Importing Existing YAML

Chant can parse existing Config Connector YAML manifests and generate typed TypeScript source files.

How it works

Input YAML → parse → generate TypeScript → export typed resources

The importer reads multi-document YAML, identifies Config Connector resources by their cnrm.cloud.google.com apiVersion, and generates corresponding typed constructor calls.

Example

Input YAML:

apiVersion: storage.cnrm.cloud.google.com/v1beta1
kind: StorageBucket
metadata:
  name: my-bucket
spec:
  location: US
  uniformBucketLevelAccess: true

Generated TypeScript:

import { Bucket } from "@intentius/chant-lexicon-gcp";

export const myBucket = new Bucket({
  metadata: { name: "my-bucket" },
  location: "US",
  uniformBucketLevelAccess: true,
});

Limitations

The import pipeline:

• Only handles Config Connector resources (cnrm.cloud.google.com apiVersion)
• Non-CC resources (standard K8s Deployments, Services) are filtered out
• Resource references are preserved as literal values, not typed refs
• Multi-document YAML is fully supported
