GitHub Action - Match Angular Versions

This GitHub Action (written in JavaScript) modifies the root package.json of a project and replaces the version of all Angular related dependencies for given base version.

When necessary it updates the angular.json to use the correct builder.

Usage

Pre-requisites

Create a workflow .yml file in your repositories .github/workflows directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.

Inputs

angular-version: The base Angular version used to match the dependency version. Ex: 8.0.x, 10.0.x. To check the full list of supported versions, see supported versions.
root-path: The path to the root folder of the project where the package.json and angular.json files are located. Defaults to ./.

Example workflow - match Angular versions

name: CI workflow

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        angular-version:
          - 6.0.x
          - 6.1.x
          - 7.0.x
          - 7.1.x
          - 7.2.x
          - 8.0.x
          - 8.1.x
          - 8.2.x
          - 9.0.x
          - 9.1.x
          - 10.0.x
          - 10.1.x
          - 10.2.x
          - 11.0.x
          - 11.1.x
          - 11.2.x
          - 12.0.x
          - 12.1.x
          - 12.2.x
          - 13.0.x

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Use Node.js 12.x
        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: 12.x
      - name: Use Angular ${{ matrix.angular-version }}
        uses: ngworker/angular-versions-action@v4
        with:
          angular-version: ${{ matrix.angular-version }}

      - run: yarn install
      - run: yarn lint
      - run: yarn build
      - run: yarn test

This example use the github matrix to build, lint and test your code against different versions of Angular. This should be specially useful for library authors.

Remove allowedCommonJsDependencies options on Angular versions under 10
