Using built-in tools to construct pipeline code

One of the key strengths of Jenkins is its Declarative Pipeline, a user-friendly approach to defining Pipeline as Code. While the Declarative Pipeline syntax simplifies pipeline creation, the process can still involve understanding and correctly implementing various sections and directives that we saw earlier. To alleviate this challenge, Jenkins introduces a simple tool known as the Declarative Directive Generator. Additionally, as development teams strive for efficient and error-free pipeline creation, Jenkins offers another powerful feature known as the Snippet Generator. This tool, embedded within the Jenkins user interface, serves as a guiding light, enabling users to generate customized pipeline code snippets effortlessly. In the following section, we will look at both tools, beginning with the Declarative Directive Generator. So, let’s get started.
