Usage
Overview
After you have set up the .velocitas.json for your
project configuration
, using packages is pretty straight forward.
Currently, the packages provided by the Velocitas team are the following:
| name | description |
|---|---|
| devenv-runtimes | Containing scripts and configuration for Local and Kubernetes Runtime Services |
| devenv-devcontainer-setup | Basic configuration for the devcontainer, like proxy configuration, post create scripts, entry points for the lifecycle management. |
| devenv-github-workflows | Containing github workflow files used by velocitas repositories |
| devenv-github-templates | Containing github templates used by velocitas repositories |
| devenv-runtime-local | Central configuration for local runtime execution (deprecated) |
| devenv-runtime-k3d | Central configuration for k3d runtime execution (deprecated) |
To see how these provided packages are used inside a .velocitas.json you can use the
Python template repository
as a reference.
Installation
The Velocitas CLI - acting as a package manager for Vehicle App repositories - is installed inside our devcontainer-base-images . After creation of a devcontainer a postCreateCommand is configured to be executed which runs:
velocitas initwhich will initialize all packages referenced in your.velocitas.json. That means, it will download them and run their respective onPostInit programs, if any. (e.g, automated model generation )velocitas syncto sync files provided by some packages.
Check the section about our Velocitas CLI to learn more about the background and usage of it.
Velocitas Home Directory
The packages will be downloaded by the
Velocitas CLI
to ~/.velocitas/packages/<package_name>. More Information:
