Hi everyone I'm developing a Rancher UI extension and planning to add it as a Top-Level Product. I wanted to ask: • From a top-level product extension, is it possible to access Kubernetes cluster resources (like pods, CRDs, etc.) using Rancher's API ? • If so, is there any documentation or example that shows how to do this properly?

You can, but it’s a bit hacky though…. You’ll have to find out what the URL is, then you can use the store action

management/request

, like:

this.$store.dispatch('management/request', { url: '/k8s/clusters/local/v1/pods?exclude=metadata.managedFields' });

Just replace

local

with the CLUSTER MANAGEMENT ID for the cluster you want to get those resource from

management.cattle.io.cluster

You can get the list of all those with:

this.$store.dispatch('management/findAll', { type: management.cattle.io.cluster })

If you want to work in the context of a cluster, you use the cluster store (the cluster is always the one you’ve navigated into, which the system get’s “automatically” and you can do:

this.$store.dispatch('cluster/find', { type: NODE, id: nodeId });

to get a specific

NODE

, or you can just do

this.$store.dispatch('cluster/findAll', { type: NODE });

to get all

NODE

. Same analogy goes for a top-level-product, but the store is the

management

one, like:

this.$store.dispatch('management/find', { type: SETTING, id: some-setting-id });

to get a specific

SETTING

, or you can just do

this.$store.dispatch('management/findAll', { type: SETTING });

to get all

SETTING

. Examples: https://github.com/rancher/kubewarden-ui - cluster-level https://github.com/rancher/elemental-ui - top-level

Thanks! I’ll give these a try and let you know how it goes
