This action parses inputs regardless of which event triggered the workflow.

It is currently useful for workflows that both use dispatch methods, repository_dispatch and workflow_dispatch. In the future, we might add support for more events and input validation.

- uses: simenandre/setup-inputs@v1
  id: inputs

With that you can access the inputs for both repository and workflow dispatch as such:

- runs: ${{ steps.inputs.outputs.a-string }}

Or the whole JSON object, as such:

- runs: ${{ steps.inputs.outputs.payload }}

See the testing.yml for a full example.
