Param Operations

Parameters are simply key/value pairs. However, DRP provides a strong typing model to enforce a specific type to a given Param. This ensures that Param values are valid elements as designed by the operator.

Creating a Param

It might be necessary to create a new parameter, an empty Param may be created by doing the following:

drpcli params create '{ "Name": "fluffy" }'

or

drpcli params create fluffy

The system will attempt to use any sent string as the Name of the Param. To be complete, it is required to also speciy the Type that param must be:

drpcli params create '{ "Description": "DNS domainname", "Name": "domainname", "Schema": { "type": "string" } }'

In this example, the type string was defined for the param.

Deleting a Param

It might be necessary to delete a parameter.

drpcli params destroy fluffy

Note

The destroy operation will fail if the param is in use.

Editing a Param

It might be necessary to update a Param. An example to add a type of string to our fluffy param above would be:

drpcli params update fluffy '{ "Schema": { "type": "string" } }'
