如何从 Kubernetes Javascript 客户端创建作业和机密

Question

I am trying to work my way into the kubernetes javascript client .

My goal is to create a Job and a secret from inside the cluster.

The kubernetes javascript client provide examples on how to create a in-cluster config and make simples API calls, but the generated documentation is no big help if you want to interact with other kubernetes objects (Jobs and Secret in my case)...

The documentation reference all the classes, but that's all.

So, do you have already worked with the Kubernetes javascript client? Is there a more precise documentation or more examples? (I wasn't succesful in my reshearsh)

Or, do you know how to create Jobs/Secret from the Client?

I Won't post my code here, because I only made the in-cluster config, it's only a copy from the repo example.

Thanks a Lot in advance: :)

Answer 1

So, after a little meddling with the Kubernetes Javascript Client and with the help of the commentary of @François I found what I was looking to achieve.

The documentation of the K8s javascript client is very "minimal", an the best way to see what is possible is using a good Code Editor (Code for me).

Based on this example you see the createNamespacedIngress, and all the other K8s object linked with the CoreV1Api are created with the same nomenclature.

If you want to create an object that is not managed by the CoreV1Api, you need to use the makeApiClient method on the Api you need to interacy with.

So, for creating a Job, I needed to use the BatchV1Api.

I'll try to upload an example on the Javasript client repo, to maybe, help more poor lost souls like me. Snippet of the code:

const k8sCoreV1Api = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.CoreV1Api); // we call the CoreV1Api that will be used for the creation of the secrets

const k8sBatchV1Api = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.BatchV1Api); //we call the BatchV1Api that will be used for the creation of the jobs
