Statically generated components should support remote sources

[timfpark]

As a developer, I want to be able add Fabrikate components that remotely pull in a static resource.

For example, this Rook Cassandra Operator is completely specified statically in the project website and I would like to be able to directly pull in this static file from this remote URL at install time via a component that looks something like:

name: fabrikate-cassandra-rook
generator: static
source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rook/rook/master/cluster/examples/kubernetes/cassandra/operator.yaml

I can try to do this

Sorry, I need to suspend this issue for now. :(

Hey, I am willing to work on this. Can you provide some pointers?

This is what I could think of.

• add a new method - static
• source shall contain the static URL for the resource
• path, branch, version will be noop.

Hi
I think that your suggested solution is a good start.
Just to make sure, and what you say in the chat, it is "method" not "generator" as @timfpark suggested in the description of this issue.

Hey, isn't this already solved by #254? Looks like there was a duplicate issue #249.
