configmap

Load data into a ConfigMap

CUE input file:

package kube

configMap: [ID=_]: {metadata: name: ID}

configMap: "app-metadata": {
    apiVersion: "v1"
    kind:       "ConfigMap"
    data: {
        version: string @readfile(version.txt=trim)
    } @readmap(meta.yaml)
}

configMap: "scripts": {
    apiVersion: "v1"
    kind:       "ConfigMap"
    data: {} @readmap(scripts)
}

objects: [ for v in configMap {v}]

External data, e.g. buildinfo or scripts can be imported into a ConfigMap.

• @readfile(version.txt=trim) reads the whole file, and, because of the =trim suffix, removes any leading and trailing whitespace
• @readmap(meta.yaml) reads the given YAML file as key/value data (readmap only allows one level) and adds it to the data struct
• @readmap(scripts) reads all files from the scripts directory as key/values into the ConfigMap

Using multiple attributes for the structure data is ok, this does not lead to conflicts, as long as the loaded data itself does not conflict.
