# ADR-001: Use React Context for State Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Accepted
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-02-12
|
||||
**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The Headlamp Polaris Plugin needs to fetch Polaris audit data once and share it across multiple components:
|
||||
- Dashboard view (cluster overview)
|
||||
- Namespaces list view
|
||||
- Namespace detail view (drawer)
|
||||
- Inline audit sections on resource detail pages
|
||||
- App bar score badge
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple state management approaches are available: Redux, Zustand, Jotai, Recoil, React Context (built-in), or component props with prop drilling.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constraints:**
|
||||
- Headlamp plugin environment does not allow adding external dependencies (peer dependencies only)
|
||||
- Redux, Zustand, Jotai, Recoil are not available in the plugin runtime
|
||||
- Plugin must work with Headlamp's existing React context (React 17+)
|
||||
- Bundle size should remain small (<50 KB)
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:**
|
||||
- Share `AuditData` object across all views without duplicate API calls
|
||||
- Support auto-refresh on user-configurable interval (1-30 minutes)
|
||||
- Handle loading and error states consistently
|
||||
- Minimal re-renders (data updates infrequently)
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
Use **React Context API** (built-in, no dependencies) for shared state management.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- `PolarisDataProvider` wraps all plugin routes
|
||||
- `usePolarisDataContext()` hook provides `{ data, loading, error, refresh }` to consumers
|
||||
- Single fetch shared across all views
|
||||
- Auto-refresh via `useEffect` + interval timer
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **No additional dependencies** - Plugins cannot add external libraries (Headlamp constraint)
|
||||
- ✅ **Simple implementation** - Single AuditData object, read-only, no complex mutations
|
||||
- ✅ **Built into React** - No learning curve, well-documented, stable API
|
||||
- ✅ **Small bundle impact** - 0 KB additional (built-in feature)
|
||||
- ✅ **Works with Headlamp** - Compatible with Headlamp's React version and plugin system
|
||||
- ✅ **TypeScript support** - Full type safety with `React.createContext<T>()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ **Less powerful for complex state** - No built-in middleware, time-travel debugging, or DevTools
|
||||
- ❌ **Potential for unnecessary re-renders** - All consumers re-render on context update
|
||||
- **Mitigated by:** Data updates every 5-30 minutes (low frequency), memoization not needed
|
||||
- ❌ **No built-in async handling** - Must implement loading/error states manually
|
||||
- **Mitigated by:** Simple `useState` + `useEffect` pattern sufficient
|
||||
|
||||
### Neutral
|
||||
|
||||
- Performance is excellent for this use case (infrequent updates, small consumer count)
|
||||
- Context providers work well for read-only or mostly-read state
|
||||
- Standard React pattern, familiar to contributors
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives Considered
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Redux
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Powerful state management with middleware
|
||||
- Excellent DevTools for debugging
|
||||
- Time-travel debugging
|
||||
- Well-established patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Redux is not available as a peer dependency in Headlamp plugins
|
||||
- Massive overkill for single AuditData object
|
||||
- Adds significant bundle size (~10-15 KB)
|
||||
- Requires additional boilerplate (actions, reducers, store)
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Rejected (dependency not available, too heavy)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Zustand
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Lightweight (~1 KB)
|
||||
- Simple API similar to `useState`
|
||||
- No provider boilerplate
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- External peer dependency (not available in plugin runtime)
|
||||
- Still adds bundle size
|
||||
- Unnecessary for read-only state
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Rejected (dependency not available)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Component Props (Prop Drilling)
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- No dependencies
|
||||
- Explicit data flow
|
||||
- TypeScript tracks prop types
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Prop drilling through 5+ component layers (index.tsx → route → view → subcomponent)
|
||||
- Duplicate fetches if not carefully managed
|
||||
- Refactoring nightmare if component tree changes
|
||||
- Each route would need its own fetch logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Rejected (poor code organization, maintenance burden)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 4: Global Variable / Module State
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- Simple to implement
|
||||
- No React dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- No reactivity (components don't re-render on data change)
|
||||
- No built-in loading/error handling
|
||||
- Breaks React's declarative model
|
||||
- Testing difficulties (global mutable state)
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Rejected (not idiomatic React, no reactivity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
**Context Definition:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface PolarisDataContextValue {
|
||||
