jsonnet-bundler

NOTE: This project is alpha stage. Flags, configuration, behavior and design may change significantly in following releases.

The jsonnet-bundler is a package manager for Jsonnet.

Install

go get github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/jb

Features

• Fetches transitive dependencies
• Can vendor subtrees, as opposed to whole repositories

Current Limitations

• Always downloads entire dependent repositories, even when updating
• If two dependencies depend on the same package (diamond problem), they must require the same version

Example Usage

Initialize your project:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
jb init

The existence of the jsonnetfile.json file means your directory is now a jsonnet-bundler package that can define dependencies.

To depend on another package (another Github repository): Note that your dependency need not be initialized with a jsonnetfile.json. If it is not, it is assumed it has no transitive dependencies.

jb install https://github.com/anguslees/kustomize-libsonnet

Now write myconfig.jsonnet, which can import a file from that package. Remember to use -J vendor when running Jsonnet to include the vendor tree.

local kustomize = import 'kustomize-libsonnet/kustomize.libsonnet';

local my_resource = {
  metadata: {
    name: 'my-resource',
  },
};

kustomize.namePrefix('staging-')(my_resource)

To depend on a package that is in a subtree of a Github repo (this package also happens to bring in a transitive dependency):

jb install https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/jsonnet/prometheus-operator

Note that if you are copy pasting from the Github website's address bar, remove the tree/master from the path.

If pushed to Github, your project can now be referenced from other packages in the same way, with its dependencies fetched automatically.
