apiextensions

Package apiextensions provides generated Kubernetes clients for the Giant Swarm infrastructure.

Branches

• master
  • To be used with all Kubernetes 1.16+ operators with CAPI v1alpha2+.
  • Includes all of the latest CRDs/CRs.
• legacy-1-15
  • To be used with legacy Kubernetes 1.15 operators only with CAPI v1alpha1.
  • Currently includes these backported CRDs/CRs (and should be kept up to date when changed in master):
    • Release

Adding a New Group and/or Version

This is example skeleton for adding new group and/or version.

• Replace GROUP with new group name and VERSION with new version name.
• Create a new package /pkg/apis/GROUP/VERSION/.
• Inside the package create a file doc.go (content below).
• Inside the package create a file register.go (content below).
• Edit the last argument of generate-groups.sh call inside ./scripts/gen.sh. It has format existingGroup:existingVersion GROUP:VERSION.
• Add a new object (described in next paragraph).

Example doc.go content.

// +k8s:deepcopy-gen=package,register

// +groupName=GROUP.giantswarm.io
package VERSION

Example register.go content.

package VERSION

import (
	metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"
	"k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime"
	"k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime/schema"
)

const (
	group   = "GROUP.giantswarm.io"
	version = "VERSION"
)

// knownTypes is the full list of objects to register with the scheme. It
// should contain pointers of zero values of all custom objects and custom
// object lists in the group version.
var knownTypes = []runtime.Object{
		//&Object{},
		//&ObjectList{},
}

// SchemeGroupVersion is group version used to register these objects
var SchemeGroupVersion = schema.GroupVersion{
	Group:   group,
	Version: version,
}

var (
	schemeBuilder = runtime.NewSchemeBuilder(addKnownTypes)

	// AddToScheme is used by the generated client.
	AddToScheme = schemeBuilder.AddToScheme
)

// Adds the list of known types to api.Scheme.
func addKnownTypes(scheme *runtime.Scheme) error {
	scheme.AddKnownTypes(SchemeGroupVersion, knownTypes...)
	metav1.AddToGroupVersion(scheme, SchemeGroupVersion)
	return nil
}

Adding a New Custom Object

This is example skeleton for adding new object.

• Make sure group and version of the object to add exists (described in previous paragraph).
• Replace NewObj with your object name.
• Put struct definitions inside a proper package denoted by group and version in file named new_obj_types.go. Replace new_obj with lowercased, snakecased object name.
• Add NewObj and NewObjList to knownTypes slice in register.go
• Generate client by calling ./scripts/gen.sh.
• Commit generated code and all edits to ./scripts/gen.sh.

// +genclient
// +genclient:noStatus
// +k8s:deepcopy-gen:interfaces=k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.Object

// NewObj godoc.
type NewObj struct {
	metav1.TypeMeta   `json:",inline"`
	metav1.NewObjMeta `json:"metadata"`
	Spec              NewObjSpec `json:"spec"`
}

// NewObjSpec godoc.
type NewObjSpec struct {
	FieldName string `json:"fieldName", yaml:"fieldName"`
}

// +k8s:deepcopy-gen:interfaces=k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.Object

// NewObjList godoc.
type NewObjList struct {
	metav1.TypeMeta `json:",inline"`
	metav1.ListMeta `json:"metadata"`
	Items           []NewObj `json:"items"`
}

Changing Existing Custom Object

• Make the desired changes.
• Update generated client by calling ./scripts/gen.sh. (If the command fails with can't load package: ... try running it with: GO111MODULE=off ./scripts/gen.sh).
• Commit all changes, including generated code.

Naming Convention

Custom object structs are placed in packages corresponding to the endpoints in Kubernetes API. E.g. structs in package github.com/giantswarm/apiextensions/pkg/apis/cluster/v1alpha1 are created from objects under /apis/cluster.giantswarm.io/v1alpha1/ endpoint.

As this is common to have name collisions between field type names in different custom objects sharing the same group and version we prefix all type names referenced inside custom object with custom object name.

Example:

type NewObj struct {
	metav1.TypeMeta   `json:",inline"`
	metav1.ObjectMeta `json:"metadata"`
	Spec              NewObjSpec `json:"spec"`
}

type NewObjSpec struct {
	Cluster       NewObjCluster       `json:"cluster" yaml:"cluster"`
	VersionBundle NewObjVersionBundle `json:"versionBundle" yaml:"versionBundle"`
}

type NewObjCluster struct {
	Calico       NewObjCalico       `json:"calico" yaml:"calico"`
	DockerDaemon NewObjDockerDaemon `json:"dockerDaemon" yaml:"dockerDaemon"`
}
