This GitHub Action retrieves the package version from the package.json file and sets the version in the current-version output value usable in your workflow file.

Example

To use this action in your project, use the following:

- name: get-npm-version
  id: package-version
  uses: martinbeentjes/npm-get-version-action@master

The Action sets an output variable called current-version which can be used in a following step by using ${{ steps.package-version.outputs.current-version}}.

If you are using a monorepo or otherwise have some packages in a subdirectory of your repo, add the path to the package.json as a parameter:

- name: get-npm-version
  id: package-version
  uses: martinbeentjes/npm-get-version-action@master
  with:
    path: packages/<yourpackage>
