so for example i have
database:
name: x-a2d9f4
replicaCount: 1
repository: mysql
tag: 5.7
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
tier: database
app:
name: x-576a77
replicaCount: 1
repository: wordpress
tag: 5.2-php7.3
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
tier: frontend
global:
namespace: x-c0ecdb9f
env:
name: WORDPRESS_DB_HOST
value:and I want to do something like this
env:
name: WORDPRESS_DB_HOST
value: {{ .Values.database.name | lower }}All these are examples from the same values.yaml
is this possible in Helm?
Yes, you can achieve this using the 'tpl' function
The tpl function allows developers to evaluate strings as templates inside a template. This is useful to pass a template string as a value to a chart or render external configuration files. Syntax: {{ tpl TEMPLATE_STRING VALUES }}
values.yaml
database:
name: x-a2d9f4
env:
name: WORDPRESS_DB_HOST
value: "{{ .Values.database.name | upper }}"configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}-configmap
data:
some: {{ tpl .Values.env.value . }}output:
> helm template .
# Source: mychart/templates/configmap.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: release-name-configmap

some: X-A2D9F4
