Templater function

This plugin is an implementation of a templater function written using go and uses the kyaml and airshipctl libraries for parsing the input and writing the output.

Function implementation

The function is implemented as an image, and built using make image.

Function invocation

The function is invoked by authoring a Local Resource with metadata.annotations.[config.kubernetes.io/function] and running:

kustomize fn run local-resource/

This exits non-zero if there is an error.

Running the Example

Run the function with:

kustomize fn run local-resource/

The generated resources will appear in local-resource/

$ cat local-resource/*

apiVersion: metal3.io/v1alpha1
kind: BareMetalHost
metadata:
  name: node-1
spec:
  bootMACAddress: 00:aa:bb:cc:dd

    name: node-2
template: |
  {{ range .hosts -}}
  ---
  apiVersion: metal3.io/v1alpha1
  kind: BareMetalHost
  metadata:
