Constructors

Constructor

new App(options?: object): App

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	{ header?: string | null; lockfile?: string | null; root?: string; transforms?: readonly Transform[]; }	‐
options.header?	string | null	Custom header comment template for generated files. May contain {variable} placeholders — see the emitter’s HEADER_VARIABLES. Set to null to keep the ghagen default; set to undefined to use the default.
options.lockfile?	string | null	Path to the pin lockfile, relative to root. Set to null to disable lockfile auto-loading. Defaults to .ghagen.lock.yml.
options.root?	string	Repository root directory. All registered output paths and the lockfile are resolved relative to this. Defaults to process.cwd().
options.transforms?	readonly Transform[]	Additional model transforms to apply during synthesis. The pin transform is auto-registered when a lockfile is present; these are appended after it.

Returns

App

Properties

Methods

add()

add(item: SynthItem, path: string): void

Register an item at an explicit path relative to root.

Use this escape hatch when you need to write to a path that doesn’t fit the standard conventions. For the common cases, prefer addWorkflow() / addAction().

Parameters

Parameter	Type
item	SynthItem
path	string

Returns

void

---

addAction()

addAction(action: ActionModel, dir?: string): void

Register an action, writing {dir}/action.yml (defaults to repo root).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
action	ActionModel	undefined
dir	string	"."

Returns

void

---

addWorkflow()

addWorkflow(workflow: WorkflowModel, filename: string): void

Register a workflow at .github/workflows/{filename}.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
workflow	WorkflowModel
filename	string

Returns

void

---

check()

check(): Promise<[string, string][]>

Check whether the on-disk YAML matches what synth() would write.

Returns one [path, diff] tuple for each file that’s stale or missing. An empty list means everything is in sync.

Returns

Promise<[string, string][]>

---

synth()

synth(): Promise<string[]>

Synthesize all registered items to YAML files.

Returns the absolute paths of every file written. Asynchronous so we have room to add async transforms in the future without breaking the API.

Returns

Promise<string[]>
