i want it too 👍
tag me when it's closed i'll bump the version in openwhisk (or send a pr our way).

I've discovered this feature is already supported.

const options = {
  packageName: 'slack', 
  package: {
    parameters: [{key: "foo", value: "bar"}],
    binding: {namespace: "whisk.system", name : "slack"} 
  }
}

ow.packages.create(options).then(...)

Does that work for you @starpit? cc @rabbah

Great thanks. Note that to create an action from an option object one has to specify the name of the action also which is asymmetric. I can file a defect/give an example.

[jthomas]

Can you provide an example here and I'll look at it for you?

                let actionName = 'seq'
                let sequence = {
                    namespace: process.env['__OW_NAMESPACE'],
                    name: actionName,
                    exec: {
                        kind: 'sequence',
                        components: [ ]}
                }

                return wsk.actions.update({actionName: actionName, action: sequence})

without actionName: actionName, in the update call above will thrown an Error (actionName required).
