camel validate normalize

Available as of Camel 4.20

Normalize YAML routes to canonical (explicit) form.

This command parses YAML routes and rewrites them in canonical form, expanding all shorthands and implicit expressions. For example, log: "${body}" becomes log: { message: "${body}" } and setBody: { simple: "Hello" } becomes setBody: { expression: { simple: { expression: "Hello" } } }.

The normalized output is valid against both the classic and canonical schemas.

See the YAML DSL Schema Variants documentation for details on the differences between the classic and canonical schemas.

Examples

Normalize a YAML route and print to console:

camel validate normalize myroute.yaml

Normalize and write to a file:

camel validate normalize --output normalized.yaml myroute.yaml

Normalize multiple files into a directory:

camel validate normalize --output normalized/ routes/*.yaml

Before and after

Given the following YAML route using classic shorthands:

- route:
    from:
      uri: timer:yaml
      steps:
        - setBody:
            simple: "Hello Camel from ${routeId}"
        - log: "${body}"

Running camel validate normalize myroute.yaml produces the canonical form:

- route:
    from:
      uri: timer:yaml
      steps:
        - setBody:
            expression:
              simple:
                expression: "Hello Camel from ${routeId}"
        - log:
            message: "${body}"

All shorthands and implicit expressions are expanded to their explicit equivalents. The output is valid against both the classic and canonical schemas.
