# Docs Shared Action

A composite GitHub action that provides shared functionality for docs-related workflows. This action unifies the common patterns across documentation linting, formatting, preview link generation, and PR commenting.

## Features

- Detects changes in documentation files using `tj-actions/changed-files`
- Provides linting, style checking, and formatting for markdown files
- Generates preview links for documentation changes
- Creates or updates PR comments with preview links
- Handles special analysis of manifest.json changes
- Includes security hardening measures
- Provides detailed outputs for use in workflows

## Security Features

- Uses secure file permissions with `umask 077`
- Clears potentially harmful environment variables
- Input validation and sanitization
- Can work with harden-runner actions

## Usage

```yaml
- name: Process Documentation
id: docs-shared
uses: ./.github/actions/docs-shared
with:
github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
docs-dir: docs
include-md-files: "true"
check-links: "true"
lint-markdown: "true"
format-markdown: "true"
lint-vale: "true"
generate-preview: "true"
post-comment: "true"
pr-number: "${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}"
fail-on-error: "true"
```

## Inputs

| Input | Description | Required | Default |
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|----------|---------|
| github-token | GitHub token for API operations | Yes | - |
| docs-dir | Path to the docs directory | No | docs |
| include-md-files | Whether to include all markdown files (not just docs) | No | false |
| check-links | Whether to check links in markdown files | No | false |
| lint-markdown | Whether to lint markdown files | No | false |
| format-markdown | Whether to check markdown formatting | No | false |
| lint-vale | Whether to run Vale style checks on documentation | No | true |
| generate-preview | Whether to generate preview links | No | false |
| post-comment | Whether to post a PR comment with results | No | false |
| pr-number | PR number for commenting | No | "" |
| fail-on-error | Whether to fail the workflow on errors | No | true |

## Outputs

| Output | Description |
|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| has_changes | Boolean indicating if documentation files changed |
| changed_files | JSON array of changed documentation files |
| formatted_changed_files | Markdown-formatted list of changed files with links |
| preview_url | Documentation preview URL |
| manifest_changed | Boolean indicating if manifest.json changed |
| has_new_docs | Boolean indicating if new docs were added |
| new_docs | List of newly added docs formatted for comment |
| preview_links | List of preview links for newly added docs |
| lint_results | Results from linting |
| format_results | Results from format checking |
| link_check_results | Results from link checking |
| vale_results | Results from Vale style checks |
