Kubectl Context

What#

Display the currently active Kubernetes context name and namespace name.

Sample Configuration#

{
  "type": "kubectl",
  "style": "powerline",
  "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
  "foreground": "#000000",
  "background": "#ebcc34",
  "template": " \uFD31 {{.Context}}{{if .Namespace}} :: {{.Namespace}}{{end}} "
}

Properties#

display_error: boolean - show the error context when failing to retrieve the kubectl information - defaults to false
parse_kubeconfig: boolean - parse kubeconfig files instead of calling out to kubectl to improve performance - defaults to false

Template (info)#

default template

{{ .Context }}{{ if .Namespace }} :: {{ .Namespace }}{{ end }}

Properties#

.Context: string - the current kubectl context
.Namespace: string - the current kubectl context namespace
.User: string - the current kubectl context user
.Cluster: string - the current kubectl context cluster

Tips#

It is common for the Kubernetes "default" namespace to be used when no namespace is provided. If you want your prompt to render an empty current namespace using the word "default", you can use something like this for the template:

{{.Context}} :: {{if .Namespace}}{{.Namespace}}{{else}}default{{end}}
