rules_booking

Some Bazel rules we have built at Booking.com

Usage

Add the following lines to your WORKSPACE

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

GIT_SHA="<GIT_SHA>"

http_archive(
    name = "rules_booking",
    urls = [
        "https://github.com/bookingcom/rules_booking/archive/{}.tar.gz".format(GIT_SHA)
    ],
    strip_prefix = "rules_booking_{}".format(GIT_SHA)
)

Rules

remap_tar

Sometimes you need to deploy a layer of assets into a container image where all the content is static assets, in those cases is more convenient to use http_file than http_archive to download the remote assets in bulk, but http_file doesn't provide the convenient strip_prefix argument, so we create remap_tar that allows to replace the original package prefix with a prefix that's more suitable for your container image.

gitlab_http_archive and gitlab_http_file

Similar to http_archive and http_file but aimed for downloading assets from private gitlab repositories by using your own private tokens or CI job tokens

Developing

We use buildifier to format our Bazel rules, please run:

bazel run @//dev:buildifier
