  • javascript-action

    Create a JavaScript Action with tests, linting, workflow, publishing, and versioning

  • The basic approach is pretty easy and described in GitHub documentation here. Also, there are simple JavaScript and TypeScript action examples provided by GitHub. I will not focus on it here.

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • ncc

    Compile a Node.js project into a single file. Supports TypeScript, binary addons, dynamic requires.

  • The most unclear and confusing part is packing the code using ncc. The necessity of this step is caused by GitHub’s approach to running your Action.
