[Question] kpt function sdk golang no deep copy

[jdkuki]

I am looking at using the kpt sdk to generate some unique yamls from a base template using a krm function. My template is tracked as a KRM resource as I would like to combine a different set of config from configPath on the function call.

I have code like:

for _, o := range rl.Items {
  newObj := fn.NewEmptyKubeObject()
 // somehow copy o into newObj, then modify newObj
}

How can I make a deep copy of a KubeObject? I don't find anything in the godoc that seems to accomplish this. Apologies if this is a rather obvious task...

@yuwenma Can you take a look at this one?

This should work, but maybe @yuwenma has a better way:

for _, o := range rl.Items {
    newObj, err := fn.ParseKubeObject(o.String())
    if err != nil {
        ...
    }
}

Thanks @johnbelamaric . Yes, I think ParseKubeObject is the best approach right now.

Closing this as it appears to be resolved. Let us know if you have any further questions, and thanks so much for trying out the sdk.

Yes this a good solution for now, thank you!
