Javascript Kubernetes Client information

The Javascript clients for Kubernetes is implemented in typescript, but can be called from either Javascript or Typescript. The client is implemented for server-side use with Node.

The request library is currently being swapped to fetch. See the fetch migration docs for more information and progress.

Installation

npm install @kubernetes/client-node

Example code

List all pods

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

const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromDefault();

const k8sApi = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.CoreV1Api);

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

Create a new namespace

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

const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromDefault();

const k8sApi = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.CoreV1Api);

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);
    },
);

Create a cluster configuration programatically

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

const cluster = {
    name: 'my-server',
    server: 'http://server.com',
};

const user = {
    name: 'my-user',
    password: 'some-password',
};

const context = {
    name: 'my-context',
    user: user.name,
    cluster: cluster.name,
};

const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromOptions({
    clusters: [cluster],
    users: [user],
    contexts: [context],
    currentContext: context.name,
});
const k8sApi = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.CoreV1Api);
...

Additional Examples and Documentation

There are several more JS and TS examples in the examples directory.

Documentation for the library is split into two resources:

Compatibility

Prior to the 0.13.0 release, release versions did not track Kubernetes versions. Starting with the 0.13.0 release, we will increment the minor version whenever we update the minor Kubernetes API version (e.g. 1.19.x) that this library is generated from.

Generally speaking newer clients will work with older Kubernetes, but compatability isn't 100% guaranteed.

client version	older versions	1.19	1.20	1.21	1.22	1.23	1.24
0.13.x	-	✓	x	x	x	x	x
0.14.x	-	+	✓	x	x	x	x
0.15.x	-	+	+	✓	x	x	x
0.16.x	-	+	+	+	✓	x	x
0.17.x	-	-	-	+	+	+	✓

Key:

✓ Exactly the same features / API objects in both javascript-client and the Kubernetes version.
+ javascript-client has features or api objects that may not be present in the Kubernetes cluster, but everything they have in common will work.
- The Kubernetes cluster has features the javascript-client library can't use (additional API objects, etc).
x The Kubernetes cluster has no guarantees to support the API client of this version, as it only promises n-2 version support. It is not tested, and operations using API versions that have been deprecated and removed in later server versions won't function correctly.

Known Issues

Multiple kubeconfigs are not completely supported. Credentials are cached based on the kubeconfig username and these can collide across configs. Here is the related issue.
The client wasn't generated for Kubernetes 1.23 due to limited time from the maintainer(s)
