- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)
Create a connection between components in an application template. - EXAMPLES
-
To create the connection
my-connection
in componentmy-component
of application templatemy-app-template
, spacemy-space
, projectmy-project
and locationus-central1
with a destination componentother-component
, run:gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create my-connection --component=my-component --application-template=my-app-template --space=my-space --project=my-project --location=us-central1 --destination-component-uri=other-component
Or run:
gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create my-connection --component=my-component --application-template=my-app-template --space=my-space --project=my-project --location=us-central1 --destination-component-uri=projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/spaces/my-space/applicationTemplates/my-app-template/components/other-component
Or run:
gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/spaces/my-space/applicationTemplates/my-app-template/components/my-component/connections/my-connection --destination-component-uri=projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/spaces/my-space/applicationTemplates/my-app-template/components/other-component
To create the connection
my-connection
with a parameter key-value pair oftype:connection-type
in componentmy-component
of application templatemy-app-template
, spacemy-space
, projectmy-project
and locationus-central1
with a destination componentother-component
, run the following shorthand example:gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create my-connection --component=my-component --application-template=my-app-template --space=my-space --project=my-project --location=us-central1 --destination-component-uri=other-component --parameters=key=type,value=connection-type
Or run the following JSON example:
gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create my-connection --component=my-component --application-template=my-app-template --space=my-space --project=my-project --location=us-central1 --destination-component-uri=other-component --parameters='[{"key": "type", "value": "connection-type"}]'
Or create a YAML or JSON file with the parameters and run the following file example:
gcloud alpha design-center spaces application-templates components connections create my-connection --component=my-component --application-template=my-app-template --space=my-space --project=my-project --location=us-central1 --destination-component-uri=other-component --parameters=my-parameters.yaml

group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some
attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the
project
attribute:-
provide the argument
connection
on the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--project
on the command line; -
set the property
core/project
.
To set the
location
attribute:-
provide the argument
connection
on the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--location
on the command line.
To set the
space
attribute:-
provide the argument
connection
on the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--space
on the command line.
To set the
application-template
attribute:-
provide the argument
connection
on the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument

on the command line.
This must be specified.
CONNECTION
-
ID of the connection or fully qualified identifier for the connection.
To set the
connection
attribute:-
provide the argument
