Getting Started

Dependencies

This library is currently available on maven central with:

libraryDependencies += "net.andimiller" %% "whales" % "0.13.0"

Imports

Make sure you have the standard cats imports.

import cats._, cats.implicits._

And the main cats-effect import.

import cats.effect._

Then you can also import this library.

import net.andimiller.whales._
import net.andimiller.whales.syntax._

Docker client

To make a docker client you simply call the Docker object with your effect type (see cats-effect to learn more about effect types).

Docker[IO]

This client itself is a resource, (since it internally keeps a spotify docker client with a pool), so it’s easiest if we use it in a for comprehension.

for {
  docker <- Docker[IO]
  nginx <- docker("nginx", "latest")
} yield nginx

The client has an apply method which takes arguments on what kind of docker image we want, if you’d like to see all available options see the DockerImage class, and the default parameters on the apply method.

You can also pass in a DockerImage if you’d rather work with the case class.

for {
  docker <- Docker[IO]
  nginx <- docker(DockerImage("nginx", "latest"))
} yield nginx
