actions-techdocs

Github Action for Backstage's techdocs plugin from Spotify.

What does it do?

It scans the whole repository for the following files:

  • mkdocs.yaml
  • catalog-info.yaml

The action has two commands:

  • check - runs mkdocs build in all directories containing mkdocs.yaml and checks for any warnings or errors in the output
  • publish - runs techdocs publish in all directories containing catalog-info.yaml and mkdocs.yaml (the catalog file is used to extract kind/namespace/name of entity)

Usage

jobs:
  techdocs:
    name: Check & Publish
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      # Runs mkdocs check in all directories containing **/mkdocs.yaml file
      - name: Run mkdocs check
        uses: TwistoPayments/actions-techdocs@main
        with:
          command: check

      # Runs techdocs generate and techdocs publish commands in all directories containgin
      # **/mkdocs.yaml file. Currently only S3 publisher is supported.
      - name: Run techdocs publish
        uses: TwistoPayments/actions-techdocs@main
        with:
          command: publish
        env:
          TECHDOCS_PUBLISHER_TYPE: awsS3
          TECHDOCS_S3_BUCKET_NAME: ${{ secrets.TECHDOCS_S3_BUCKET_NAME }}
          AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
          AWS_REGION: ${{ secrets.AWS_REGION }}

Alternatively, you can pull image from Docker Hub which will be faster as you won't need to build the image each time, just replace

        uses: TwistoPayments/actions-techdocs@main
        with:
          command: <check/publish>

with

        uses: docker://twistopayments/actions-techdocs:main
        with:
          args: <check/publish>
