Introduction

This guide explains how to use {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to build, test, and deploy a Node.js project to Azure App Service.

{% ifversion fpt or ghec or ghes > 3.4 %}

Prerequisites

Before creating your {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow, you will first need to complete the following setup steps:

{% data reusables.actions.create-azure-app-plan %}

2. Create a web app.

   For example, you can use the Azure CLI to create an Azure App Service web app with a Node.js runtime:

   az webapp create \
       --name MY_WEBAPP_NAME \
       --plan MY_APP_SERVICE_PLAN \
       --resource-group MY_RESOURCE_GROUP \
       --runtime "NODE|14-lts"
   

   In the command above, replace the parameters with your own values, where MY_WEBAPP_NAME is a new name for the web app.

{% data reusables.actions.create-azure-publish-profile %}

5. Optionally, configure a deployment environment. {% data reusables.actions.about-environments %}

Creating the workflow

Once you've completed the prerequisites, you can proceed with creating the workflow.

The following example workflow demonstrates how to build, test, and deploy the Node.js project to Azure App Service when there is a push to the main branch.

Ensure that you set AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME in the workflow env key to the name of the web app you created. If the path to your project is not the repository root, change AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH to your project path. If you use a version of Node.js other than 10.x, change NODE_VERSION to the version that you use.

Additional resources

The following resources may also be useful:

• For the original starter workflow, see azure-webapps-node.yml in the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} starter-workflows repository.
• The action used to deploy the web app is the official Azure Azure/webapps-deploy action.
• For more examples of GitHub Action workflows that deploy to Azure, see the actions-workflow-samples repository.
• The "Create a Node.js web app in Azure" quickstart in the Azure web app documentation demonstrates using {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} with the Azure App Service extension.
