Running your script in a workflow

- name: Checkout repository
  uses: actions/checkout@v3

  # Perform setup if called without a 'function'. Compiles your Typescript
  # module and caches build results with actions/cache.
- name: Setup TypeScript scripts
  id: github-script-ts
  uses: urcomputeringpal/github-script-ts@v0
  # with:
  #     path: ./.github
  #     build: npm run build
  #     dist: dist

  # Run function1. If it returns a value it can be used in subsequent steps
  # by accessing the `result` output of the step like so
  # ${{ steps.function1.outputs.result }}
- name: Run function1
  id: function1
  uses: urcomputeringpal/github-script-ts@v0
  # You can pass environment variables to your script and then
  # read them from process.env.
  # https://github.com/actions/github-script/#use-env-as-input
  env:
      FOO: bar
  with:
      github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      function: function1
      # args: >
      #   {github, context, core, exec, io, fetch}

- name: Use function1 result
  run: |
      echo "function1 result: ${{ steps.function1.outputs.result }}"

  # You can also use actions/github-script and import your module
  # from the path specified in the `github-script-ts` step. This allows
  # setting multiple outputs values using core.setOutput.
