Once upon a time there was a Denosaur...
Welcome gentl-octocats, today I wanted to create a Github Action to use IFTTT Webhooks and i know that all i need will be a simple curl in any Linux container, but, I'm a developer, and i like to try new thinks. And at the moment of the writing what is the hottest news in the Javascript environment?
You guess right! Deno.
So let's start building a github action with a Deno runner.
The image of the Denosaur
First of all we need an image with Deno, and after a simple research i have found hayd/alpine-deno:1.1.0.
So let's start writing the Dockerfile
FROM hayd/alpine-deno:1.1.0 WORKDIR /app # Prefer not to run as root. USER deno # These steps will be re-run upon each file change in your working directory: ADD . . # Compile the main app so that it doesn't need to be compiled each startup/entry. RUN deno cache main.ts CMD ["run", "--allow-net", "--allow-env", "/app/main.ts"] Using the Denosaur
The actions it's a simple ts file how will fetch a request to the webhook like this
const input = (key: string) => Deno.env.get(`INPUT_${key}`); const eventName = input('EVENT'); const key = input('KEY'); const value1 = input('VALUE1'); const value2 = input('VALUE2'); const value3 = input('VALUE3'); console.log(`calling webhook for ${eventName} with`, value1, value2, value3); await fetch(`https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/${eventName}/with/key/${key}`, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify({ value1, value2, value3 }), }); The Octocat Action
End last but not least the github action definition
# action.yml name: 'IFTTT Webhook' description: 'Call an IFTTT Webhook' inputs: event: # id of input description: 'IFTTT webhook event' required: true key: description: 'IFTTT webhook key' required: true value1: description: 'IFTTT webhook optional parameter' required: false value2: description: 'IFTTT webhook optional parameter' required: false value3: description: 'IFTTT webhook optional parameter' required: false runs: using: 'docker' image: 'Dockerfile' End of the story
And at the end of the story, in only 5 minutes I have made ifttt-webhook-action using Deno.

Nice one!
