# CMake Action
Configure and build your [CMake](https://cmake.org/) project using [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions). This action simplifies the workflow for configuring the build environment of a CMake project. It can also be optionally specified to build a CMake project using the `cmake --build` command.
## Features
- Configures a CMake project using the [`cmake`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) command.
- Optionally builds a CMake project using the `cmake --build` command.
- Supports specifying multiple CMake options directly from the action inputs.
## Usage
For more information, refer to [action.yml](./action.yml) and the [GitHub Actions guide](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions).
### Inputs
| Name | Value Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `source-dir` | Path | The source directory of the CMake project. It defaults to the current directory. |
| `build-dir` | Path | The build directory of the CMake project. It defaults to the `build` directory inside the source directory. |
| `generator` | String | The build system generator for the CMake project. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with `-G [val]`. |
| `c-compiler` | String | The preferred executable for compiling C language files. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with `-D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=[val]`. |
| `cxx-compiler` | String | The preferred executable for compiling C++ language files. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with `-D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=[val]`. |
| `c-flags` | Multiple strings | Additional flags to pass when compiling C language files. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with `-D CMAKE_C_FLAGS=[vals]`. |
| `cxx-flags` | Multiple strings | Additional flags to pass when compiling C++ language files. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with `-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=[vals]`. |
| `options` | Multiple strings | Additional options to pass during the CMake configuration. It appends the CMake configuration arguments with each of `-D [val]`. |
| `args` | Multiple strings | Additional arguments to pass during the CMake configuration. |
| `run-build` | `true` or `false` | If enabled, it builds the project using CMake. It defaults to `true`. |
| `build-args` | Multiple strings | Additional arguments to pass during the CMake build. |
> **Note**: Multiple strings mean that the input can be specified with more than one value. Separate each value with a space or a new line.
> **Note**: All inputs are optional.
### Outputs
| Name | Value Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `build-dir` | Path | The build directory of the CMake project. |
### Examples
```yaml
name: Build
on:
push:
jobs:
build-project:
name: Build Project
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4.1.7
- name: Configure and Build Project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@main
```
> **Note**: You can replace `main` with any version you prefer. See [this](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsuses).
#### Configure Project Without Building
```yaml
- name: Configure Project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@main
with:
run-build: false
```
#### Specify the Source and Build Directories
```yaml
- name: Configure and Build Project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@main
with:
source-dir: submodules
build-dir: submodules/out
```
#### Using Ninja as the Generator and Clang as the Compiler
```yaml
- name: Setup Ninja
uses: seanmiddleditch/gha-setup-ninja@v4
- name: Configure and Build Project
uses: threeal/cmake-action@main
with:
generator: Ninja
c-compiler: clang
cxx-compiler: clang++
```
