Breaking Changes

There are a couple of major improvements that are unfortunately breaking changes:

tools.context.issue returns a different object

Thanks to @mheap, tools.context.issue now returns { owner, repo, issue_number } instead of { owner, repo, number }. This is due to a change in the Octokit SDK. To have parity with pull requests, there is now also tools.context.pullRequest, which returns { owner, repo, pull_number }.

See #118 for more information!

Toolkit#getFile is now Toolkit#readFile

The getFile method has been renamed to readFile, and the behavior has changed. It now uses fs.promises.readFile under the hood, so it returns a promise:

const tools = new Toolkit({ ... })
const contents = await tools.readFile('README.md')

See #121 for more information!

tools.store has been removed

This feature was added before the Actions runtime had a way to share data between actions. That now exists in the platform, as "outputs"! See #125 for the removal of Store, and #120 for it's "replacement", tools.outputs (thanks to @abouroubi ✨):

tools.outputs.example = 'foo'

Toolkit#runInWorkspace is now Toolkit#exec

This method was useful, but @actions/exec is built more with the Actions runner in mind. So, now Toolkit#exec calls @actions/exec! This will be more stable for the finicky, ephemeral environments of Actions.

See #123 for more information!
