Azure Data Factory Export Action

GitHub Action that exports all the Azure Data Factory resources stored in your Git repository to an ARM Template using the Azure Data Factory utilities package.

When to use

The action is particularly useful on deployment scenarios, where a step can be added in a workflow to generate a Data Factory ARM template from a Git repository branch and then use it as the source for an ARM template deployment.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Ensure your Data Factory is connected with a Git repository. For more info, see Connect to a Git repository and Bicep & ARM Template formats.

2. Ensure the following package.json file exists in the same directory that contains your Data Factory resources in the Git repository:

   {
     "scripts":{
       "build":"node node_modules/@microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities/lib/index"
     },
     "dependencies":{
       "@microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities":"^0.1.5"
     }
   }

Example Usage

steps:
  - name: Export ARM Template
    id: export
    uses: Azure/[email protected]
    # with:
    #   path: ./mydir [optional]
    #   id: <data factory resource ID> [optional]

  - name: Publish ARM template
    uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
    with:
      name: my-artifact
      path: ${{ steps.export.outputs.arm-template-directory }}
      if-no-files-found: error

Note: The action creates an armTemplate subdirectory dynamically and exports the ARM Template (ARMTemplateForFactory.json) inside it.

Inputs

• path (optional): Directory that contains all Data Factory resources. Defaults to ./ directory.

• id (optional): Data Factory resource ID. Defaults to /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/resourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/dataFactory.

Outputs

• arm-template-directory: Directory where the generated ARM template is stored.
