Exporting the CRD

Once we have our custom resource defined, we may want to export these CRDs so that we can install the Helm charts. To do so, we can use the CustomResourceDefinitionFactory to create the CRD and then serialize it using the serializer of your choice:

var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
    .WithNamingConvention(CamelCaseNamingConvention.Instance) // Use camel case for property names
    .IgnoreFields()
    .ConfigureDefaultValuesHandling(DefaultValuesHandling.OmitNull) // Omit null values
    .Build();

var crdFactory = new CustomResourceDefinitionFactory();
var crd = crdFactory.Create<JupyterNotebookInstance>();
crd.ApiVersion = "apiextensions.k8s.io/v1";
crd.Kind = "CustomResourceDefinition";
return serializer.Serialize(crd);

Alternatively, you may want to install this directly using the Kubernetes API:

CustomResourceDefinitionFactory crdFactory = new CustomResourceDefinitionFactory();
var crd = crdFactory.Create<TestKubernetesObject>();
var genericClient = new GenericClient(client, "apiextensions.k8s.io", "v1", "customresourcedefinitions");
var createdCrd = await genericClient.CreateAsync<V1CustomResourceDefinition>(crd);
