ng-update

A Github Action that keeps your Angular CLI-based projects up-to-date via automated pull requests.

The action automatically runs ng update for you, updates @angular related dependencies and files, and creates/updates a PR with the changes. You just have to merge the created PR back into your codebase, once ready.

Usage

To get started, create a workflow under .github/workflows/ folder (eg: .github/workflows/ng-update.yml), with the following content:

name: "Update Angular Action"
on: # when the action should run. Can also be a CRON or in response to external events. see https://git.io/JeBz1
  push

jobs:
  ngxUptodate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Updating ng dependencies # the magic happens here !
        uses: fast-facts/ng-update@v1
        with:
          repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

See action.yml for complete list of options you can customize. See Creating a Workflow file for more informations about writing workflows.

Outputs

When the action successfully runs, it produces the following outputs, that you can use them in further steps in your workflow:

• pr-number: the number of the PR that have been created on Github
• ng-update-result : an array of PackageToUpdate, that summarizes the packages that have been updated.
