dioxus-ci

Reusable GitHub Actions and workflows for Dioxus projects.

Two layers:

Composite actions: fine-grained building blocks you drop into your own workflow.
Reusable workflows: opinionated, batteries-included flows you call with one uses: line.

Pin this repository by tag or commit SHA in production. The internal third-party actions used by these workflows are pinned to exact commit SHAs.

Quick start

CI checks for a typical Dioxus app:

name: CI
on:
  push: { branches: [main] }
  pull_request: { types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, ready_for_review], branches: [main] }
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
jobs:
  check:  { uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/check.yml@main }
  test:   { uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/test.yml@main }
  clippy: { uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/clippy.yml@main }
  fmt:    { uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/fmt.yml@main }

GitHub Pages deploys use one unprivileged web build and one privileged publisher. The build workflow always uploads a static artifact; the publisher deploys it as the main site for default-branch pushes, or under pr-preview/pr-<N>/ for pull requests.

# .github/workflows/web.yml
name: Web
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, ready_for_review]
    branches: [main]
permissions:
  contents: read
concurrency:
  group: web-${{ github.event.pull_request.number || github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
jobs:
  build:
    uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/web-build.yml@main
    with:
      working-directory: app
      ssg: true
      features: fullstack
      base-path: ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
      dx-cli-version: 0.7.7

# .github/workflows/pages.yml

    uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/.github/workflows/pages-publish.yml@main

    version: 0.7.7

input	default	description
`version`	`latest`	Version of `dioxus-cli` to install, or `latest`.
`force`	`"true"`	Pass `--force` to `cargo binstall`.

`free-disk-space`

Reclaim roughly 10-20 GB on Ubuntu runners by removing pre-installed toolchains. Runs only on Linux runners.

- uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/actions/free-disk-space@main

`build-web`

Run dx build --web with typed inputs for the common flags. Returns the path to the built assets.

- id: build
  uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/actions/build-web@main
  with:
    working-directory: app
    ssg: true
    features: fullstack
    base-path: my-app
- run: ls "${{ steps.build.outputs.output-path }}"

input	default	description
`working-directory`	`.`	Where `dx build` runs.
`ssg`	`"false"`	When `"true"`, adds `--fullstack --ssg`.
`features`	`""`	Cargo features passed as one `--features` value.
`no-default-features`	`"false"`	When `"true"`, adds `--no-default-features`.
`release`	`"true"`	When `"true"`, adds `--release`.

`crate-name`	Name of the built crate when auto-resolved. Empty when `output-dir` is used.

`spa-404-fallback`

Write a 404.html next to your built site so any URL deep-links to the SPA. Optionally recognizes <base>/<prefix>/pr-<N>/ and root-level <prefix>/pr-<N>/ PR-preview subroutes.

- uses: ealmloff/dioxus-ci/actions/spa-404-fallback@main
  with:
    output-dir: docs
    base-path: my-app
    pr-preview-prefix: pr-preview

input	default	description

`base-path`	`""`	Base path the app is deployed at.
`pr-preview-prefix`	`""`	Recognize `<base>/<prefix>/pr-<N>/` and root-level `<prefix>/pr-<N>/` subroutes when set.

Reusable workflows

workflow	purpose
`check.yml`	`cargo check` with typed package, feature, target, and resolver inputs.
`test.yml`	`cargo test` with typed package, feature, target, and test-selection inputs.
`clippy.yml`	`cargo clippy` with typed target/lint inputs and `-D warnings` by default.
`fmt.yml`	`cargo fmt --all -- --check` by default.
`docs.yml`	`cargo doc --workspace --no-deps --all-features --document-private-items` with denied warnings by default.
`web-build.yml`	Build a Dioxus web app and upload a deployable Pages artifact.
`pages-publish.yml`	Publish validated Pages artifacts to `gh-pages`, comment on PR previews, and remove previews when PRs close.

Pages web builds time out after 45 minutes. Pages publish jobs time out after 15 minutes, and PR-preview cleanup after 10 minutes.

The cargo workflows expose typed inputs for every supported flag — use the per-workflow tables below. For desktop/webview apt packages, Firefox, or disk cleanup, compose a custom job and install those dependencies explicitly.

Note the all-features defaults: check.yml, clippy.yml, and docs.yml default to true; test.yml defaults to false. Pass all-features: false explicitly when feature combinations matter.
