gh-actions-webapp-demo

Example implementation of Node + Express JS webapp setup that utilizes GitHub actions to build and test the project, using Docker for containerization.

Workflow

The pipeline has three main stages:

1. Checkout repo and set up node.js + dependencies
2. Build the docker image
3. Run tests via npm test on the built image
4. If successful, push the docker image

Usage

The associated GH actions workflow manages building and pushing a new docker container on each push of the release/* branch in accordance with git flow.

You can clone the repo, then set the below secret values:

• DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME = name of image to push (it will tag with the commit SHA)
• DOCKER_USERNAME = your dockerhub username
• DOCKER_TOKEN = PAT for dockerhub
