Provides an extendable describer for kubernetes resources. Includes an angular directive for rendering an instance of a describer.
This is an early implementation and is subject to change.
The kubernetes describer is provided in the kubernetes-object-describer bower package.
To use the kubernetes-object-describer bower component in another project, run:
bower install kubernetes-object-describer --save
To use the describer service and directive include the dist/object-describer.js. Make sure your angular app / module includes kubernetesUI as a module dependency.
angular.module('exampleApp', ['kubernetesUI'])
To see a simple running example git clone this repo and run
npm install
bower install
grunt serve
This will install any required dependencies and then make the index.html example available on http://localhost:9000
Using the existing describers:
<!-- Default generic describer -->
<kubernetes-object-describer resource="k8s-API-JSON-Object" more-details-link="optional/path/to/more/details.html"></kubernetes-object-describer>
<!-- Pod describer -->
<kubernetes-object-describer resource="k8s-API-JSON-Object" more-details-link="optional/path/to/more/details.html" kind="Pod"></kubernetes-object-describer>
<!-- Service describer -->
<kubernetes-object-describer resource="k8s-API-JSON-Object" more-details-link="optional/path/to/more/details.html" kind="Service"></kubernetes-object-describer>
<!-- ReplicationController describer -->
<kubernetes-object-describer resource="k8s-API-JSON-Object" more-details-link="optional/path/to/more/details.html" kind="ReplicationController"></kubernetes-object-describer>
Registering additional describers:
// Use the KubernetesObjectDescriber service to register additional kinds or custom templates for existing kinds
// kind - the kind of API object, ex: 'Pod'. You can specify custom kind names here like "MyCustomPod".
// templateURLForKind - URL for the template to use when this Kind is passed to the <kubernetes-object-describer> directive
// overwrite - by default registerKind will not let you re-register an already registered kind, to overwrite the existing
// template for a kind, pass overwrite=true
KubernetesObjectDescriber.registerKind(kind, templateURLForKind, overwrite)
A number of smaller directives have been made available to help with writing custom templates.
- kubernetes-object-describe-header - renders a simple header, currently just renders the Kind according to the resource object
- kubernetes-object-describe-footer - renders a simple footer, currently renders the optional more-details-link
- kubernetes-object-describe-labels - renders any labels found on the resource
- kubernetes-object-describe-annotations - renders any annotations found on the resource
- kubernetes-object-describe-metadata - renders basic metadata (name, namespace, creationTimestamp) as well as labels and annotations
- kubernetes-object-describe-containers - renders details about the array of containers passed to it
- kubernetes-object-describe-volumes - renders details about the array of volumes passed to it
The example theme used in index.html is based on bootstrap, however bootstrap is not required as a bower dependency and you can change the theme however you want.
jQuery is not required as a dependency, but when it is available additional features will be turned on:
- collapsing long annotation values - when annotations have very long values they will be truncated and then can be clicked to expand
There are several enhancements being considered for future implementation.
- verbosity modes - terse/normal/verbose modes intended to work on different levels of screen real estate. Normal might fit into a right sidebar, whereas verbose would be a full page of detail.
- more describers - there are plenty of kubernetes Kinds that we don't have describers for yet
- sample theme improvements
