vela def init
Init a new definition
Synopsis
Init a new definition with given arguments or interactively
- We support parsing a single YAML file (like kubernetes objects) into the cue-style template. However, we do not support variables in YAML file currently, which prevents users from directly feeding files like helm chart directly. We may introduce such features in the future.
vela def init DEF_NAME [flags]
Examples
# Command below initiate an empty TraitDefinition named my-ingress
> vela def init my-ingress -t trait --desc "My ingress trait definition." > ./my-ingress.cue
# Command below initiate a definition named my-def interactively and save it to ./my-def.cue
> vela def init my-def -i --output ./my-def.cue
# Command below initiate a ComponentDefinition named my-webservice with the template parsed from ./template.yaml.
