61.3.1. Camel JBang usage
Copy link

61.3.1.1. Prerequisites for JBang
Copy link

  • Install JBang.

  • You have executed the following command: 

    jbang app install camel@apache/camel
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

61.3.1.2. Running a route with JBang
Copy link

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"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can now run it directly through the following command. 

camel run route.yaml
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
