Outputs can be set with `setOutput` which makes them available to be mapped into inputs of other actions to ensure they are decoupled. + +```js +const myInput = core.getInput('inputName', { required: true }); + +core.setOutput('outputKey', 'outputVal'); +``` + +#### Exporting variables + +Since each step runs in a separate process, you can use `exportVariable` to add it to this step and future steps environment blocks. + +```js +core.exportVariable('envVar', 'Val'); +``` + +#### Setting a secret + +Setting a secret registers the secret with the runner to ensure it is masked in logs. + +```js +core.setSecret('myPassword'); +``` + +#### PATH Manipulation + +To make a tool's path available in the path for the remainder of the job (without altering the machine or containers state), use `addPath`. The runner will prepend the path given to the jobs PATH. + +```js +core.addPath('/path/to/mytool'); +``` + +#### Exit codes + +You should use this library to set the failing exit code for your action. If status is not set and the script runs to completion, that will lead to a success. + +```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}`); +} + +Note that `setNeutral` is not yet implemented in actions V2 but equivalent functionality is being planned. + +``` + +#### 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 was not set'); + } + + if (core.isDebug()) { + // curl -v https://github.com + } else { + // curl https://github.com + } + + // Do stuff + core.info('Output to the actions build log') +} +catch (err) { + core.error(`Error ${err}, action may still succeed though`); +} +``` + +This library can also wrap chunks of output in foldable groups. + +```js +const core = require('@actions/core') + +// Manually wrap output +core.startGroup('Do some function') +doSomeFunction() +core.endGroup() + +// Wrap an asynchronous function call +const result = await core.group('Do something async', async () => { + const response = await doSomeHTTPRequest() + return response +}) +``` + +#### Action state + +You can use this library to save state and get state for sharing information between a given wrapper action: + +**action.yml** +```yaml +name: 'Wrapper action sample' +inputs: + name: + default: 'GitHub' +runs: + using: 'node12' + main: 'main.js' + post: 'cleanup.js' +``` + +In action's `main.js`: + +```js +const core = require('@actions/core'); + +core.saveState("pidToKill", 12345); +``` + +In action's `cleanup.js`: +```js +const core = require('@actions/core'); + +var pid = core.getState("pidToKill"); + +process.kill(pid); +``` |
