19.3. Usage

19.3.1. Camel JBang usage

19.3.1.1. Prerequisites for JBang

  • Install JBang.
  • You have executed the following command:

    jbang app install camel@apache/camel

19.3.1.2. Running a route with JBang

Suppose you have a file named route.yaml with this content:

- route:
    from:
      uri: "kamelet:timer-source"
      parameters:
        period: 10000
        message: 'test'
      steps:
        - to:
            uri: "kamelet:log-sink"

You can now run it directly through the following command.

camel run route.yaml

19.3.2. Knative Source

You can use the cassandra-source Kamelet as a Knative source by binding it to a Knative object.

cassandra-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: Pipe
metadata:
  name: cassandra-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
      name: cassandra-source
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel

19.3.3. Kafka Source

You can use the cassandra-source Kamelet as a Kafka source by binding it to a Kafka topic.

cassandra-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: Pipe
metadata:
  name: cassandra-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
      name: cassandra-source
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic
