Components

Components are the units of work in an Orch environment.

Each component has:

• a name
• a type, which selects an adapter
• a runner
• optional dependencies
• optional source files
• optional config
• optional outputs
• optional lifecycle hooks

components:
  setup:
    type: script
    runner: local
    source:
      embedded: |
        echo "token=abc" >> "$ORCH_OUTPUT_ENV"
    outputs:
      - name: token
        sensitive: true

Dependencies

Components run in dependency order using depends_on.

components:
  api:
    depends_on:
      - database

Destroy runs in reverse state order.

Outputs

Components can expose outputs to later components:

env:
  DATABASE_URL: "${database.outputs.url}"

Sensitive outputs are available during the same up process, but they are not persisted in state.
