provider-template

provider-template is a minimal Crossplane Provider that is meant to be used as a template for implementing new Providers. It comes with the following features that are meant to be refactored:

• A ProviderConfig type that only points to a credentials Secret.
• A MyType resource type that serves as an example managed resource.
• A managed resource controller that reconciles MyType objects and simply prints their configuration in its Observe method.

Developing

1. Use this repository as a template to create a new one.
2. Run make submodules to initialize the "build" Make submodule we use for CI/CD.
3. Rename the provider by running the following command:

  export provider_name=MyProvider # Camel case, e.g. GitHub
  make provider.prepare provider=${provider_name}

4. Add your new type by running the following command:

  export group=sample # lower case e.g. core, cache, database, storage, etc.
  export type=MyType # Camel casee.g. Bucket, Database, CacheCluster, etc.
  make provider.addtype provider=${provider_name} group=${group} kind=${type}

5. Replace the sample group with your new group in apis/{provider}.go
6. Replace the mytype type with your new type in internal/controller/{provider}.go
7. Replace the default controller and ProviderConfig implementations with your own
8. Run make reviewable to run code generation, linters, and tests.
9. Run make build to build the provider.
