Extensibility and Customization - helixml/dagger

Extensibility and Customization for the Dagger project can be achieved through the use of KubeVela addons and the Go programming language.

KubeVela addons are a convenient way to bundle customizations and their dependencies together, extending the capabilities of the platform. They are highly extensible, allowing users to build their own customizations using Definitions. An Introduction to KubeVela Addons: Extend Your Own Platform Capability provides an overview of KubeVela addons and guides you through building one.

The Dagger project can also be extended using the Go programming language. The project’s main module is named “main”, which impacts the go build output. The Golang Module name can be changed by renaming the directory containing the go.mod file.

Carvel, a Kubernetes software supply chain project, provides a blog post on using kapp in a Dagger pipeline. This can be useful for extending the Dagger project’s capabilities.

The KubeVela team has also written a blog post on building flexible abstraction for any Kubernetes Resources with CUE and KubeVela. This can be used to reduce the complexity of Kubernetes resources and dynamically customize the abstraction.

In addition, the Backstage Search platform provides a customizable search tool that allows for customization of search result components and list items. This can be useful for extending the Dagger project’s search capabilities.

The Open Policy Agent policy language and type checking features can also be used to extend the Dagger project’s capabilities. However, it is important to note that certain features such as additional properties for objects, pattern properties for objects, and contains for arrays are not yet supported.
