Status: alpha. This plugin is an early release and under active development.
A Headlamp plugin for kro (Kube Resource Orchestrator). It adds views for ResourceGraphDefinitions (RGDs), the resource APIs they generate, and the resources kro creates on their behalf — all updating live via Kubernetes watches.
- ResourceGraphDefinition list and detail: generated kind and API version, state, conditions, the composed resources ordered by kro's published topological order (with dependency and externalRef annotations), and a flattened SimpleSchema summary.
- Instance views for generated APIs: each Active RGD's generated CRD is discovered dynamically; instances get a list on the RGD detail page and a detail page with conditions, spec, and Headlamp's standard edit/delete actions.
- Sub-resources with resolved values: the resources kro created for an instance (found via kro's ownership labels), each with health, a link to its native Headlamp page, and the environment-resolved values that matter — PVC storageClassName, Deployment ready count, Service type.
- Map integration: a kro source for Headlamp's Map view showing RGDs, instances, and kro-managed resources; detail pages deep-link into the Map focused on the matching node.
- New Instance: opens Headlamp's YAML editor pre-filled with a minimal valid instance derived from the RGD's SimpleSchema.
- Graceful degradation: a friendly install pointer when kro is not on the cluster, and per-section RBAC degradation instead of broken pages.

Install from the Plugin Catalog once published to Artifact Hub, or install a release tarball into your Headlamp plugins directory.
Clone this repository, then:
cd kro
npm install
npm run startOpen your local Headlamp (desktop app or dev instance) and the "kro" section appears in the sidebar. To try the views against real data, install kro and apply an RGD — see the kro getting started guide.
