Get Selected

This action returns a list with the names of selected checkboxes from the input of a workflow_dispatch event. It supports the use of custom separator strings and an ignore list, which will be ignored from the output.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use this action in a workflow file:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs: # Example inputs
      api:
        type: boolean
      worker1:
        type: boolean
      worker2:
        type: boolean

jobs:
  get-selected:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - id: get-selected-step
        uses: joao-zanutto/[email protected]

      - run: echo ${{ steps.get-selected-step.outputs.selected }}
