codegen

codegen

Tanzu codegen plugin is a place for generators for generating utility code and Kubernetes YAML, and is based on controller-tools. The generators specify what to generate and output rules specify where to write the results.

Generators

Generators look for special marker comments in the Go code and generate the utility code and config YAML. To use a specific generator it needs to be specified through the CLI option and multiple generators can be used when running the tanzu codegen generate command. The generated utility code or the YAML needs to be written somewhere, this is controlled by the output rules. To learn more about output rules and how to configure them check here

Feature

Feature generator is for generating Feature CRs from marker comments that are associated with a type declaration.

Command to use the Feature generator:

tanzu codegen generate paths=${path_to_scan} feature output:feature:artifacts:config=${outputDir}
