This kernel enables you to run Apache Camel routes in Jupyter notebooks.

• Prerequisites
• Supported Camel route languages
• Supported Camel components
• Installing
• Build from source

• Jupyter
• Java >= 11

All route languages supported by Camel K except Kotlin are supported by ICamel. See the following links to learn how to write a Camel route with each language.

• Groovy
• JavaScript
• Java
• XML
• YAML

The opinionated default language for ICamel is JavaScript. To use other languages than JavaScript or XML, prepend a comment line // language=... at the beginning of each cell.

• Groovy

  // language=groovy
  from('timer:tick')
      .process { it.in.body = 'Hello Camel K!' }
      .to('log:info')

• Java

  // language=java
  import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
  
  public class Sample extends RouteBuilder {
      @Override
      public void configure() throws Exception {
          from("timer:tick")
              .setBody()
                .constant("Hello Camel K!")
              .to("log:info");
      }
  }

• YAML

  - from:
    uri: "timer:tick"
    steps:
      - set-body:
          constant: "Hello Camel K!"
      - to: "log:info"

At this moment, only components that are included in camel-core are supported. Automatic downloading of Camel component dependencies will be implemented in a future version.

Download the latest icamel-0.x-runner.jar from https://github.com/tadayosi/icamel/releases.

curl -LO https://github.com/tadayosi/icamel/releases/download/icamel-0.4.0/icamel-0.4.0-runner.jar

Then create a directory camel under the Jupyter kernels directory:

mkdir -p `jupyter --data-dir`/kernels/camel

and copy icamel-0.x-runner.jar into the directory:

cp icamel-0.x-runner.jar `jupyter --data-dir`/kernels/camel/

Finally, create a file kernel.json with the following content under the camel kernel directory. Note <your-camel-kernel-dir> needs to be substituted with the actual path (e.g. /home/<username>/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/camel):

{
  "argv": [
    "java",
    "-jar",
    "<your-camel-kernel-dir>/icamel-0.x-runner.jar",
    "{connection_file}"
  ],
  "display_name": "Camel",
  "language": "camel",
  "interrupt_mode": "message",
  "env": {
  }
}

See the example JSON file kernel.json for more configuration options.

Run the following command:

mvn clean install
