How can I generate ConfigMap from directory without create it?

Question

How can I generate ConfigMap from directory without create it?

If I use:

$ kubectl create configmap my-config --from-file=configuration/ -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
   data:
...

ConfigMap yaml output is displayed but my-config is created on current Kubernetes project context.

I would like only generate ConfigMap file, it is possible? Are there a kubectl create "dry" mode?

Best regards,
Stéphane

Solution

Just add --dry-run so:

$ kubectl create configmap my-config --from-file=configuration/ -o yaml --dry-run
