Shareableviz Action

Overview

A GitHub action which deploys your Kedro-Viz static site on GitHub pages. This action helps in the automation of a deployment startegy mentioned in platform agnostic sharing with Kedro-Viz

Prerequisites

• GitHub Pages Setup: Configure your repository for GitHub Pages.
• Kedro-project dependencies: Install all the Kedro-project dependencies before using this action in your workflow
• Python-version: You need to have an environment with python>=3.9 in your workflow

NOTE: While configuring your repository for GitHub Pages, you have two publishing source options. You can either choose a branch or a custom GitHub Actions workflow. If you choose a branch, the build artifacts will be uploaded to the publish_branch you pass as an input to the action, which defaults to gh-pages. If you choose a custom GitHub Actions workflow, you need to mention that in the input publishing_source to the action and no artifacts/branch will be created. Please find more information on configuring a publishing source for github pages site in the official docs.

Configure the action

1. Adding the GitHub Action to your workflow:

   1. Create a workflow file in your repository: .github/workflows/shareableviz.yml
   2. Add the following code to the workflow file:

       # An example workflow configuration
   
       # The name of your workflow
       name: Publish and share Kedro Viz 
       
       permissions:
           
           # The contents permission is required to use the action 
           # if your GitHub publishing source is a branch
           contents: write 
           
           # The pages and id-token permissions are required to use 
           # the action if your GitHub publishing source is a custom 
           # GitHub Actions workflow
           pages: write 
           id-token: write
       
       on: 
           # This can be configured based on your requirements 
           # (i.e., the workflow trigger condition)
           pull_request:
           push:
               branches:
                   - main
           workflow_dispatch:
   
       # We mentioned the minimal jobs for the workflow
       jobs: 
           deploy:
               # The action is currently tested on ubuntu-latest (Recommended)
               runs-on: ubuntu-latest 
               steps:
                   - name: Fetch the repository
                     uses: actions/checkout@v4
                   - name: Set up Python
                     uses: actions/setup-python@v5
                     with:
                       # Requires python >= 3.9
                       python-version: 3.11 
                     # This installs the Kedro-project dependencies
                   - name: Install Project Dependencies
                     run: |
                       python -m pip install --upgrade pip
                       # This is not required if your Kedro Project 
                       # is at the root of your GitHub Repository
                       cd demo-project 
                       pip install -r requirements.txt
                     # Using the action
                   - name: Deploy Kedro-Viz to GH Pages 
                     uses: ravi-kumar-pilla/shareableviz-action@v1
                     with:
                       # This is not required if your Kedro Project 
                       # is at the root of your GitHub Repository
                       project_path: 'demo-project'     

Test the action

After you've completed the configuration, trigger the workflow as per the workflow trigger condition.

• The GitHub workflow Publish and share Kedro Viz should start. You can find it in the Actions tab with your commit message.
• Once the workflow is successfully completed, the artifacts of your Kedro-Viz static site will be uploaded to the publish-branch input specified to the action if your GitHub pages publishing source is branch.
• If your GitHub pages publishing source is a custom GitHub Actions workflow, you need to select the above workflow .github/workflows/shareableviz.yml as the source.
• You can access the static site at http://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>
