Description
Adds resources specified in a resource file to a component version. So far, only component archives are supported as target.
This command accepts resource specification files describing the resources
to add to a component version. Elements must follow the resource meta data
description scheme of the component descriptor. Besides referential resources
using the access
attribute to describe the access method, it
is possible to describe local resources fed by local data using the input
field (see below).
The description file might contain:
- a single resource
- a list of resources under the key
resources
- a list of yaml documents with a single resource or resource list
It is possible to describe a single resource via command line options.
The meta data of this element is described by the argument of option –resource
,
which must be a YAML or JSON string.
Alternatively, the name and version can be specified with the
options –name
and –version
. With the option –extra
it is possible to add extra identity attributes. Explicitly specified options
override values specified by the –resource
option.
(Note: Go templates are not supported for YAML-based option values. Besides
this restriction, the finally composed element description is still processed
by the selected template engine.)
The resource type can be specified with the option –type
. Therefore, the
minimal required meta data for elements can be completely specified by dedicated
options and don’t need the YAML option.
To describe the content of this element one of the options –access
or
–input
must be given. They take a YAML or JSON value describing an
attribute set, also. The structure of those values is similar to the access
or input
fields of the description file format.
Non-local resources can be indicated using the option –external
.
All yaml/json defined resources can be templated.
Variables are specified as regular arguments following the syntax <name>=<value>
.
Additionally settings can be specified by a yaml file using the –settings
option. With the option –addenv
environment variables are added to the binding.
Values are overwritten in the order environment, settings file, command line settings.
Note: Variable names are case-sensitive.
Example:
<command> <options> -- MY_VAL=test <args>
There are several templaters that can be selected by the –templater
option:
go
go templating supports complex values.key: subkey: "abc {{.MY_VAL}}"
none
do not do any substitution.spiff
spiff templating.It supports complex values. the settings are accessible using the binding
values
.key: subkey: "abc (( values.MY_VAL ))"
subst

templater.It supports string values, only. Complex settings will be json encoded.
key: subkey: "abc ${MY_VAL}"
The resource specification supports the following blob input types, specified
with the field type
in the input
field:
Input type
binary
This blob type is used to provide base64 encoded binary content. The specification supports the following fields:

[]byteThe binary data to provide.
mediaType
stringThis OPTIONAL property describes the media type to store with the local blob. The default media type is application/octet-stream and application/gzip if compression is enabled.

Input type
dir
The path must denote a directory relative to the resources file, which is packed with tar and optionally compressed if the
compress
field is set totrue
. If the fieldpreserveDir
is set to true the directory itself is added to the tar. If the fieldfollowSymLinks
is set totrue
, symbolic links are not packed but their targets files or folders. With the list fieldsincludeFiles
andexcludeFiles
it is possible to specify which files should be included or excluded. The values are regular expression used to match relative file paths. If no includes are specified all file not explicitly excluded are used.This blob type specification supports the following fields:

Version
v1
The type specific specification fields are:
helmRepository
stringHelm repository URL.
helmChart
stringThe name of the Helm chart and its version separated by a colon.
version
stringThe version of the Helm chart if not specified as part of the chart name.

Access type
localBlob
This method is used to store a resource blob along with the component descriptor on behalf of the hosting OCM repository.
Its implementation is specific to the implementation of OCM repository used to read the component descriptor. Every repository implementation may decide how and where local blobs are stored, but it MUST provide an implementation for this method.
Regardless of the chosen implementation the attribute specification is defined globally the same.
The following versions are supported:
Version
v1
The type specific specification fields are:
localReference
stringRepository type specific location information as string. The value may encode any deep structure, but typically just an access path is sufficient.
mediaType
stringThe media type of the blob used to store the resource. It may add format information like
+tar
or+gzip
.referenceName
(optional) stringThis optional attribute may contain identity information used by other repositories to restore some global access with an identity related to the original source.
For example, if an OCI artifact originally referenced using the access method
ociArtifact
is stored during some transport step as local artifact, the reference name can be set to its original repository name. An import step into an OCI based OCM repository may then decide to make this artifact available again as regular OCI artifact.globalAccess
(optional) access method specificationIf a resource blob is stored locally, the repository implementation may decide to provide an external access information (independent of the OCM model).
For example, an OCI artifact stored as local blob can be additionally stored as regular OCI artifact in an OCI registry.
This additional external access information can be added using a second external access method specification.
