Javascript Kubernetes Client information

The Javascript clients for Kubernetes is implemented in typescript, but can be called from either Javascript or Typescript.

For now, the client is implemented for server-side use with node using the request library.

There are future plans to also build a jQuery compatible library but for now, all of the examples and instructions assume the node client.

Installation

$ npm install @kubernetes/client-node

Example code

List all pods

const k8s = require('@kubernetes/client-node');

var k8sApi = k8s.Config.defaultClient();
k8sApi.listNamespacedPod('default')
    .then((res) => {
        console.log(res.body);
    });

Create a new namespace

const k8s = require('@kubernetes/client-node');

var k8sApi = k8s.Config.defaultClient();

var namespace = {
  metadata: {
    name: 'test'
  }
};

k8sApi.createNamespace(namespace).then(
  (response) => {
    console.log('Created namespace');
    console.log(response);
    k8sApi.readNamespace(namespace.metadata.name).then(
      (response) => {
        console.log(response);
        k8sApi.deleteNamespace(
          namespace.metadata.name, {} /* delete options */);
      });
  },
  (err) => {
    console.log('Error!: ' + err);
  }
);
