# `@actions/core`

|
|
> Core functions for setting results, logging, registering secrets and exporting variables across actions
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
#### Inputs/Outputs
|
|
|
|
You can use this library to get inputs or set outputs:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
const myInput = core.getInput('inputName', { required: true });
|
|
|
|
// Do stuff
|
|
|
|
core.setOutput('outputKey', 'outputVal');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Exporting variables/secrets
|
|
|
|
You can also export variables and secrets for future steps. Variables get set in the environment automatically, while secrets must be scoped into the environment from a workflow using `${{ secrets.FOO }}`. Secrets will also be masked from the logs:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
// Do stuff
|
|
|
|
core.exportVariable('envVar', 'Val');
|
|
core.exportSecret('secretVar', variableWithSecretValue);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### PATH Manipulation
|
|
|
|
You can explicitly add items to the path for all remaining steps in a workflow:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
core.addPath('pathToTool');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Exit codes
|
|
|
|
You should use this library to set the failing exit code for your action:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
// Do stuff
|
|
}
|
|
catch (err) {
|
|
// setFailed logs the message and sets a failing exit code
|
|
core.setFailed(`Action failed with error ${err}`);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Logging
|
|
|
|
Finally, this library provides some utilities for logging. Note that debug logging is hidden from the logs by default. This behavior can be toggled by enabling the [Step Debug Logs](../../docs/action-debugging.md#step-debug-logs).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const core = require('@actions/core');
|
|
|
|
const myInput = core.getInput('input');
|
|
try {
|
|
core.debug('Inside try block');
|
|
|
|
if (!myInput) {
|
|
core.warning('myInput wasnt set');
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Do stuff
|
|
}
|
|
catch (err) {
|
|
core.error(`Error ${err}, action may still succeed though`);
|
|
}
|
|
```
