secrets-to-env

This action provides the following functionality for GitHub Actions users:

• Read json (key-value pairs) and export all of them as environment variables
• Optionally including, excluding and manipulating variables as needed before importing

Before	After
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1" env: MY_SECRET1: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET1 }} MY_SECRET2: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET2 }} MY_SECRET3: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET3 }} MY_SECRET4: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET4 }} MY_SECRET5: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET5 }} MY_SECRET6: ${{ secrets.MY_SECRET6 }} ...	- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1 with: json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }} - run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET1: $MY_SECRET1"

Usage

Add the following action to your workflow:

- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}

After running this action, subsequent actions will be able to access the secrets as env variables. Note the json_envs key. It is mandatory so the action can read and export the secrets, vars for example.

Basic using secrets:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
- run: echo "Value of MY_SECRET: $MY_SECRET"

Basic using Enviroment Variables:

enviroment: production
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(vars) }}
- run: echo "Value of PRODUCTION_ENV_VAR: $PRODUCTION_ENV_VAR"

Add a prefix:

Adds a prefix to all exported secrets.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    prefix: PREFIXED_
- run: echo "Value of PREFIXED_MY_SECRET: $PREFIXED_MY_SECRET"

Convert:

Converts all exported secrets according to a template. Available: lower, upper, camel, constant, pascal, snake.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    convert: lower
- run: echo "Value of my_secret: $my_secret"

Include or skip the prefix on conversion (default is true):

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: RaphaelNeumann/json-to-env-action@v1
  with:
    json_envs: ${{ toJSON(secrets) }}
    prefix: PREFIX_
    convert: lower
    convert_prefix: false
- run: env
# E.g. secret with MY_SECRET would become PREFIX_my_secret

How it works

This action uses the input in json_envs to read a JSON in key-value pairs format, and exporting all the variables one by one.
