Insert JSON BigQuery Action

A Github JavaScript action to insert a supplied JSON to a BigQuery Table.

Usage

You can consume this action by referencing the v1 branch

    steps:
      - name: Upload Report to BigQuery
        uses: autotelic/insert-json-bigquery-action@v1
        with:
          projectId: gcp-project-id
          datasetId: gcp-dataset-id
          tableId: gcp-table-id
          jsonFilePath: ./path/to/data.json

All inputs are required and the calling workflow must be authenticated with GCP. See GCP Authentication

Input	Required	Description
projectId	true	The target BigQuery project id
datasetId	true	The target BigQuery dataset id
tableId	true	The target BigQuery table id
jsonFilePath	true	Path and filename of the JSON file to insert

GCP Authentication

Note: The risk-engine-upload-hotspot-bigquery-action requires authentication with GCP prior to execution. The google-github-actions/auth action can be used to authenticate.

This action must be supplied with a credentials_json Github secret which contains a json credential file for a GCP service account with sufficient access to the target project, dataset, and table.

e.g.

    steps:
      - name: Authenticate with GCP
        id: auth
        uses: google-github-actions/auth@v1
        with:
          credentials_json: '${{ secrets.GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS }}'

Local Development

Install the dependencies

npm install

Package for distribution

GitHub Actions will run the entry point from the action.yml. Packaging assembles the code into one file that can be checked in to Git, enabling fast and reliable execution and preventing the need to check in node_modules.

Actions are run from GitHub repos. Packaging the action will create a packaged action in the dist folder.

Run prepare

npm run prepare

Since the packaged index.js is run from the dist folder.

git add dist

Create a release branch

Users shouldn't consume the action from main since that would be latest code and actions can break compatibility between major versions.

Checkout to the v1 release branch

git checkout -b v1
git commit -a -m "v1 release"

git push origin v1
