ExtensionKit

Through kits like ActionKit and DiscoveryKit, Steadybit can be extended with new capabilities. Such *Kit usages are called extensions. ExtensionKit contains helpful utilities and best practices for extension authors leveraging the Go programming language.

Installation

Add the following to your go.mod file:

go get github.com/steadybit/extension-kit

Environment Variables

Extension using this extension kit can be configured through environment variables. The following environment variables are supported:

Environment Variable	Meaning	Default
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_PORT	Overwrite the extensions default port number that the HTTP server should bind to.
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_HEALTH_PORT	Overwrite the extensions default port number that the HTTP server for the health endpoints should bind to.
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_TLS_SERVER_CERT	Optional absolute path to a TLS certificate that will be used to open an HTTPS server.
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_TLS_SERVER_KEY	Optional absolute path to a file containing the key to the server certificate.
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_TLS_CLIENT_CAS	Optional comma-separated list of absolute paths to files containing TLS certificates. When specified, the server will expect clients to authenticate using mutual TLS.
STEADYBIT_EXTENSION_UNIX_SOCKET	If set the extension will listen using a unix domain socket instead of tcp.
STEADYBIT_LOG_FORMAT	Defines the log format that the extension will use. Possible values are text and json.	text
STEADYBIT_LOG_LEVEL	Defines the active log level. Possible values are debug, info, warn and error.	info
STEADYBIT_LOG_COLOR	Defines colorization of log output. Possible values are true, false and unset. If unset will use color only if stderr is a terminal.

Overview

Package extension_kit provides utilities to handle extension errors.

Index

• type ExtensionError
  • func ToError(title string, err error) ExtensionError
  • func (e ExtensionError) Error() string

Types

type ExtensionError

type ExtensionError struct {
	// A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem.
	Detail *string `json:"detail,omitempty"`

	// A URI reference that identifies the specific occurrence of the problem.
	Instance *string `json:"instance,omitempty"`

	// A short, human-readable summary of the problem type.
	Title string `json:"title"`

	// A URI reference that identifies the problem type.
	Type *string `json:"type,omitempty"`
}

ExtensionError is a generalization over ActionKit and DiscoveryKit error types. They are structurally identical and can be used interchangeably.

func ToError

func ToError(title string, err error) ExtensionError

ToError converts an error to an ExtensionError.

func (ExtensionError) Error

func (e ExtensionError) Error() string
