Adding attributes to a devfile

Use devfile attributes to configure various features and properties according to user and tooling needs. Attributes are implementation-dependent and written in free-form YAML. The following devfile objects can have attributes:

  • metadata

  • components

  • commands

  • projects

  • starterProjects

Prerequisites
Procedure

  1. Define a custom attribute

    When no editor is specified, a default editor is provided. To represent this user-defined example, use the editorFree attribute as shown in the following example:

    Example 1. A devfile without an editor
    schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
  name: petclinic-dev-environment
  attributes:
     editorFree: true
components:
  - name: myapp
    kubernetes:
      uri: my-app.yaml
