This GitHub Action checks if a specified file and/or its imports tree have changed in the most recent commit. It is useful for workflows that need to conditionally run steps based on whether a file was modified.

• file-path(mandatory): The path to the file that you want to check for changes. This path is relative to the root of the repository.

• tsConfigPath(optional): The path to the tsconfig file if there are any paths.

• dependencyChanged: A boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the specified file was changed in the commit.

Below is an example of how to use the File Change Checker Action in a workflow. This workflow triggers on push events and uses the action to check if a file named example.ts has changed. Based on the output, it conditionally runs further steps.

name: Example Workflow

on: [push]

jobs:
  check-file-change:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Check if example.txt changed
        id: file-check
        uses: HasanHajHasan/dependency-checker@v0.0.6
        with:
          file-path: 'example.ts'

      - name: Conditional step based on file change
        if: steps.file-check.outputs.dependencyChanged == 'true'
        run: echo "example.ts has changed."
