Camel JBang usage

Prerequisites

You’ve installed JBang.
You have executed the following command:

jbang app install camel@apache/camel

Supposing you have a file named route.yaml with this content:

- route:
    from:
      uri: "kamelet:timer-source"
      parameters:
        period: 10000
        message: 'test'
      steps:
        - to:
            uri: "kamelet:log-sink"

You can now run it directly through the following command

camel run route.yaml

Camel K Environment Usage

This section describes how you can use the data-type-action.

kind: Pipe
metadata:
  name: data-type-action-pipe
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
      name: kafka-source
      properties:
        bootstrapServers: localhost:9092
        topic: mytopic
        user: kafka

Save the data-type-action-pipe.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.
Run the action by using the following command:
```
kubectl apply -f data-type-action-pipe.yaml
```

Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the action by using the following command:

kamel bind channel:mychannel -p "step-0.format=The Data Type Format" data-type-action

This command creates the Kamelet Pipe in the current namespace on the cluster.
