Core Built-In Helpers
Kubes provides some helper methods to help write Kubernetes YAML files. Here’s a list of the helper methods. These are available whether you write your resources in YAML or DSL.
| Helper | Description |
|---|---|
| decode64 | Base64 decode a string. |
| docker_image | Method refers to the latest Docker image built by Kubes. This spares you from having to update the image manually in the deployment resource. Note, this can be overridden with the --image cli option or the Kubes.config.image setting. See: Docker Image |
| dockerfile_port | Exposed port extracted from the Dockerfile of the project. |
| encode64 | Base64 encode a string. Also available as base64 method. |
| extra | The KUBES_EXTRA value. |
| with_extra | Appends the KUBES_EXTRA value to a string if it’s set. It’s covered in the Extra Env Docs. |
Here’s also the source code with most of the helpers: helpers.rb.
