Github action expressions

Question

Working on Github actions for the first time. In my .yml file I have the following

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    branches:    
      - main
    inputs:
      environment:
        type: choice
        description: 'Select environment to deploy in'
        required: true
        options:
          - dev
          - non-prod
          - prod
          - staging

based on the option I need to do the following

for staging

  - name: build
    run: CI=false yarn build-staging

for non-prod

  - name: build
    run: CI=false yarn build

Could you please provide me with some pointers on how this can be achieved?

The simplest way to go about it would be to use an if condition on the jobs within your workflow, for example:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    branches:    
      - main
    inputs:
      environment:
        type: choice
        description: 'Select environment to deploy in'
        required: true
        options:
          - dev
          - non-prod
          - prod
          - staging
jobs:
  staging:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: inputs.environment == 'staging'
    steps:
    - name: build
      run: CI=false yarn build-staging
  prod:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: inputs.environment == 'prod'
    steps:
    - name: build
      run: CI=false yarn build