data: AuditData | null;
|
||||
loading: boolean;
|
||||
error: string | null;
|
||||
refresh: () => void;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const PolarisDataContext = React.createContext<PolarisDataContextValue | undefined>(undefined);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Provider Implementation:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function PolarisDataProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
|
||||
const [data, setData] = useState<AuditData | null>(null);
|
||||
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
|
||||
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);
|
||||
const [refreshKey, setRefreshKey] = useState(0);
|
||||
|
||||
const refresh = useCallback(() => {
|
||||
setRefreshKey(k => k + 1);
|
||||
}, []);
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
// Fetch logic here
|
||||
// Auto-refresh on interval
|
||||
}, [refreshKey]);
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<PolarisDataContext.Provider value={{ data, loading, error, refresh }}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</PolarisDataContext.Provider>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Consumer Hook:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function usePolarisDataContext() {
|
||||
const context = useContext(PolarisDataContext);
|
||||
if (!context) {
|
||||
throw new Error('usePolarisDataContext must be used within PolarisDataProvider');
|
||||
}
|
||||
return context;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
**Success Metrics:**
|
||||
- ✅ All views share single fetch (verified via network tab - one request per refresh)
|
||||
- ✅ No duplicate API calls (verified via Kubernetes audit logs)
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-refresh works correctly (5-30 minute intervals)
|
||||
- ✅ Loading states consistent across views
|
||||
- ✅ Error handling consistent across views
|
||||
- ✅ Bundle size remains <50 KB (currently ~27 KB)
|
||||
|
||||
**Tested Scenarios:**
|
||||
- ✅ Initial load with loading spinner
|
||||
- ✅ Error handling (403, 404, network errors)
|
||||
- ✅ Manual refresh via button
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-refresh interval (configurable via settings)
|
||||
- ✅ Multiple views consuming same data (no duplicate fetches)
|
||||
- ✅ Navigation between routes (data persists)

# Architecture Decision Records
|
||||
|
||||
This directory contains Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant architectural choices made in the Headlamp Polaris Plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is an ADR?
|
||||
|
||||
An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences. AD Rs provide historical context for future developers and serve as documentation for why certain approaches were chosen.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Create an ADR
|
||||
|
||||
Create an ADR when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Making a significant architectural choice (e.g., state management approach)
|
||||
- Selecting between multiple technology options (e.g., React Context vs. Redux)
|
||||
- Establishing a pattern that impacts multiple components
|
||||
- Making a trade-off decision with non-trivial consequences
|
||||
- Introducing a new dependency or external integration
|
||||
- Defining security or performance constraints
|
||||
|
||||
## ADR Format
|
||||
|
||||
Each ADR follows this template (based on Michael Nygard's format):
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# ADR-NNN: Title
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: [Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded by ADR-XXX]

## ADR Index
|
||||
|
||||
| ADR | Title | Status | Date |
|
||||
|-----|-------|--------|------|

|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Additional ADRs documenting other significant decisions (service proxy approach, drawer navigation, MUI import restrictions) can be created following the template above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a New ADR
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Determine the next ADR number** (e.g., if last ADR is 004, new ADR is 005)
|
||||
2. **Create a new file**: `NNN-short-title.md` (e.g., `005-exemption-management.md`)
|
||||
3. **Use the template above** and fill in all sections
|
||||
4. **Add entry to this README** in the ADR Index table
|
||||
5. **Submit for review** via pull request
|
||||
|
||||
## ADR Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
- **Proposed**: ADR is drafted and under discussion
|
||||
- **Accepted**: Decision has been made and is currently in effect
|
||||
- **Deprecated**: Decision is no longer recommended but not yet superseded
|
||||
- **Superseded by ADR-XXX**: Decision has been replaced by a newer ADR

Render "No audit data available" message
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Structures
|
||||
|
||||
### AuditData Schema
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AuditData {
|
||||
PolarisOutputVersion: string; // "1.0"
|
||||
AuditTime: string; // ISO 8601 timestamp
|
||||
SourceType: string; // "Cluster"
|
||||
SourceName: string; // Cluster identifier
|
||||
DisplayName: string; // Human-readable name
|
||||
ClusterInfo: {
|
||||
Version: string; // K8s version
|
||||
Nodes: number;
|
||||
Pods: number;
|
||||
Namespaces: number;
|
||||
Controllers: number;
|
||||
};
|
||||
Results: Result[]; // Array of resource audit results
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
interface Result {
|
||||
Name: string; // Resource name
|
||||
Namespace: string; // Kubernetes namespace
|
||||
Kind: string; // "Deployment", "StatefulSet", etc.
