Usage

Below we have listed some basic examples. You can find more information about the usage within the docs/ folder.

Utils

If you need to access several utility functions:

import {
  "github.com/keptn/go-utils/pkg/lib"
}

This module provides you with a convenient Keptn helper struct that allows you to access several resources that are relevant within the context of a Keptn event. The helper struct can be initialized by passing a CloudEvent to the NewKeptn function. Example:

func HandleEvent(event cloudevents.Event) error {
	keptnHandler, err := keptn.NewKeptn(&event, keptn.KeptnOpts{})
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	
    // get the shipyard file of the project
    shipyard, _ := keptnHandler.GetShipyard()
    
    // get a resource within the current context (i.e., project, stage, service) of the event
    resourceContent, _ := keptnHandler.GetKeptnResource("resource.yaml")

    // send a cloud event
    _ = keptnHandler.SendCloudEvent(event)
    // ...
}

By default, the SendCloudEvent function of the Keptn struct will send events to the distributor sidecar that is running within the same pod of the Keptn service (see the Keptn doc for more details). This behavior can be overridden by passing an implementation of the EventSender interface via the KeptnOpts object that is passed to the NewKeptn function, e.g.:

// custom EventSender

type MyCustomEventSender struct {
}

func (es *MyCustomEventSender) SendEvent(event cloudevents.Event) error {
    // custom implementation
    return nil
}
//...
keptnHandler, err := keptn.NewKeptn(&event, keptn.KeptnOpts{
    EventSender: &MyCustomEventSender{}
})
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

For unit testing purposes, we offer a mock implementation of the EventSender interface in the keptn/v0_2_0/fake package. This mock implementation can be used to check if your service sends the expected events. E.g.:

func MyTest(t *testing.T) {
    fakeSender := &keptnfake.EventSender{}

    // optionally, you can add custom behavior for certain event types (e.g. returning an error for a certain event type):
    fakeSender.AddReactor("sh.keptn.event.deployment.finished", func(event cloudevents.Event) error {
        return errors.New("i throw an error if i should send a 'sh.keptn.event.deployment.finished' event")
    })

    keptnHandler, err := keptn.NewKeptn(&event, keptn.KeptnOpts{
        EventSender: fakeSender
    })

    myService := &MyKeptnService{
        KeptnHandler: keptnHandler
    }
    
    myService.handleEvent(myReceivedCloudEvent)
    
    // check if your service sends out events of the type "sh.keptn.event.deployment.started" and "sh.keptn.event.deployment.finished"
    if err := fakeSender.AssertSentEventTypes([]string{"sh.keptn.event.deployment.started", "sh.keptn.event.deployment.finished"}); err != nil {
        t.Errorf("%s", err.Error())
    }

    // to inspect the sent events in more detail, you can access them via fakeSender.SentEvents
    for _, event := range fakeSender.SentEvents {
        // do some validation here
    }

    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
}

CloudEvent Data

If you need to access data within CloudEvents:

import {
	"github.com/keptn/go-utils/pkg/lib"
)

Example:

func parseCloudEvent(event cloudevents.Event) (keptnevents.TestFinishedEventData, error) {
	eventData := &keptn.TestsFinishedEventData{}
	err := event.DataAs(eventData)
    
    return eventData, err
}

Models

If you need to access Models for YAML files:

import {
	"github.com/keptn/go-utils/pkg/lib"
)

Querying Events from event store

// Create an event Handler
eventHandler := apiutils.NewAuthenticatedEventHandler("1.2.3.4/api", token, "x-token", nil, "http")

// Create a filter
filter := &apiutils.EventFilter{KeptnContext:  "03b2b951-9835-4e87-b0b0-0ad0bc288214"}

// Query for event(s)
events, err := eventHandler.GetEvents(filter)

Watching for events in event store

// Create a watcher
watcher := api.NewEventWatcher(eventhandler),
	api.WithEventFilter(api.EventFilter{  // use custom filter
           Project: "sockshop",
           KeptnContext: "..."}),
	api.WithInterval(time.NewTicker(5*time.Second)), // fetch every 5 seconds
	api.WithStartTime(time.Now()),                  // start fetching events newer than this timestamp
	api.WithTimeout(time.Second * 15),             // stop fetching events after 15 secs
)

    // start watcher and consume events
	allEvents, _ := watcher.Watch(context.Background())
	for events := range allEvents {
		for _, e := range events {
			fmt.Println(*e.Type)
		}
	}
