TEMPLATE DEFINITION DOCS

Definitions

All templates are defined within the ./template directory with a cluster of go template files accompanied by a draft.yaml file.

draft.yaml

The draft.yaml file contains the metadata needed to define a Template in Draft. The structure of the draft.yaml is as follows:

• templateName - The name of the template
• type - The type of template
• description - Description of template contents/functionality
• versions - the range/list of version definitions for this template
• defaultVersions - If no version is passed to a template this will be used
• parameters - a struct containing information on each parameter to the template
  • name - the parameter name associated to the gotemplate variable
  • description - description of what the parameter is used for
  • type - defines the type of the parameter
  • kind - defines the kind of parameter, useful for prompting and validation within portal/cli/vsce
  • required - defines if the parameter is required for the template
  • default - struct containing information on specific parameters default value
    • value - the parameters default value
    • referenceVar - the variable to reference if one is not provided
  • versions - the versions this item is used for

For the type parameters at the template level we currently have 4 definitions:

• deployment - the base k8s deployment + service + namespace
• dockerfile - representing a dockerfile for a specific language
• workflow - representing a GitHub Action, ADO Pipeline, or similar
• manifest - a generic k8s manifest. Think PDB, Ingress, HPA that can be added to an existing deployment

For the type parameter at the variable level, this is in line with structured types: int, float, string, bool, object.

For the kind parameter, this will be used for validation and transformation logic on the input. As an example, azureResourceGroup and azureResourceName can be validated as defined.

Validation

Within the draft config teamplate tests there is validation logic to make sure all draft.yaml definitions adhere to:

• Unique templateName's
• Valid Template type's
• Valid parameter type's
• Valid parameter kind's