|
||||
Results: ResultSet; // Resource-level checks
|
||||
PodResult?: {
|
||||
Name: string;
|
||||
Results: ResultSet; // Pod-level checks
|
||||
ContainerResults: {
|
||||
Name: string;
|
||||
Results: ResultSet; // Container-level checks
|
||||
}[];
|
||||
};
|
||||
CreatedTime: string; // ISO 8601 timestamp
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type ResultSet = Record<string, ResultMessage>;
|
||||
|
||||
interface ResultMessage {
|
||||
ID: string; // Check ID (e.g., "cpuLimitsMissing")
|
||||
Message: string; // Human-readable message
|
||||
Details: string[]; // Additional context
|
||||
Success: boolean; // true = passed, false = failed
|
||||
Severity: "ignore" | "warning" | "danger";
|
||||
Category: string; // "Security", "Efficiency", etc.
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Result Counts
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ResultCounts {
|
||||
total: number; // Total checks performed
|
||||
pass: number; // Checks that passed (Success: true)
|
||||
warning: number; // Failed checks with Severity: "warning"
|
||||
danger: number; // Failed checks with Severity: "danger"
|
||||
skipped: number; // Failed checks with Severity: "ignore"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Transformations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Aggregating Counts
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Input: AuditData.Results[]
|
||||
// Output: ResultCounts
|
||||
|
||||
function countResults(data: AuditData): ResultCounts {
|
||||
const counts = { total: 0, pass: 0, warning: 0, danger: 0, skipped: 0 };
|
||||
|
||||
for (const result of data.Results) {
|
||||
// Count resource-level checks
|
||||
countResultSet(result.Results, counts);
|
||||
|
||||
// Count pod-level checks
|
||||
if (result.PodResult) {
|
||||
countResultSet(result.PodResult.Results, counts);
|
||||
|
||||
// Count container-level checks
|
||||
for (const container of result.PodResult.ContainerResults) {
|
||||
countResultSet(container.Results, counts);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return counts;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function countResultSet(rs: ResultSet, counts: ResultCounts): void {
|
||||
for (const key in rs) {
|
||||
const msg = rs[key];
|
||||
counts.total++;
|
||||
if (msg.Success) {
|
||||
counts.pass++;
|
||||
} else if (msg.Severity === 'ignore') {
|
||||
counts.skipped++;
|
||||
} else if (msg.Severity === 'warning') {
|
||||
counts.warning++;
|
||||
} else if (msg.Severity === 'danger') {
|
||||
counts.danger++;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Computing Score
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Input: ResultCounts
|
||||
// Output: Score (0-100)
|
||||
|
||||
function computeScore(counts: ResultCounts): number {
|
||||
if (counts.total === 0) return 0;
|
||||
return Math.round((counts.pass / counts.total) * 100);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Examples:
|
||||
// { total: 100, pass: 90, ... } → 90
|
||||
// { total: 100, pass: 50, ... } → 50
|
||||
// { total: 0, pass: 0, ... } → 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Filtering by Namespace
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Input: AuditData, namespace string
|
||||
// Output: Result[] for that namespace
|
||||
|
||||
function filterResultsByNamespace(data: AuditData, namespace: string): Result[] {
|
||||
return data.Results.filter(r => r.Namespace === namespace);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Extracting Namespaces
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Input: AuditData
|
||||
// Output: Sorted array of unique namespace names
|
||||
|
||||
function getNamespaces(data: AuditData): string[] {
|
||||
const namespaces = new Set<string>();
|
||||
for (const result of data.Results) {
|
||||
if (result.Namespace) {
|
||||
namespaces.add(result.Namespace);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return Array.from(namespaces).sort();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Caching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Implementation:**
|
||||
- Data fetched once and stored in React Context
|
||||
- Shared across all plugin views (no duplicate fetches)
|
||||
- Cached until manual refresh or auto-refresh interval
|
||||
|
||||
**Cache Invalidation:**
|
||||
- Manual refresh button click
|
||||
- Auto-refresh interval elapses
|
||||
- Settings change (dashboard URL)
|
||||
|
||||
**No Persistence:**
|
||||
- Data NOT persisted to localStorage
|
||||
- Each browser session fetches fresh data
|
||||
- No offline mode
|
||||
|
||||
**Future Enhancement:**
|
||||
- IndexedDB caching for offline access
|
||||
- Incremental updates (fetch only changed namespaces)
|
||||
- Service Worker for background refresh
|
||||
|
||||

# Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
Key architectural choices and their rationale for the Headlamp Polaris Plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Service Proxy vs. Direct Access
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use Kubernetes service proxy, not direct ClusterIP access
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin needs to access Polaris dashboard API
|
||||
- Two options: Direct ClusterIP access or Kubernetes service proxy
|
||||
-Headlamp already has K8s API credentials
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Use service proxy path: `/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Headlamp already has K8s API credentials (service account or user token)
|
||||
- Service proxy leverages existing RBAC (no new credentials needed)
|
||||
- Works with Headlamp's token auth and OIDC
|
||||
- Simpler deployment (no additional network policies for plugin)
|
||||
