## Introduction

This GitHub Action simplifies the deployment process to Render. It allows you to trigger deployments automatically on pushes, pull requests, or scheduled workflows.

## Usage

### Prerequisites

1. **Disable Auto-Deploy:** In your Render app settings, go to `Settings > Build and Deploy > Auto-Deploy` and disable it. This action will handle deployments.
2. **Set Secrets:** In your repository's `Settings > Secrets and Variables > Actions`, create the following secrets:
   - `RENDER_SERVICE_ID`: Your Render service ID (found in the service page).
   - `RENDER_API_KEY`: Your Render API key (generated in your Render `Account Settings > API Keys`).
3. **(Optional) GitHub Token:** If using `github_deployment: true`, you'll need the `GITHUB_TOKEN` secret (automatically provided by GitHub Actions). Ensure your workflow has the `deployments: write` permission.

### Minimal Example

This is the simplest way to use the action. It triggers a deployment using the secrets you configured.

```yaml
deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - uses: JorgeLNJunior/render-deploy@v1.5.0
      with:
        service_id: ${{ secrets.RENDER_SERVICE_ID }}
        api_key: ${{ secrets.RENDER_API_KEY }}
```

### Waiting for Deployment Status

If you want the GitHub Action to wait until the Render deployment is complete (success or failure) before finishing, set `wait_deploy` to `true`.

### Creating a GitHub Deployment

This option creates a [GitHub Deployment](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/deployments/deployments) in your repository, which shows up in the "Environments" section of your repo. It tracks the deployment status and links to the deployed environment.

```yaml
deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  permissions:
    deployments: write
  steps:
    - uses: JorgeLNJunior/render-deploy@v1.5.0
      with:
        service_id: ${{ secrets.RENDER_SERVICE_ID }}
        api_key: ${{ secrets.RENDER_API_KEY }}
        github_deployment: true
        deployment_environment: 'production' # e.g., production, staging
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```

### Deploying a Specific Reference

You can deploy a specific branch, tag, or commit SHA using the `ref` input.

```yaml
deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
    - uses: JorgeLNJunior/render-deploy@v1.5.0
      with:
        service_id: ${{ secrets.RENDER_SERVICE_ID }}
        api_key: ${{ secrets.RENDER_API_KEY }}
        ref: 'feat/my-feature-branch' # or a tag like 'v1.0.0', or a full commit SHA
```

**Note:** If you are deploying a ref in a **private repository**, you must also provide the `github_token` and the proper permissions so the action can resolve the reference to a specific commit SHA using the GitHub API.

```yaml
deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  permissions:
    contents: read # Required for private repos
  steps:
    - uses: JorgeLNJunior/render-deploy@v1.5.0
      with:
        service_id: ${{ secrets.RENDER_SERVICE_ID }}
        api_key: ${{ secrets.RENDER_API_KEY }}
        ref: 'feat/my-feature-branch'
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # Required for private repos
```

### Full Example

You can also combine all the options: clear build cache, wait for deployment, deploy a specific ref and create a GitHub deployment status.

```yaml
deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  permissions:
    deployments: write
    contents: read
  steps:
    - uses: JorgeLNJunior/render-deploy@v1.5.0
      with:
        service_id: ${{ secrets.RENDER_SERVICE_ID }}
        api_key: ${{ secrets.RENDER_API_KEY }}
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        ref: 'feat/new-feature'
        clear_cache: true
        wait_deploy: true
        github_deployment: true
        deployment_environment: 'production'
```
