GitHub actions: Get version action

This is an action to get the version string from project file such as package.json, .csproj (c# sdk style project file)

Of course, you can do this with a script, but I hope this is a convenient solution for those who find scripts difficult.

Usages

steps:
  - name: Checkout
    uses: actions/checkout@v3

  - uses: bbonkr/get-version-action@v1
    id: get_version
    with:
      project: './package.json'
  - name: logging
    run: |
      echo "version=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.version }}"
      echo "major=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.major }}"
      echo "minor=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.minor }}"
      echo "patch=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.patch }}"
      echo "pre-release=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.pre-release }}"
      echo "build=${{ steps.get_version.outputs.build }}"
