Deploying to Azure Static Web App

Learn how to deploy a web app to Azure Static Web App as part of your continuous deployment (CD) workflows.

Prerequisites

Before creating your GitHub Actions workflow, you will first need to complete the following setup steps:

  1. Create an Azure Static Web App using the 'Other' option for deployment source. For more information, see Quickstart: Building your first static site in the Azure portal in the Azure documentation.

  2. Create a secret called AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_TOKEN with the value of your static web app deployment token. For more information about how to find your deployment token, see Reset deployment tokens in Azure Static Web Apps in the Azure documentation.

Creating the workflow

Once you've completed the prerequisites, you can proceed with creating the workflow.

The following example workflow demonstrates how to build and deploy an Azure static web app when there is a push to the main branch or when a pull request targeting main is opened, synchronized, or reopened. The workflow also tears down the corresponding pre-production deployment when a pull request targeting main is closed.

Under the workflow env key, change the following values:

  • APP_LOCATION to the location of your client code
  • API_LOCATION to the location of your API source code. If API_LOCATION is not relevant, you can delete the variable and the lines where it is used.
  • OUTPUT_LOCATION to the location of your client code build output

For more information about these values, see Build configuration for Azure Static Web Apps in the Azure documentation.

# Este flujo de trabajo usa acciones que no GitHub no certifica.
# Estas las proporcionan entidades terceras y las gobiernan
# condiciones de servicio, políticas de privacidad y documentación de soporte
# en línea.

# GitHub recomienda anclar acciones a un SHA de confirmación.
# Para obtener una versión más reciente, debes actualizar el SHA.
# También puedes hacer referencia a una etiqueta o rama, pero la acción puede cambiar sin ninguna advertencia.
