Using VS Code

Requirements

Do you already use Visual Studio Code? If you don’t, you will need to install it first.

To be able to easily launch and debug your integrations locally, we also suggest to install Camel JBang.

Install the VS Code extension

a) Using the Extension Pack for Apache Camel

For the best user experience and for additional supportive features, we suggest installing the Extension Pack for Apache Camel, which also includes the Kaoto VS Code extension.
  • Open VS Code
  • Open the Extensions view on the left side panel (or press CTRL+SHIFT+X)
  • Type Extension Pack for Apache Camel in the search field
  • Click the Install button

“Install Extension Pack”

b) Using only the Kaoto extension

Be aware that choosing this path will leave out very useful functionality provided by other extensions of the Extension Pack for Apache Camel. Your user experience will not be the same.
  • Open VS Code
  • Open the Extensions view on the left side panel (or press CTRL+SHIFT+X)
  • Type Kaoto in the search field
  • Click the Install button

“Install Kaoto”

The VS Code Kaoto extension is embedding Kaoto as an editor.

You can find more information on how to get started on the wiki page of the VS Code Kaoto project.

Using Docker

The only pre-requisite is to have docker installed.

docker pull quay.io/kaotoio/kaoto-app:main
docker run -p8080:8080 quay.io/kaotoio/kaoto-app:main

You can now access Kaoto on http://localhost:8080. If you specified a different port in the -p parameter above you need to adapt the URL.

Always stop the containers when finishing using Kaoto, so you don’t have containers dangling:

docker stop kaoto-app
