[![CI](https://github.com/doxxx93/kube-cel/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/doxxx93/kube-cel/actions)

Kubernetes [CEL](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/cel/) extension functions for Rust, built on top of [`cel`](https://crates.io/crates/cel).

Implements the Kubernetes-specific CEL libraries defined in [`k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/cel/library`](https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/cel/library) and [`cel-go/ext`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/cel-go/ext), enabling client-side evaluation of CRD validation rules.

## Installation

```toml
[dependencies]
kube-cel = "0.4"
cel = "0.12"
```

## Usage

```rust
use cel::{Context, Program};
use kube_cel::register_all;

let mut ctx = Context::default();
register_all(&mut ctx);

// String functions
let result = Program::compile("'hello'.upperAscii()")
    .unwrap().execute(&ctx).unwrap();

// Quantity comparison
let result = Program::compile("quantity('1Gi').isGreaterThan(quantity('500Mi'))")
    .unwrap().execute(&ctx).unwrap();

// Semver
let result = Program::compile("semver('1.2.3').isLessThan(semver('2.0.0'))")
    .unwrap().execute(&ctx).unwrap();
```

## CRD Validation Pipeline

With the `validation` feature, you can compile and evaluate `x-kubernetes-validations` CEL rules client-side — no API server required.

```toml
[dependencies]
kube-cel = { version = "0.4", features = ["validation"] }
```

```rust
use kube_cel::validation::Validator;
use serde_json::json;

let schema = json!({
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "spec": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "replicas": {
                    "type": "integer",
                    "x-kubernetes-validations": [
                        {"rule": "self >= 0", "message": "replicas must be non-negative"}
                    ]
                }
            },
            "x-kubernetes-validations": [
                {"rule": "self.replicas >= 1", "message": "at least one replica"}
            ]
        }
    }
});

let object = json!({"spec": {"replicas": -1}});

let validator = Validator::new();
let errors = validator.validate(&schema, &object, None);

assert_eq!(errors.len(), 2);
assert_eq!(errors[0].field_path, "spec");
assert_eq!(errors[1].field_path, "spec.replicas");
```

The validator walks the schema tree, compiles rules at each node, and evaluates them with `self` bound to the corresponding object value. Transition rules (referencing `oldSelf`) are supported by passing `old_object`.

### Schema-aware `format` support

Fields with `format: "date-time"` or `format: "duration"` in the schema are automatically converted to CEL `Timestamp` / `Duration` values, matching K8s API server behavior:

```rust
let schema = json!({
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "expiresAt": { "type": "string", "format": "date-time" },
        "timeout":   { "type": "string", "format": "duration" }
    },
    "x-kubernetes-validations": [
        {"rule": "self.expiresAt > timestamp('2024-01-01T00:00:00Z')", "message": "expired"},
        {"rule": "self.timeout <= duration('1h')", "message": "too long"}
    ]
});
```

Invalid strings gracefully fall back to `Value::String`.

### Field name escaping

JSON field names that are CEL reserved words or contain special characters are automatically escaped when converting to CEL map keys, matching K8s API server behavior:

| JSON field name | CEL access |
|----------------|------------|
| `namespace` | `self.__namespace__` |
| `foo-bar` | `self.foo__dash__bar` |
| `a.b` | `self.a__dot__b` |
| `x/y` | `self.x__slash__y` |
| `my_field` | `self.my__field` |

// Returns optional: none = valid, of([...errors]) = invalid
// K8s pattern: !format.<name>().validate(value).hasValue()
let result = Program::compile("!format.dns1123Label().validate('my-name').hasValue()")
    .unwrap().execute(&ctx).unwrap();
// Value::Bool(true)

// Dynamic format lookup
let result = Program::compile("!format.named('uuid').validate('550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000').hasValue()")

// Value::String("k8s.io~1my~0label")
```

| `named_format` | - | Named format validation (`format.dns1123Label()`, etc.) |
| `math` | - | Math functions (`math.ceil`, `math.abs`, bitwise, etc.) |
| `encoders` | `base64` | Base64 encode/decode |
| `validation` | `serde_json`, `serde`, `chrono` | CRD validation pipeline (compile + evaluate `x-kubernetes-validations`, `format: date-time/duration`) |

## Known Limitations

| Feature | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| `cel.bind(var, init, expr)` | CEL compiler macro — requires `cel` crate support |
| `<list>.sortBy(var, expr)` | Lambda evaluation — requires `cel` crate support |
| TwoVarComprehensions (`all(i,v,...)`, `transformList`, etc.) | CEL compiler macro — K8s 1.33+ |
| Authz library | Requires API server connection — outside client library scope |
