§Fiberplane Templates

Programmatically generate Fiberplane Notebooks for repeatable workflows

§Overview

Fiberplane Templates are built with the Jsonnet data templating language.

This crate includes:

  • Fiberplane Jsonnet library with functions for creating notebooks (API Docs)
  • Rust library for expanding templates into notebooks and for converting existing notebooks into templates

§Quickstart

The Fiberplane CLI is the recommended way to interact with Templates (see the docs or run fp help templates).

§Structure of a Template

Most Fiberplane Templates export a Jsonnet function that accepts some parameters and creates a notebook using the helper functions provided by the Fiberplane Jsonnet library.

local fp = import 'fiberplane.libsonnet';
local c = fp.cell;
local fmt = fp.format;

// Parameters are named and can have default values
function(incidentName='API Outage')
  fp.notebook
    .new('Incident Response for: ' + incidentName)
    .setTimeRangeRelative(minutes=60)
    .addCells([
      // The library exposes helper functions for creating every cell type
      c.h1('Heading'),
      c.text(
        // There are also helper functions for formatting text
        fmt.bold('Hello World!')
      )
    ])

See the templates repository for more detailed, use-case-specific templates.

§Snippets

Snippets are smaller pieces of Jsonnet code that produce reusable arrays of notebook cells, rather than whole notebooks.

local fp = import 'fiberplane.libsonnet';
local c = fp.cell;
local fmt = fp.format;

fp.snippet([
  c.h2('I am a snippet'),
  c.code('Here is some code'),
])
