A github action to output a random chuck norris quote within a wokflow. Supports text or html output.

For example:

Chuck Norris's keyboard doesn't have a Ctrl key because nothing controls Chuck Norris.

This is a very simple, lighthearted addition to your workflow. It is very quick, and using the default options, outputs a Chuck Norris quote to yourr workflow logs. You can optionally capture the tag as an action output and place that quote anywhere you like such as within a readme, as part of creating an issue, anything you like.

Note: Quotes of an explicit nature have been specifically excluded as part of the quote generation and there is currently no support to enable this.

• quote-format: html/text. Default is text
  • Format to return the quote in.
• escape-quote : true/false. Default is false.
  • Deterrmines whether the quote should be escaped which just means it will escape the single quote character which can cause problems when outputting the text quote in some scenarios such as using in echo statements"

If you want to fork and make modifications to this action, simply edit the associated JS files to suit. Then to build, you will need to install NCC and build the main.js file into the dist/index.js folder/file. This will build a single JS file and include any dependencies, thuis removing the need to include the node_modules folder as part of your action.

npm install -g @zeit/ncc

When you use ncc:

ncc build .\main.js -o . -m

or

build.cmd

This creates the /index.js file which includes all the necessary dependencies aggregated into one file.