- Consistent with Headlamp's architecture (all API calls go through K8s API)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Simpler RBAC, works with user tokens, no new credentials
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Longer URL path, requires `services/proxy` permission
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- Direct ClusterIP access → Rejected (requires new credentials, network policies)
|
||||
- External Polaris URL → Supported as optional feature (custom URL setting)
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. React Context vs. Redux/Zustand
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use React Context for state management
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin needs to share Polaris audit data across multiple views
|
||||
- Options: React Context, Redux, Zustand, or component props
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Use React Context with `PolarisDataProvider`
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
1. **Simple state:** Single AuditData object, no complex mutations
|
||||
2. **Read-only:** No transactions, undo/redo, or optimistic updates
|
||||
3. **Headlamp constraints:** Cannot add external dependencies (Redux not bundled)
|
||||
4. **Performance:** Data changes infrequently (5-30 minute refresh interval)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** No dependencies, simple API, built-in React feature
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** All consumers re-render on data change (acceptable for infrequent updates)
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- Redux → Rejected (not available in plugin environment)
|
||||
- Zustand → Rejected (requires external dependency)
|
||||
- Component props → Rejected (prop drilling, duplicate fetches)
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Drawer Navigation vs. Dedicated Routes
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use drawer for namespace detail, not dedicated route
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Namespaces list needs drill-down to per-namespace detail
|
||||
- Options: Dedicated route (`/polaris/ns/:namespace`) or drawer overlay
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Use drawer with URL hash (`/polaris/namespaces#kube-system`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- **Better UX:** Drawer overlays table, preserves scroll position and context
|
||||
- **URL hash:** Preserves navigation state, supports browser back/forward
|
||||
- **Keyboard shortcuts:** Escape key to close drawer
|
||||
- **Sidebar limitation:** Headlamp sidebar doesn't support 3-level nesting
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Better UX, preserves context, keyboard navigation
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Hash-based routing (not "true" route), drawer accessibility considerations
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- Dedicated route → Rejected (loses table context, requires back navigation)
|
||||
- Modal → Rejected (less natural for drill-down, no URL state)
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. No MUI Direct Imports
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Never import from `@mui/material` or `@mui/icons-material`
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin needs UI components (buttons, icons, etc.)
|
||||
- Headlamp uses MUI but doesn't expose full library to plugins
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Use only Headlamp CommonComponents or HTML elements with inline styles
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Importing MUI causes `createSvgIcon undefined` runtime error
|
||||
- Headlamp plugin environment provides limited MUI exports
|
||||
- CommonComponents cover 90% of use cases
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- Use `StatusLabel`, `SectionBox`, `SimpleTable` from CommonComponents
|
||||
- Use standard HTML elements (`<button>`, `<div>`) with inline styles
|
||||
- Use theme-aware CSS variables (`--mui-palette-background-paper`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** No runtime errors, smaller bundle, consistent with Headlamp
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Limited component variety, inline styles verbose
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- Bundle full MUI → Rejected (huge bundle size, version conflicts)
|
||||
- Use Headlamp's MUI exports → Rejected (incomplete, undocumented)
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Two-Level Sidebar Nesting
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Sidebar has "Polaris" → "Overview" and "Namespaces" (2 levels max)
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin needs hierarchical navigation
|
||||
- Headlamp sidebar supports limited nesting depth
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Use 2-level sidebar: `Polaris` (parent) → `Overview`, `Namespaces` (children)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Headlamp sidebar `Collapse` component only supports 2 levels
|
||||
- Deeper nesting (Polaris → Namespaces → <each namespace>) doesn't work
|
||||
- Sidebar collapse is route-based, not click-to-toggle
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:**
|
||||
- Namespace navigation via table (NamespacesListView)
|
||||
- Clickable namespace buttons open drawer (not new route)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Works within Headlamp constraints
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Can't have dynamic per-namespace sidebar entries
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- Dynamic sidebar with namespace entries → Rejected (Headlamp limitation)
|
||||
- Flat sidebar (no nesting) → Rejected (poor UX for plugin with multiple views)
