26.3. Usage

This section describes how you can use the has-header-filter-action.

26.3.1. Knative Action

You can use the has-header-filter-action Kamelet as an intermediate step in a Knative binding.

has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: has-header-filter-action-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: timer-source
    properties:
      message: "Hello"
  steps:
  - ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: insert-header-action
    properties:
      name: "my-header"
      value: "my-value"
  - ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: has-header-filter-action
    properties:
      name: "my-header"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel

26.3.1.1. Prerequisite

Make sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

26.3.1.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the action by using the following command:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    oc apply -f has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml

26.3.1.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the action by using the following command:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
kamel bind --name has-header-filter-action-binding timer-source?message="Hello" --step insert-header-action -p "step-0.name=my-header" -p "step-0.value=my-value" --step has-header-filter-action -p "step-1.name=my-header" channel:mychannel

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.

26.3.2. Kafka Action

You can use the has-header-filter-action Kamelet as an intermediate step in a Kafka binding.

has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: has-header-filter-action-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: timer-source
    properties:
      message: "Hello"
  steps:
  - ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: insert-header-action
    properties:
      name: "my-header"
      value: "my-value"
  - ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: has-header-filter-action
    properties:
      name: "my-header"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic

26.3.2.1. Prerequisites

Ensure that you’ve installed the AMQ Streams operator in your OpenShift cluster and created a topic named my-topic in the current namespace. Make also sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

26.3.2.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the action by using the following command:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    oc apply -f has-header-filter-action-binding.yaml

26.3.2.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the action by using the following command:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
kamel bind --name has-header-filter-action-binding timer-source?message="Hello" --step insert-header-action -p "step-0.name=my-header" -p "step-0.value=my-value" --step has-header-filter-action -p "step-1.name=my-header" kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1:KafkaTopic:my-topic

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
