read-properties GitHub Action

read-properties allows you to read key values from your .properties file on Any github platform e.g. MacOS, Linux, Windows

Integrating with GitHub actions

GitHub actions are a flexible way to automatically build your project. I have found working on several projects the need to change the version of the .properties file.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have

a GitHub account with Actions enabled
a project with a .properties file

Inputs

`path`

Required The path to properties file to read.

`property`

Required The property you want to read.

Outputs

`value`

The value of the given property.

Example usage

- name: Read value from Properties-file
  id: read_property
  uses: Reedyuk/read-properties@v1.0.1
  with:
    path: './src/main/resources/application.properties'
    property: 'the.key.of.the.property'
- name: Do something with your bumped release version
  run: echo ${{ steps.read_property.outputs.value }}
  # will print "the value of 'the.key.of.the.property'"