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. TypeScript Strict Mode
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Enable all TypeScript strict checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"strict": true,
|
||||
"noImplicitAny": true,
|
||||
"strictNullChecks": true,
|
||||
"strictFunctionTypes": true,
|
||||
"strictPropertyInitialization": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Catch errors at compile time (not runtime)
|
||||
- Better IDE support and autocomplete
|
||||
- Enforces type safety (no `any`, no implicit unknowns)
|
||||
- Easier refactoring (type errors surface immediately)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Fewer runtime errors, better maintainability, self-documenting code
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** More verbose code, steeper learning curve
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Auto-Refresh Default: 5 Minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Default refresh interval is 5 minutes (configurable 1-30 min)
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin needs to refresh Polaris data periodically
|
||||
- Polaris audits typically run every 10-30 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Default to 5 minutes, allow user to configure (1 / 5 / 10 / 30 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- Balance between data freshness and API load
|
||||
- Polaris audits don't change frequently (10-30 min intervals)
|
||||
- 5 minutes provides reasonably fresh data without excessive API calls
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Reasonable default, user-configurable, low API load
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Not real-time (acceptable for audit data)
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives Considered:**
|
||||
- WebSocket/SSE for real-time → Rejected (Polaris dashboard doesn't support)
|
||||
- 1 minute default → Rejected (unnecessary API calls, audit data changes slowly)
|
||||
- 30 minute default → Rejected (too stale for interactive dashboard)
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Read-Only Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Plugin is read-only (no write operations)
|
||||
|
||||
**Context:**
|
||||
- Plugin could potentially modify Polaris configuration or add exemptions
|
||||
- Write operations require additional RBAC permissions (PATCH, CREATE)
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:**
|
||||
Plugin only performs GET requests (read-only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
- **Security:** Minimal RBAC footprint (`get` on `services/proxy` only)
|
||||
- **Simplicity:** No mutation logic, error handling for writes, or rollback
|
||||
- **Polaris design:** Exemptions managed via annotations (outside plugin scope)
|
||||
- **Future:** Can add writes later if user demand exists
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pros:** Minimal permissions, simpler code, fewer failure modes
|
||||
- ❌ **Cons:** Cannot add exemptions via UI (must edit annotations manually)
|
||||
|
||||
**Future Enhancement:**
|
||||
- Add PATCH permission for workload annotations
|
||||
- Implement `ExemptionManager` component (UI exists, not integrated)
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Sidebar Nesting Depth
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitation:** Headlamp sidebar supports only 2 levels
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** Cannot have dynamic per-namespace sidebar entries
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use table with drawer navigation
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Skipped Checks Visibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitation:** Skipped checks (annotation-based exemptions) not fully counted
|
||||
|
||||
**Reason:** Polaris API omits exempted checks from `results.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** "Skipped" count only reflects checks with `Severity: "ignore"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Documented:** README, tooltip on skipped count, KNOWN_LIMITATIONS section
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. No Real-Time Updates
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitation:** Data refreshes on interval (1-30 min), not real-time
|
||||
|
||||
**Reason:** Polaris dashboard doesn't support WebSocket/SSE
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Manual refresh button, configurable interval
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Single Cluster Support
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitation:** Plugin shows data for current cluster only
|
||||
|
||||
**Reason:** Headlamp's multi-cluster support is route-based (`/c/<cluster>/...`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** Must switch clusters in Headlamp to see different cluster's data
|
||||
|
||||

# Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
High-level architecture of the Headlamp Polaris Plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Headlamp Polaris Plugin is a **read-only dashboard** that surfaces Fairwinds Polaris audit results within the Headlamp UI. It fetches data from the Polaris dashboard API via the Kubernetes service proxy and presents it in a hierarchical navigation structure.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Characteristics:**
|
||||
- **Read-only:** No write operations to cluster or Polaris
|
||||
- **Service proxy based:** Uses K8s API server proxy to reach Polaris
|
||||
- **React Context for state:** Shared data fetch across components
|
||||
- **Headlamp plugin API:** Integrates via official plugin system
|
||||
- **Type-safe:** Full TypeScript with strict mode
|
||||
|
||||

