Concealing editors

Learn how to conceal Che editors. This is useful when you want to hide selected editors from the Dashboard UI, e.g. hide the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and have only Visual Studio Code - Open Source visible.

Prerequisites

An active kubectl session with administrative permissions to the Kubernetes cluster. See Overview of kubectl.
jq. See Downloading jq.

Procedure

An editor ID has the following format: publisher/name/version. Find out the IDs of the available editors:

kubectl exec deploy/che-dashboard -n eclipse-che  \
    -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/dashboard/api/editors | jq -r '[.[] | "\(.metadata.attributes.publisher)/\(.metadata.name)/\(.metadata.attributes.version)"]'

Configure the CheCluster Custom Resource. See Using the CLI to configure the CheCluster Custom Resource.
