# [DEPRECATED] Cloudflare Pages GitHub Action

[![No Maintenance Intended](http://unmaintained.tech/badge.svg)](http://unmaintained.tech/)

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> `pages-action` has been deprecated with the latest release being `v1.5.0`. We encourage you to migrate to [`wrangler-action`](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action), which supports Pages deployments and offers a unified tool for managing both Workers and Pages.
> Here are a few important things to keep in mind as you make the migration:
> - The YAML syntax for `wrangler-action` is different from `pages-action`. Please refer to the Pages deployment setup [instructions](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action?tab=readme-ov-file#deploy-your-pages-site-production--preview) for details.
> - `wrangler-action` currently does not provide the same outputs as `pages-action` for Pages project deployments. If your workflows depend on these outputs, you may need to make temporary adjustments. Rest assured, we’re working to bring these outputs to `wrangler-action` soon. You can track our progress in this [issue](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action/issues/300).
> - The "Deployment" feature available in `pages-action`, which lets you view a list of past deployments, is not yet available in `wrangler-action`, but we plan to add this in a future release of `wrangler-action`. You can track our progress in this [issue](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action/issues/301).
>
> We sincerely thank you for your support and contributions to `pages-action` over the years. The repository will remain **open and archived**.
>
> If you have any questions or issues, please open an [issue](https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler-action/issues) under `wrangler-action` or reach out to us directly on the [Cloudflare Developers Discord](https://discord.com/invite/cloudflaredev).

GitHub Action for creating Cloudflare Pages deployments, using the new [Direct Upload](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/direct-upload/) feature and [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/direct-upload/#wrangler-cli) integration.

## Usage

1. Create an API token in the Cloudflare dashboard with the "Cloudflare Pages — Edit" permission.
1. Add that API token as a secret to your GitHub repository, `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`.
1. Create a `.github/workflows/publish.yml` file in your repository:

   ```yml
   on: [push]

   jobs:
     publish:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       permissions:
         contents: read
         deployments: write
       name: Publish to Cloudflare Pages
       steps:
         - name: Checkout
           uses: actions/checkout@v3

         # Run a build step here if your project requires

         - name: Publish to Cloudflare Pages
           uses: cloudflare/pages-action@v1
           with:
             apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
             accountId: YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID
             projectName: YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
             directory: YOUR_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
             # Optional: Enable this if you want to have GitHub Deployments triggered
             gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
             # Optional: Switch what branch you are publishing to.
             # By default this will be the branch which triggered this workflow
             branch: main
             # Optional: Change the working directory
             workingDirectory: my-site
             # Optional: Change the Wrangler version, allows you to point to a specific version or a tag such as `beta`
             wranglerVersion: '3'
   ```

1. Replace `YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID`, `YOUR_PROJECT_NAME` and `YOUR_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` with the appropriate values to your Pages project.

### Get account ID

To find your account ID, log in to the Cloudflare dashboard > select your zone in Account Home > find your account ID in Overview under **API** on the right-side menu. If you have not added a zone, add one by selecting **Add site** . You can purchase a domain from [Cloudflare’s registrar](https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/).

If you do not have a zone registered to your account, you can also get your account ID from the `pages.dev` URL. E.g: `https://dash.cloudflare.com/<ACCOUNT_ID>/pages`

### Generate an API Token

To generate an API token:

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard.
2. Select My Profile from the dropdown menu of your user icon on the top right of your dashboard.
3. Select API Tokens > Create Token.
4. Under Custom Token, select Get started.
5. Name your API Token in the Token name field.
6. Under Permissions, select Account, Cloudflare Pages and Edit:
7. Select Continue to summary > Create Token.

More information can be found on [our guide for making Direct Upload deployments with continous integration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/use-direct-upload-with-continuous-integration/#use-github-actions).

### Specifying a branch

The branch name is used by Cloudflare Pages to determine if the deployment is production or preview. Read more about
[git branch build controls](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/branch-build-controls/#branch-build-controls).

If you are in a Git workspace, Wrangler will automatically pull the branch information for you. You can override this
manually by adding the argument `branch: YOUR_BRANCH_NAME`.

### Specifying a working directory

By default Wrangler will run in the root package directory. If your app lives in a monorepo and you want to run Wrangler from its directory, add `workingDirectory: YOUR_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY`.

### Wrangler v3

You can use the newly released [Wrangler v3](https://blog.cloudflare.com/wrangler3/) with the `wranglerVersion` property.

```yaml
  - name: Publish to Cloudflare Pages
    uses: cloudflare/pages-action@v1
    with:
      apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
      accountId: YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID
      projectName: YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
      directory: YOUR_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
      # Enable Wrangler v3
      wranglerVersion: '3'
```
