For vanilla PHP projects:

name: Encode with IonCube

on: [push]

jobs:
  encode:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout Repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: IonCube Encode
        uses: MuriloChianfa/[email protected]
        # If you're dont using trial version you need to setup the ioncube download url
        # env:
        #   IONCUBE_DOWNLOAD_URL: ${{ secrets.IONCUBE_DOWNLOAD_URL }}
        with:
          source: 'src'
          output: 'encrypted'

For Laravel projects:

• Setup Secrets: Create a secret named IONCUBE_PASSPHRASE containing the passphrase to encode files.
• Install composer packages: Sometimes you need to install the composer packages before of project encode.
