Chapter 69. Kamelet Main

The KameletMain is pre-configured with the following properties:

camel.component.kamelet.location = classpath:/kamelets,github:apache:camel-kamelets/kamelets
camel.component.rest.consumerComponentName = platform-http
camel.component.rest.producerComponentName = vertx-http

You can override these settings by updating the configuration in application.properties.

The Kamelet Main can automatically download Kamelet YAML files from a remote location over http/https, and from github as well.

The official Kamelets from the Apache Camel Kamelet Catalog is stored on github and they can be used out of the box as-is.

For example a Camel route can be coded in YAML which uses the Earthquake Kamelet from the catalog, as shown below:

- route:
    from: "kamelet:earthquake-source"
    steps:
      - unmarshal:
          json: {}
      - log: "Earthquake with magnitude ${body[properties][mag]} at ${body[properties][place]}"

In the above example, the earthquake kamelet will be downloaded from github, and as well its required dependencies.
