Continuum Pipeline Builder JS SDK

Use this JavaScript library to build Continuum Pipeline Definitions with code!

Continuum pipeline definitions are declarative in nature providing a configuration as code approach. Some people prefer their imperative programming languages and want to write code over configuration.

Meet PipelineBuilder.

Consider the example where a pipeline conditionally sets the status of a work item in your favorite ALM tool. The pipeline may look something like this:

{
    name: "pipeline as code",
    description: "description",
    phases: [
        {
            name: "phase name",
            stages: [
                {
                    name: "stage name",
                    steps: [
                        {
                            name: "",
                            plugin: {
                                args: {
                                    action: {
                                        args: {
                                            current_status: "None",
                                            instance_name: "VersionOne",
                                            number: "D-1234",
                                            status: "Ready"
                                        },
                                        label: 'VersionOne - Set Workitem Status',
                                        method: 'set_workitem_status',
                                        module: 'main',
                                        name: 'v1plugin'
                                    },
                                    else_action: {
                                        args: {
                                            current_status: "None",
                                            instance_name: "VersionOne",
                                            number: "D-1234",
                                            status: "Done"
                                        },
                                        label: 'VersionOne - Set Workitem Status',
                                        method: 'set_workitem_status',
                                        module: 'main',
                                        name: 'v1plugin'
                                    },
                                    expression: "epic.isClosed"
                                },
                                label: 'Utility - Conditional',
                                method: 'conditional',
                                module: 'utility',
                                name: 'utility'
                            },
                            when: "always"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This pipeline expressed conditional logic in a declarative way, which is very different from what we would see in most programming languages. The aid of a graphical user interface may have helped us reason about some of the details of this pipeline, However some may want to express this same pipeline with code. Let's do it!

import { create_stage, create_phase, create_pipeline, plugins } from './../src/pipeline';
const { utility, v1 } = plugins;

const set_to_ready = v1.set_workitem_status('S-12345', 'Ready', 'None', 'VersionOne', 'always');
const set_to_done = v1.set_workitem_status('S-12345', 'Done', 'None', 'VersionOne', 'always');

const pipeline = create_pipeline('pipeline as code', 'description', [
    create_phase('phase name', [
        create_stage('stage name', [
            utility.conditional('epic.isClosed', set_to_ready, set_to_done, 'always')
        ])
    ])
]);
