Importing and converting existing Kubernetes YAML into Pkl

[luistrigueiros]

Is there a way to quick start from existing Kubernetes YAML and using some tool convert it into Pkl ?
Once is in Pkl start using the Pkl feature to enhance the process of generating this YAML.

Good question, I have been thinking similar but for JSON exported from Figma where I can import and extract design tokens for platform specific usage. 🤔

@luistrigueiros I think you need to replace the <version> with an actual version. For example, on the convert page on the package index, there's a Module URI specified (with a copy button), that (as of this writing) is package://pkg.pkl-lang.org/pkl-pantry/k8s.contrib@1.0.0#/convert.pkl.

I don't have a Windows machine to test, but I just ran pkl eval -p input=deployment.yml -o deployment.pkl package://pkg.pkl-lang.org/pkl-pantry/k8s.contrib@1.0.0#/convert.pkl (on my local Mac) and it worked as expected.

Hi @jasongwartz

Oh ok, thank you first.
I believe we have bug on window

C:\tools\pkl-lang.org\pkl-tutorial>java -jar jpkl.jar eval -p input=nginx-deployment.yaml -o deployment.pkl package://pkg.pkl-lang.org/pkl-pantry/k8s.contrib@1.0.0#/convert.pkl
An unexpected error has occurred. Would you mind filing a bug report?

Hi @jasongwartz

I was able to do the conversion using linux alpine installation on a ubuntu over WSL

Yes, Windows support is on the TODO list, but not currently there, I'm afraid.

Thank you I have found in the Kubernets examples what I was looking for
