GitHub Action that installs .NET nanoFramework build components

This action installs .NET nanoFramework build components required to build projects and solutions in GitHub Actions.

It doesn't require any configurations, simply installs the components.

Example usage

Install .NET nanoFramework build components as part of a GitHub Action building a project/solution.

- uses: nanoframework/nanobuild@v1

Authenticated usage

Requests to the GitHub API can be authenticated by providing a token through the gitHubAuth input. The action surfaces this value to the installer script as the GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. This helps when you need to perform authenticated requests or to stay within the GitHub API rate limits. Example:

- uses: nanoframework/nanobuild@v1
  with:
    gitHubAuth: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

If you already have a personal access token stored in another secret (for example secrets.NF_GH_PAT), reference that secret instead.

Installing preview version

By default the action fetches the latest official release of the Visual Studio extension from the GitHub repository. Set the optional usePreview input (boolean) to true when you prefer the preview build sourced from the Open VSIX Gallery instead. Example:

- uses: nanoframework/nanobuild@v1
  with:
    usePreview: true
