Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) workflows by configuring the Capawesome npm registry. This guide shows you how to set up authentication to access the private packages from the Capawesome Insiders program. ## Preparation[ΒΆ](#preparation "Permanent link") ### Create a GitHub Secret[ΒΆ](#create-a-github-secret "Permanent link") [Get your license key](/docs/insiders/faq/#where-can-i-find-my-license-key) and add it to your GitHub repository as an encrypted secret with the name `CAPAWESOME_NPM_REGISTRY_TOKEN` as described in [Creating encrypted secrets for a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository). Keep your license key secure Never commit your license key directly to your repository and always use environment variables to store sensitive information like authentication tokens. ## Workflow Configuration[ΒΆ](#workflow-configuration "Permanent link") ### Configure the npm registry[ΒΆ](#configure-the-npm-registry "Permanent link") Add the following step to your GitHub Actions workflow **before** installing npm dependencies: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)- name: Configure the Capawesome npm registry [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-2) run: | [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-3) echo "@capawesome-team:registry=https://npm.registry.capawesome.io" >> .npmrc [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-4) echo "//npm.registry.capawesome.io/:_authToken=${{ secrets.CAPAWESOME_NPM_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}" >> .npmrc ` This will automatically configure npm to use the Capawesome registry for `@capawesome-team` packages during GitHub Actions builds. ### Example[ΒΆ](#example "Permanent link") Here's a complete example of a GitHub Actions workflow that builds an Ionic app using private Capawesome packages: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)name: Build App [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-2) [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-3)on: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-4) push: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-5) branches: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-6) - main [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-7) pull_request: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-8) branches: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-9) - main [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-10) [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-11)jobs: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-12) build: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-13) runs-on: ubuntu-latest [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-14) steps: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-15) - name: Checkout [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-16) uses: actions/checkout@v4 [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-17) - name: Set up Node.js 20 [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-18) uses: actions/setup-node@v4 [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-19) with: [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-20) node-version: 20 [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-21) - name: Configure the Capawesome npm registry [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-22) run: | [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-23) echo "@capawesome-team:registry=https://npm.registry.capawesome.io" >> .npmrc [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-24) echo "//npm.registry.capawesome.io/:_authToken=${{ secrets.CAPAWESOME_NPM_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}" >> .npmrc [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-25) - name: Install Dependencies [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-26) run: npm ci [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-27) - name: Sync Capacitor [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-28) run: npx cap sync [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-29) - name: Build web assets [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-30) run: npm run build ` This workflow will authenticate with the Capawesome npm registry and install any private packages specified in your `package.json` file.
