A GitHub Action to parse string inputs using different delimiters and provide dynamic input to job matrix.

This GitHub Action takes a string input and parses it using a specified delimiter. The parsed output can be used to set up job matrices for running steps/jobs in parallel.

Below is an example of how to use the Parse Inputs GitHub Action in your workflow:

name: Example Workflow using Parse Inputs Action

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  parse-input:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Parse input values
        id: parse
        uses: samirsilwal/[email protected]
        with:
          value: 'item1,item2,item3'
          delimiter: ','

      - name: Display parsed values
        run: echo "Parsed values are: ${{ steps.parse.outputs.parsed }}"

      - name: Check if output is empty
        run: echo "Is parsed output empty? ${{ steps.parse.outputs.is-empty }}"

• value : The input string is item1,item2,item3, which will be parsed using the delimiter specified.
• delimiter : This example uses a comma , as the delimiter, but you can specify any character.
• The output parsed will contain the list of items (item1, item2, item3) that can be used in other steps or jobs.
• The is-empty output will indicate if the parsed output is empty.

• If the ALL or all value is passed to the value input, the action will return the value set in run-all-default-values.
• This action is useful for creating dynamic job matrices in your workflows.
