Kubernetes ConfigMap Source (configmap)

The configmap source reads config from a kubernetes configmap key/values

Kubernetes ConfigMap Format

The configmap source expects keys under a namespace default to default and a confimap default to asana

// we recommend to setup your variables from multiples files example:
$ kubectl create configmap asana --namespace default --from-file=./testdata

// verify if were set correctly with
$ kubectl get configmap asana --namespace default
{
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "data": {
        "config": "host=0.0.0.0\nport=1337",
        "mongodb": "host=127.0.0.1\nport=27017\nuser=user\npassword=password",
        "redis": "url=redis://127.0.0.1:6379/db01"
    },
    "kind": "ConfigMap",
    "metadata": {
        ...
        "name": "asana",
        "namespace": "default",
        ...
    }
}

Keys are split on \n and = this is because the way kubernetes saves the data is map[string][string].

// the example above "mongodb": "host=127.0.0.1\nport=27017\nuser=user\npassword=password" will be accessible as:
conf.Get("mongodb", "host") // 127.0.0.1
conf.Get("mongodb", "port") // 27017

New Source

Specify source with data

configmapSource := configmap.NewSource(
	// optionally specify a namespace; default to default
	configmap.WithNamespace("kube-public"),
	// optionally specify name for ConfigMap; defaults asana
	configmap.WithName("asana-config"),
    // optionally strip the provided path to a kube config file mostly used outside of a cluster, defaults to "" for in cluster support.
    configmap.WithConfigPath($HOME/.kube/config),
)

Load Source

Load the source into config

// Create new config
conf := config.NewConfig()

// Load file source
conf.Load(configmapSource)

Running Go Tests

Requirements

Have a kubernetes cluster running (external or minikube) have a valid kubeconfig file.

// Setup testing configmaps feel free to remove them after testing.
$ cd source/configmap
$ kubectl create configmap asana --from-file=./testdata
$ kubectl create configmap asana --from-file=./testdata --namespace kube-public
$ kubectl create configmap asana-config --from-file=./testdata
$ kubectl create configmap asana-config --from-file=./testdata --namespace kube-public
$ go test -v -cover

// To clean up the testing configmaps
$ kubectl delete configmap asana --all-namespaces
$ kubectl delete configmap asana-config --all-namespaces

Todos

• add more test cases including watchers
• add support for prefixing either using namespace or a custom string passed as WithPrefix
• a better way to test without manual setup from the user.
• add test examples.
• open to suggestions and feedback please let me know what else should I add.

stay tuned for kubernetes secret support as an source.
