Messagevisor

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is a natural fit for Messagevisor because the workflow is already Git-based.

Basic validate-and-build workflow

.github/workflows/messagevisor.yml
name: Messagevisor
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  validate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npx messagevisor lint
      - run: npx messagevisor test
      - run: npx messagevisor build --showSize

Upload datafiles as artifacts

.github/workflows/messagevisor.yml
      - run: npx messagevisor build
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: datafiles
          path: datafiles/

Sets-based deployment workflow

For projects using sets, a full staging-to-production promote and build might look like:

.github/workflows/messagevisor-deploy.yml
name: Messagevisor deploy
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 20
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npx messagevisor lint --set=production
      - run: npx messagevisor test --set=production
      - run: npx messagevisor build --set=production
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: production-datafiles
          path: datafiles/
