Mix.Tasks.Gen.Resource is an Elixir Mix task that allows you to generate Elixir source modules from Kubernetes resource definitions. To use Mix.Tasks.Gen.Resource, you will need a YAML file containing Kubernetes resource definitions.
Example
You can generate this file by running kubectl get -o yaml on the command line. Once you have your YAML file, you can use the Mix.Tasks.Gen.Resource task to generate an Elixir source module.
# Generate a YAML dump of your Kubernetes resources in some way
$ kubectl get pods -o yaml >> kube_dump.yaml
# Use Mix.Tasks.Gen.Resource to generate an Elixir source module
$ mix gen.resource kube_dump.yaml battery_name
# Generate the module in a directory
$ mix gen.resource kube_dump.yaml directory/battery_name
The above will decode the YAML file, use macro expansion to generate a new Elixir source module that utilizes KubeExt.Builder, and dump the CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) to priv/manifests for use with KubeExt.IncludeResource. The final result is an Elixir source module called BatteryName that you can use with the [snapshot_apply]({< ref “snapshot_apply” >}} “Snapshot Apply”) system.
There will be some post generation cleanup. The generation should place the resources in a consistent directory structure between the module and the source files; however, they were not originally generated this way.
