mkdocs-crd-viewer 0.2.1

MkDocs plugin and macros helper for rendering Kubernetes CRD schemas as interactive trees.

MkDocs CRD Viewer

mkdocs-crd-viewer renders Kubernetes CRD schemas as interactive, expandable tree views inside MkDocs pages.

The package provides:

• crd-viewer MkDocs plugin for CSS/JS asset wiring.
• crd_viewer(...) macro for rendering CRD schemas from Markdown.

Install

uv sync

Or install directly from GitHub with uv add:

uv add "mkdocs-crd-viewer @ git+https://github.com/eda-labs/mkdocs-crd-viewer@main"

Replace @main with a tag if you want a fixed release (for example @v0.1.0).

Configure

In your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - crd-viewer
  - macros:
      modules:
        - mkdocs_crd_viewer.macros

If you need custom Jinja delimiters, the demo config in demo/mkdocs.yml shows a working setup with -{{ ... }}-.
