Common Expression Language in Kubernetes — Kubernetes format library

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The format library provides functions for validating common Kubernetes string formats. This can be useful in the messageExpression of validation rules to provide more specific error messages. The library provides format() functions for each named format, and a generic format.named() function. format.named(string) → ?Format: Returns the Format object for the given format name, if it exists. Otherwise, returns optional.none. format.() -> Format: Convenience functions for all the named formats are also available. For example, format.dns1123Label() returns the Format object for DNS-1123 labels. .validate(string) -> list?: Validates the given string against the format. Returns optional.none if the string is valid, otherwise an optional containing a list of validation error strings. The following format names are supported Available formats for the format library Format Name Description dns1123Label Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1123 label. dns1123Subdomain Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1123 subdomain. dns1035Label Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1035 label. qualifiedName Validates if the string is a valid qualified name. dns1123LabelPrefix Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1123 label prefix. dns1123SubdomainPrefix Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1123 subdomain prefix. dns1035LabelPrefix Validates if the string is a valid DNS-1035 label prefix. labelValue Validates if the string is a valid label value. uri Validates if the string is a valid URI. Uses the same pattern as isURL, but returns an error list. uuid Validates if the string is a valid UUID. byte Validates if the string is a valid base64 encoded string. date Validates if the string is a valid date in YYYY-MM-DD format. datetime Validates if the string is a valid datetime in RFC3339 format. Examples of CEL expressions using format library functions CEL Expression Purpose !format.dns1123Label().validate(self.metadata.name).hasValue() A validation rule that checks if an object's name is a valid DNS-1123 label. format.dns1123Label().validate(self.metadata.name).orValue([]).join("\\n") A messageExpression that returns specific validation errors for a field. If the field is valid, validate returns optional.none, and orValue provides an empty list, resulting in an empty string. See the Kubernetes Format library godoc for more information.
