docker-avro-tools

Make avro-tools available via a Docker container.

Example

Say we have a file called tests/resources/AccountService.avdl that contains the following IDL code:

@namespace("org.sample")
protocol AccountService {

    record Account {
    long id;
    string name;
    union {null, string} description = null;
    }

    Account addAccount(string name, union {null, string} description);
}

Then running the following command:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --volume "$( pwd )/tests/resources:/mnt/idl" \
  --volume /tmp:/mnt/schemas \
  ghcr.io/cbdq-io/avro-tools:1.12.0 \
  idl2schemata /mnt/idl/AccountService.avdl /mnt/schemas

will create a file called /tmp/Account.avsc with the following contents:

{
  "type" : "record",
  "name" : "Account",
  "namespace" : "org.sample",
  "fields" : [ {
    "name" : "id",
    "type" : "long"
  }, {
    "name" : "name",
    "type" : "string"
  }, {
    "name" : "description",
    "type" : [ "null", "string" ],
    "default" : null
  } ]
}
