# Confluence Markdown Sync Action

This Github Action serves the purpose of copying the contents of a Markdown `.md` file to a Confluence Cloud Page.

## Getting Started

```yml
# .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml
on: [push]

jobs:
  dev:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: cupcakearmy/confluence-markdown-sync
        with:
          from: './README.md'
          to: '123456' # The confluence page id where to write the output
          cloud: <my-confluence-cloud-id>
          user: <my.user@example.org>
          token: <my-token>
```

- `user`: The user that generated the access token
- `token`: You can generate the token [here](https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens). Link to [Docs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html)

- `to`: The page ID can be found by simply navigating to the page where you want the content to be postet to and looke at the url. It will look something like this: `https://<cloud-id>.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/<space>/pages/<page-id>/<title>`

### Using secrets

It's **higly reccomended** that you use secrets!

To use them you need them to specify them before in your repo. [Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets)

The you can use them in any input field.

```yml
# .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml
# ...
token: ${{ secrets.token }}
```

## Development

1. Clone the repo
2. Install [act](https://github.com/nektos/act)
3. Create the same config in the repo folder as in the getting started section above.
4. Change `uses: cupcakearmy/confluence-markdown-sync` -> `uses: ./`
5. Create an example markdown file `Some.md` and set it in the config `from: './Some.md'`
6. Run locally `act -b`

### With secrets

You can simply create a `.secrets` file and specify it to `act`.

```
TOKEN=abc123
```

```yml
# .github/workflows/dev.yml
# ...
token: ${{ secrets.token }}
```

```bash
act -b --secret-file .secrets
```
