Custom Plugins Tutorial

This tutorial walks through a very basic plugin for airshipctl. For a more involved example, see Plugin Support

The following steps will get you started with a very rudimentary example plugin for airshipctl. First, create a directory for your project outside of the GOPATH:

mkdir /tmp/example
cd /tmp/example

This project will need to be a go module. You can initialize a module named example with the following:

go mod init example

Note that modules are a relatively new feature added to Go, so you'll need to be running Go1.11 or greater. Also note that most modules will follow a naming schema that matches the remote version control system. A more realistice module name might look something like github.com/ian-howell/exampleplugin.

Next, create a file main.go and populate it with the following:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/ian-howell/airshipctl/cmd"
	"github.com/spf13/cobra"
)

func main() {
	rootCmd, _, err := cmd.NewRootCmd(os.Stdout)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to create root airshipctl command: %s\n", err.Error())
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	exampleCmd := &cobra.Command{
		Use:   "example",
		Short: "an example plugin",
		Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
			fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Hello airshipctl!")
		},
	}

	rootCmd.AddCommand(exampleCmd)
	if err := rootCmd.Execute(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failure during execution: %s\n", err.Error())
		os.Exit(1)
	}
}

And finally, run the build command to download and compile airshipctl:

go build -o airshipctl

Now that you've built airshipctl, you can access your plugin with the following command:

./airshipctl example

You may have noticed that this example ignores the second return value from cmd.NewRootCmd. This value is a pointer to the AirshipCTLSettings, which contains various configuration details, such as the debug flag and the path to the config file*. A useful paradigm involves embedding this object into a custom ExampleSettings struct. This can be seen in the demo repo.
