.context.payload as Webhooks.WebhookPayloadPush
|
|
core.info(`The head commit is: ${pushPayload.head}`)
|
|
}
|
|
```
