[Feature Request]: nuctl export functions to plaintext source code

[beasteers]

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to Nuclio

• Changing existing functionality in Nuclio

• Removing existing functionality in Nuclio

Problem Description

nuctl export functions outputs the function source code in base64.

This is fine, but if you're committing exports to source control, this won't give you nice diffs.

Feature Description

Add a flag nuctl export functions --source-encoding utf-8

This could write the source code as a multi-line string e.g. functionSourceCodeString: | ... instead of functionSourceCode

Then when importing, it could check for both keys and handle base64/utf-8 accordingly.

Alternative Solutions

It's relatively easy to postprocess the yaml on either side, but that involves having an additional script which is a bit cumbersome.

Additional Context

@beasteers Hey,

Thank you for this suggestion!
I think Nuclio already has a solution.

I recommend you looking at the page about code entry types in our documentation . If you need nice diffs, you can use git or github code-entry types, so you won't have any base64 code in your exported function, but only a repository and a branch and at the same time you will be able to see nice diffs in github/git.
