-Changes to provide examples alongside scaffolder task actions.
+This patch adds changes to provide examples alongside scaffolder task actions.
+
+The `createTemplateAction` function now takes a list of examples e.g.
+
+```typescript
+const actionExamples = [
+  {
+    description: 'Example 1',
+    example: yaml.stringify({
+      steps: [
+        {
+          action: 'test:action',
+          id: 'test',
+          input: {
+            input1: 'value',
+          },
+        },
+      ],
+    }),
+  },
+];
+
+export function createTestAction() {
+  return createTemplateAction({
+      id: 'test:action',
+      examples: [
+          {
+              description: 'Example 1',
+              examples: actionExamples
+          }
+      ],
+      ...,
+  });
+```
+
+These examples can be retrieved later from the api.
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:7007/api/scaffolder/v2/actions
+```
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": "test:action",
+    "examples": [
+      {
+        "description": "Example 1",
+        "example": "steps:\n  - action: test:action\n    id: test\n    input:\n      input1: value\n"
+      }
+    ],
+    "schema": {
+      "input": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+          "input1": {
+            "title": "Input 1",
+            "type": "string"
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
