This action sets the current ISO8601 time to the time output and also provides readableTime, formattedTime, and many more digital outputs like year, day, second, etc. Useful for setting build times in subsequent steps, renaming your artifact, or keeping the same recorded time for the entire workflow.

You can view some typical input/output in the action.test.js file.

Time format to use - using MomentJS format syntax - optional

UTC offset to use - using MomentJS utcOffset syntax - optional

Timezone to use - check moment-timezone list - optional, if set, utcOffset will be ignored, e.g. "America/Los_Angeles"

The ISO time this action was run, not affected by the parameter utcOffset e.g. '2020-01-01T00:30:15.000Z'

Same as time

Human-friendly time - affected by the parameter utcOffset e.g. 'Wed Jan 01 2020 08:30:15 GMT+0800'

The time this action was run - formatted using format and utcOffset inputs

Digital outputs, just as names

steps:
  - name: Get current time
    uses: josStorer/get-current-time@v2
    id: current-time
    with:
      format: YYYYMMDD-HH
      utcOffset: "+08:00"
  - name: Use current time
    env:
      TIME: "${{ steps.current-time.outputs.time }}"
      R_TIME: "${{ steps.current-time.outputs.readableTime }}"
      F_TIME: "${{ steps.current-time.outputs.formattedTime }}"
      YEAR: "${{ steps.current-time.outputs.year }}"
      DAY: "${{ steps.current-time.outputs.day }}"
    run: echo $TIME $R_TIME $F_TIME $YEAR $DAY

npm install

npm start

And you'll see the index.js is generated in the dist folder

npm test

And you'll see the console output as following:

PASS ./action.test.js
