Skyline Year is Weird

I set the plugin_skyline_year to 0 so it will show the current year (2021) but it shows 2008.

NaN is falsy (!!NaN === false), so a simple if (!year) might work.

Yes, plus it’s easier to understand it 👍

Is the metadata’s type value used for converting the value passed in the workflow?

Yes indeed 🙂

The reason behind is that GitHub passes all inputs as environment variables to actions, so these are implicitely casted to strings (that’s also why arrays and dictionnaries cannot be used currently in any action.yml, though I’ve seen that GitHub recently added new features to parse multilines strings into array in actions/core). It’s also the same for query parameters when using web instances, which are implicitely strings since there are no typing.

So although kind of hacky, the metadata.mjs parses the metadata.yml of each plugin to automatically validate and sanitize user inputs, with additional casting and defaulting to avoid inputs checks at the beginning of each plugin. It also kind of act as documentation as a bonus

Thanks a lot! It worked! 😁

Glad you were able to make it work!
