Any way to compile multi packages into multi YAMLs?

[diogobaeder]

Hey folks!

First of all: KCL is amazing, I've been using it for many months now and it serves me very well!

One thing that's a bit of a dread, though, is that I have a project with multiple components, and, because each component is defined as a combination of KCL files that outputs one YAML for each component. And, although KCL itself is very fast, the fact that I use external libraries (k8s and argocd, specifically) is probably causing each compilation iteration to run slowly - just a few seconds, but multiplied by environments and components means it takes a lot of time in total.

So here's my question: is there a way to run KCL with a single command where it loops through multiple directories, outputting a YAML file for each of them, instead of a single one for the overall command execution?

Thanks!

Using Bash to loop over a directory.. ?

This is what I'm already doing, but it's very slow - probably because in each iteration it has to check (or download?) each dependency library or something like this (I haven't done any proper investigation yet). What I want is to launch KCL only once and have it do this loop for me, so that it doesn't need to re-download or re-check dependencies or anything like that.

I've been in a similar situation and found out that the json, as well as the yaml package, offer to dump contents to a file. You can just loop over your components and call the yaml.dump_to_file function.

# namespacesConfig is a list of objects with a "namespace" attribute (used below)
result = [yaml.dump_to_file(n, "my_folder/{}.yaml".format(n.namespace), ignore_private=True, ignore_none=True) for n in namespacesConfig]

Thanks @Dbzman , I'll try that!
