Track flutter version in a file

[EduardGomezEscandell]

This also leaves the door open for tracking any other version or value we want.

How to use it

Go to tools/versions.json and append your entry:

{
    // other stuff
    "cool-version": "1.3.5",
}

To use it:

- name: Load flutter version
  id: load
  uses: ./.github/actions/load-json
  with:
    path: tools/versions.json
 
- name: My cool action
  with:
     cool-version: ${{ steps.load.outputs.data.cool-version }} 

Nested data!

You can nest keys:

{
    // other stuff
    "cool-version": {
        "windows": "1.3.5",
        "ubuntu": "1.3.6",
    }
}

then access them:

- name: My cool action
  with:
     cool-version: ${{ steps.load.outputs.data.cool-version.windows }}

Just noticed a typo.

I really enjoyed the json trick.

Contrary to Carlos, I’m not a big fan to allow the nesting trick, especially if this starts to be abuse setting version per-platform (the simplest, the better, we should just align). However, let’s see how it goes in practice, and I hope this will not going to be used.

Nicely done! I think we can at the next physicial sprint gather and propose it for our common repo!

{
    "why": {
        "would": {
            "you": {
                "not": {
                    "love": {
                        "this?"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    } 
}

😆

Agree on avoiding abusing this, but it can occasionally be useful, particularly because this action can be used to load any arbitrary data without much effort.
