Run JS build tasks with Gulp, Grunt or NPM.

Perfect for Grunt tasks that do CSS (or SASS/LESS) compilation or JavaScript transpilation.

• build (elstudio/actions-js-build/build@v4): Looks for a gulpfile.js or Gruntfile.js in the working directory, then installs any required npm packages and runs the build tool. If it finds neither gulp or grunt, the script runs npm. Set the workflow args arguments to run the tasks of your choice.

This Action for npm installs any required npm packages, then installs and runs any installed JavaScript build tools -- currently either Gulp or Grunt.

An example workflow to run the grunt default task to build, test. The second action commits and pushes any changes back to the GitHub origin repository:

name: Grunt build and commit updated stylesheets

on: [push]

jobs:
  grunt-build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: 12
    - name: Compile with Grunt
      uses: elstudio/actions-js-build/build@v4
      with:
        wdPath: './web/themes/nw8'

    - name: Commit changes
      uses: elstudio/actions-js-build/commit@v4
      with:
        commitMessage: Regenerate css 

• wdPath - Optional. To specify a directory other than the repository root where NPM's Package.json and either gulpfile.js or Gruntfile.js may be found.
