boe create

The create command generates a new extension template with the specified name and type. This is useful for getting started with developing a new extension for Built On Envoy.

By default, it creates a go type extension, which is an HTTP filter extension. The generated template includes boilerplate code, a manifest file, and build configuration to help you build and install the extension.

Examples

Create a new Go HTTP filter extension:

boe create my-extension

Create an extension in a specific directory:

boe create my-extension --path ~/src/extensions

Create an extension with explicit type:

boe create my-extension --type go

Create a Rust dynamic module extension:

boe create my-extension --type rust

Extension Types

• go: An HTTP filter extension using the Envoy dynamic modules SDK for Go. Generates Go source files, Makefile, and Dockerfile for building and deploying.
• rust: An HTTP filter extension using the Envoy dynamic modules SDK for Rust. Generates Rust source files and Cargo.toml for building a dynamic library.
