templ-generator-action

This GitHub Action is designed for projects using the templ templating language. The templ-generator-action streamlines the process of code generation by automating the conversion of .templ files into Go source code, ensuring that your project's templated code is always up-to-date with your templates.

Usage

To use the templ-generator-action in your workflow, follow these steps:

  1. Set the contents-permission of the default GITHUB_TOKEN to write. This is required to commit new changes to the repository.
  2. Add the templ-generator-action step in your job, after other steps that might modify .templ files.

Here's an example workflow configuration:

name: Generate templ Code

on: push

jobs:
  generate-templ-code:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions:
      # Give the default GITHUB_TOKEN write permission to commit and push the
      # added or changed files to the repository.
      contents: write

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      # Format, generate and commit all changed .templ and generated .go files back to the repository
      - name: Generate templ code
        uses: capthiron/templ-generator-action@v1

Note

The Action has to be used in a Job that runs on a UNIX system (e.g. ubuntu-latest).

The following is an extended example with all available options.

- name: Generate templ code
  uses: capthiron/templ-generator-action@v1

    # Optional: Flag to enable or disable formatting the generated code.
    # Default is "true"
    format: "false"

    # Optional: Flag to enable or disable setting up Go.
    # If set to "false", the action requires Go to be already installed.
    # Default is "true"

    # Optional: The Go version to use.
