setup-depjs

Set up dep — a little Node.js dependency installer for module end-users — in your GitHub Actions workflow.

The action installs dep globally and adds it to PATH, so every later step can run dep install, dep lock, and dep run.

Usage

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
    with:
      node-version: 22
  - uses: depjs/setup-depjs@v1
  - run: dep install
  - run: dep run test

dep requires Node.js >=20.19.0, so run actions/setup-node first (or rely on the runner's default Node.js if it is new enough).

Pinning a version

  - uses: depjs/setup-depjs@v1
    with:
      dep-version: 1.5.2

dep-version accepts anything npm install does: an exact version (1.5.2), a semver range (^1.5.0), or a dist-tag (latest).

Inputs

Name	Description	Default
dep-version	Version of dep to install (version, range, tag)	latest

Outputs

Name	Description
dep-version	The version of dep that was installed

  - uses: depjs/setup-depjs@v1
    id: setup-dep
  - run: echo "Installed dep ${{ steps.setup-dep.outputs.dep-version }}"

Supported runners

Linux, macOS, and Windows runners are all supported.
