Get YAML Paths

This action reads a YAML file and outputs selected properties.

The action uses lodash.get to access properties at the provided paths. The file input is the only required input. All other inputs are mapped into equally named outputs with the value at the given paths.

Inputs

`file`

Required The name of the file to load.

`name: path`

Give each path to look-up as a name: path input pair.

Outputs

The Action generates an output for name with the value at the corresponding path. Output names are all lowercase, due to limitations in GitHub Actions.

Example usage

Given an input file file.yml:

foo:
  bar: baz
provider:
  stage: green

A step definition like this:

uses: CumulusDS/get-yaml-paths-action@v0.1.0
with:
  file: file.yml
  bar: foo.bar
  providerStage: provider.stage

sets the bar output to baz and sets the providerstage output (note all lower-case) to green.

CloudFormation

The CloudFormation YAML schema is supported. The input file can contain the CloudFormation template tags:

!And
!Base64
!Cidr
!Condition
!Equals
!FindInMap
!GetAtt
!GetAZs
!If
!ImportValue
!Join
