How to create dynamic GitHub Actions based on the contents of a repository
- GitHub Actions allow for programmatically creating jobs using a matrix strategy.
- At Diploi, dynamic GitHub Action jobs are generated based on the configuration of applications created using Diploi.
- Applications on Diploi have a mono-repo structure, and Kubernetes creates isolated Docker containers for each component of the application.
- For each component, two Docker images are built: one for development and one for staging/production.
- The Build.yaml file contains instructions for GitHub Action runners, generated for applications using Diploi's Stack Builder.
- The GitHub Action involves two jobs: define-components and run-builds, which create and build components based on user choices.
- The define-components job collects component metadata using an action stored in a separate repository.
- The run-builds job uses the matrix strategy to dynamically generate jobs based on the output of define-components.
- This approach makes the process scalable, as it allows generating jobs for each component dynamically.
- The use of matrix strategies in GitHub Actions enables programmatically generating jobs for various components efficiently.