## State Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Why React Context?
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision:** Use React Context instead of Redux/Zustand
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
1. **Simple state:** Single AuditData object shared across views
|
||||
2. **Read-only:** No complex mutations or transactions
|
||||
3. **Headlamp constraints:** Plugin cannot add dependencies (Redux not bundled)
|
||||
4. **Performance:** Data changes infrequently (refresh interval 1-30 min)
|
||||
|
||||
### Context Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface PolarisDataContextValue {
|
||||
data: AuditData | null; // Audit results or null if loading/error
|
||||
loading: boolean; // True during initial fetch
|
||||
error: string | null; // Error message if fetch failed
|
||||
refresh: () => void; // Manual refresh function
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Fetching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Initial fetch:** On first mount of any component using the context
|
||||
2. **Auto-refresh:** Based on user setting (default 5 minutes)
|
||||
3. **Manual refresh:** Via refresh button in UI
|
||||
4. **Caching:** Data persists in context until refresh (no per-route refetch)
|
||||
|
||||
### localStorage Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Settings persisted in localStorage:
|
||||
- **`polaris-plugin-refresh-interval`**: Number (seconds), default 300
|
||||
- **`polaris-plugin-dashboard-url`**: String, default service proxy path
|
||||
|
||||
No sensitive data stored in localStorage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Headlamp Plugin API
|
||||
|
||||
**Version:** ≥ v0.13.0
|
||||
|
||||
**Registration Functions Used:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Sidebar navigation
|
||||
registerSidebarEntry({ parent, name, label, url, icon })
|
||||
|
||||
// Routes
|
||||
registerRoute({ path, sidebar, name, exact, component })
|
||||
|
||||
// App bar actions
|
||||
registerAppBarAction(component)
|
||||
|
||||
// Plugin settings
|
||||
registerPluginSettings(name, component, displaySaveButton)
|
||||
|
||||
// Resource detail sections
|
||||
registerDetailsViewSection(component)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Changes in v0.13.0:**
|
||||
- `registerDetailsViewSection` now takes 1 argument (component), not 2 (name, component)
|
||||
- `registerAppBarAction` now takes 1 argument (component), not 2 (name, component)
|
||||
|
||||
### Headlamp CommonComponents
|
||||
|
||||
**Used Components:**
|
||||
- `SectionBox` - Card-like container with title
|
||||
- `SectionHeader` - Page header with title
|
||||
- `StatusLabel` - Color-coded status badges
|
||||
- `NameValueTable` - Key-value table layout
|
||||
- `SimpleTable` - Data table with sorting
|
||||
- `Drawer` - Right-side overlay panel
|
||||
- `Loader` - Loading spinner
|
||||
|
||||
**Router:**
|
||||
- `Router.createRouteURL()` - Generate plugin route URLs
|
||||
- React Router's `useHistory()`, `useParams()`, `useLocation()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubernetes API (via ApiProxy)
|
||||
|
||||
**Used for:**
|
||||
- Fetching Polaris results: `ApiProxy.request(dashboardUrl + 'results.json')`
|
||||
- No direct K8s API calls (all data from Polaris dashboard)
|
||||
|
||||
**RBAC Required:**
|
||||
- `get` on `services/proxy` for `polaris-dashboard` in `polaris` namespace
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Bundle Size
|
||||
|
||||
- **Current:** ~27 KB minified (gzip: ~7.6 KB)
|
||||
- **Target:** Keep under 50 KB to ensure fast loading
|
||||
- **Strategy:** No heavy dependencies, tree-shaking enabled
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Fetching
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lazy loading:** Data not fetched until user navigates to plugin
|
||||
- **Caching:** Single fetch shared across all views (React Context)
|
||||
- **Refresh strategy:** User-controlled interval prevents excessive API calls
|
||||
|
||||
### Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
- **React.memo:** Not needed (data changes infrequently)
|
||||
- **Virtual scrolling:** Not needed (namespace/resource lists typically <100 items)
|
||||
- **Component splitting:** Lazy load views if bundle grows significantly
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
- **[Data Flow](data-flow.md)** - Detailed data flow diagrams and sequences
|
||||
- **[Design Decisions](design-decisions.md)** - Architecture decision records
|
||||
- **[ADRs](adr/README.md)** - Formal Architecture Decision Records
