Toolkits )
¶
Writing code is great, but there additional frameworks you can use to tap more directly into Atlan.
In this Toolkits section you will find details about these frameworks.
Internal use only
For now, these toolkits are only available for Atlanians 
. However, they should give a sense for our longer-term ambitions for developers.
-
Packages
Your integration or automation, available in Atlan's marketplace of packages.
-
Typedefs
Your unique metadata modeled and available as first-class objects in Atlan.
How they work¶
Our toolkits are mostly built on Pkl , a configuration language developed by Apple.
This allows you to develop your idea:
- Safely, based on a guard-railed set of options
- Independently from any specific programming language
- Offline from a running Atlan tenant
We can then automatically translate that into the necessary bindings for Atlan's:
- UI widgets
- Data model
- Orchestration plane
Get started¶
To get started, you'll need to install pkl and configure its plugin in your favorite IDE.
Install pkl¶
Start by installing the pkl CLI :
brew install pkl
curl -L -o pkl https://github.com/apple/pkl/releases/download/0.28.1/pkl-linux-aarch64
chmod +x pkl
curl -L -o pkl https://github.com/apple/pkl/releases/download/0.28.1/pkl-linux-amd64
chmod +x pkl
curl -L -o pkl https://github.com/apple/pkl/releases/download/0.28.1/pkl-alpine-linux-amd64
chmod +x pkl
curl -L -o jpkl https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/pkl-lang/pkl-cli-java/0.28.1/jpkl
chmod +x jpkl
Note the CLI command is jpkl
On Windows (or any other platform using the Java executable), the command is jpkl rather than pkl.
Configure in an IDE¶
Then configure pkl in your favorite IDE:
For now you'll have to rely on Pkl's own instructions .
