argopm

argopm is a package manager for Argo Workflows. It enables developers to distribute and consume argo workflow templates as reusable modules.

Usually, these templates are declared in multiple YAML files and have to be manually applied to the cluster when making changes, doing this becomes very tedious with a growing number of templates.

That's why we built argopm. It allows you to bundle your workflow templates as npm packages so you can distribute and consume them using the amazing tooling already present in the Javascript ecosystem.

With argopm you can also add other k8s resources like configmaps, secrets etc to your package. It also supports adding grafana dashboards right into your package. There is also support for uploading static files to the artifactory ( available for AWS S3)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js > v18.20.3

Installation

argopm is available on NPM. You can install it globally in your node environment using npm or yarn.

npm i -g argopm

OR

yarn add -g argopm

Quickstart

To create a new package with argopm, create a directory for your package, cd into that directory and run argopm init . to scaffold a default package.

mkdir sample-package && cd sample-package
argopm init .

Once this succeeds, you'll see the following contents in your package

.
├── README.md
├── configmaps
│   ├── README.md
│   └── default.yaml
├── cronworkflows
│   ├── README.md
│   └── default.yaml
├── dashboards
│   └── grafana
│       └── observability.json
├── index.js
├── package.json
├── pipelines
│   ├── README.md
│   └── default.yaml
├── secrets
│   ├── README.md
│   └── default.yaml
├── static
│   ├── README.md
│   └── data.json
└── templates
    ├── README.md
    └── default.yaml

8 directories, 16 files

You can then run argopm install . to install this package to the kubernetes cluster your current context is set to.
