Create/Get a custom kubernetes resource - go

Question

I want to create a custom kubernetes resource with go. The application is deployed in the kubernetes cluster. I want to create e.g. the followng resource:
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
name: add-response-header
config:
add:
headers:
- "demo: injected-by-kong"
plugin: response-transformer
So far I always created the 'standard' resources e.g. a secret with the following code:
CreateSecret(name string, data map[string]string) error {
confs, err := rest.InClusterConfig()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
clientset, err = kubernetes.NewForConfig(confs)
i := clientset.CoreV1()
if _, err := i.Secrets(namespace).Create(&v1.Secret{
TypeMeta: metav1.TypeMeta{
Kind: "Secret",
APIVersion: "v1",
},
ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
Name: name,
},
StringData: data,
Type: "Opaque",
}); err != nil {
return err
}
}
In addition I tried to get a resource with the following code:
b, err := clientset.RESTClient().Get().Namespace(namespace).Resource("KongPlugin").DoRaw()
I get the following err:
the server could not find the requested resource (get KongPlugin)
If I make a request at the command line k get KongPlugin I can see all the resources.
NAME PLUGIN-TYPE AGE
add-proxy-headers request-transformer 3h34m
So how can view the custom resoources?

For RESTClient 👇🏼
Get:
You have to fully specify path to you custom resource.
Use fluent interface
data, err := clientset.RESTClient().
Get().
AbsPath("/apis/<api>/<version>").
Namespace("<namespace>").
Resource("kongplugins").
Name("kongplugin-sample").
DoRaw(context.TODO())
or specify manually
data, err := clientset.RESTClient().
Get().
AbsPath("/apis/<api>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/kongplugins/kongplugin-sample").
DoRaw(context.TODO())
You can find AbsPath in selfLink of custom resource.
Create:
For example, you can post marshaled data use AbsPath
kongPlugin := &KongPlugin{
TypeMeta: metav1.TypeMeta{
APIVersion: "<api>/<version>",
Kind: "KongPlugin",
},
ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
Name: "kongplugin-sample",
Namespace: "<namespace>",
},
...}}
body, err := json.Marshal(kongPlugin)
data, err := clientset.RESTClient().
Post().
AbsPath("/apis/<api>/<version>/namespaces/<namespace>/kongplugins").
Body(body).
DoRaw(context.TODO())
because arg of the method Body(obj interface{}) is an empty interface, you can use different types of arguments according to documentation:
k8s.io/client-go/rest - func (*Request) Body
