How to Use Node.JS and .NET Together in GitHub Actions: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're developing a JavaScript API for a .NET project, you might find yourself needing both the Node.JS environment and .NET Core installed and configured in the same GitHub Actions job. This can be quite challenging if you're not familiar with the tooling and configuration. Fortunately, it's completely possible to achieve this setup with the use of matrix builds in GitHub Actions.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to configure your GitHub Actions YAML file to create a seamless integration between Node.JS and .NET.

Understanding the Problem

Firstly, GitHub Actions allows for the automation of workflows by specifying a series of jobs that can run on triggers such as a push or a pull request. In your case, you want to set up a Continuous Integration (CI) process that runs tests and builds for both Node.JS and .NET.

Your Initial YAML Configuration

You provided an initial YAML configuration for a Node.JS job:

While this configuration runs well for Node.JS, it lacks the setup for .NET.

Solution: Integrating Both Node.JS and .NET

The good news is that GitHub Actions supports multiple matrix arguments, which enables you to define multiple environments for your jobs. Here’s how to modify your existing configuration to include both Node.JS and .NET.

Updated YAML Configuration

Here is the enhanced YAML configuration that integrates both Node.JS and .NET:

Breakdown of the Changes

Matrix Configuration:

Added a dotnet array to the strategy.matrix section.

This allows simultaneous setup for various Node.JS and .NET versions.

Steps for Setting Up DotNet:

Introduced a new step to set up .NET using the action actions/setup-dotnet@ v1.

This ensures that the correct version of .NET is installed for each run.

Build and Test Commands:

After running the Node.JS build and tests, the script proceeds with dotnet build for your project, ensuring both environments are utilized together efficiently.

Conclusion

Incorporating Node.JS and .NET in the same GitHub Actions job is not just possible but relatively straightforward with the use of matrix builds. By following the updated YAML configuration shared in this post, you’ll be able to automate your workflow effectively, making your CI/CD process smoother and more efficient.

With this configuration, you can run both your JavaScript API and .NET application seamlessly, enabling a modern development workflow that leverages the strengths of both environments.

Happy coding!
