need-npm-package-version-bump

This GitHub Action checks a Pull Request's version in its package.json file against the base branch.

Usage

This Action can be used in a Pull Request Trigger (either pull_request or pull_request_target). Here's a couple basic examples:

For pull_request Events

Add this Action as a step sometime after your checkout step.

name: Tests (PR)
on:
  pull_request:
    jobs:
      run-tests:
        name: Test Pull Request
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
          - name: Checkout
            uses: actions/checkout@v3
          - name: Check for Version Bump
            uses: bachmacintosh/need-npm-package-version-bump@v1

For pull_request_target Events

Make sure that the Pull Request's head ref is being checked out to properly compare old and new package.json versions.

name: Tests (PR)
on:
  pull_request_target:
    jobs:
      run-tests:
        name: Test Pull Request
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
          - name: Checkout
            uses: actions/checkout@v3
            with:
              ref: ${{github.event.pull_request.head.ref}}
              repository: ${{github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name}}
          - name: Check for Version Bump
            uses: bachmacintosh/need-npm-package-version-bump@v1

For Private Repos

Make sure to provide a GitHub token that can read the base branch's contents.

name: Tests (PR)
on:
  pull_request:
    jobs:
      run-tests:
        name: Test Pull Request
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        permissions:
          contents: read
        steps:
          - name: Checkout
            uses: actions/checkout@v3
          - name: Check for Version Bump
            uses: bachmacintosh/need-npm-package-version-bump@v1
            with:
              repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
