Builders

Actions Kit makes building your actions a breeze with its powerful set of builders. Each builder leverages a specific bundler to package your action, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.

Available Builders

• ESBuild - Lightning-fast builds with ESBuild.
• Rolldown - Simplified builds using Rolldown.
• Rollup - Modular builds with Rollup.
• Rspack - Efficient builds using Rspack.
• Vite - Next-generation builds with Vite.
• Webpack - Comprehensive builds using Webpack.

Customizing Your Builder

Tailor your build process by passing options directly into the builder function. For instance, to switch to the Rollup builder, update your actions-kit.config.ts file like this:

import { defineConfig } from "actions-kit/config";
import rollup from "@actions-sdk/rollup-builder";

export default defineConfig({
  builder: rollup({
    // Customize Rollup options here
  }),
});

Building your own Builder

Creating your own builder allows you to fully customize the build process. Here's how you can do it:

First, you'll need to install Actions Kit:

pnpm

pnpm add actions-kit

yarn

yarn add actions-kit

npm

npm install actions-kit

bun

bun install actions-kit

Next, create a builder directory and an index.ts file within it. In this file, you'll import the necessary modules from actions-kit/builder and actions-kit/builder-utils:

custom-builder.ts

import type { Builder } from 'actions-kit/builder';
import { inferOutputFilename } from 'actions-kit/builder-utils';

const customBuilder: Builder = {
  name: 'custom-builder',
  build: async (options) => {
    return [];
  },
};

export default customBuilder;

Finally, configure your custom builder in the actions-kit.config.ts file:

actions-kit.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'actions-kit/config';
import customBuilder from './custom-builder';

export default defineConfig({
  builder: customBuilder,
});

With these steps, you can create and configure your own custom builder, giving you complete control over the build process.
