Kongfig

A tool for Kong to allow declarative configuration.

Simply define your list of api's and consumers in json and then run kongfig to ensure that your Kong is configured correctly.

Install

Manually

We recommend installing Kongfig globally

npm install -g kongfig

Puppet

Use our Puppet-Kongfig module to install and configure Kongfig

puppet module install mybuilder-kongfig

Quick start

You can follow the quick start to get going in 5 minutes.

Apply config

You can have your config in json, yaml, or js if you need to support multiple environments.

kongfig apply --path config.yml --host localhost:8001

Dump config

You can dump the existing configuration to a file or view it on a screen

kongfig dump --host localhost:8001 > config.yml

You can omit the --host option if kong is on localhost:8001 as this is the default value

You can specify the desired format by giving --format option with possible options of json, yaml, or screen that prints the config with colours.

kongfig dump --format screen
