# helm-dagger
helm-dagger is a lightweight library that helps users to compile Helm charts
using custom values files. It simplifies the process of customizing Kubernetes
deployments for different environments or configurations. This library uses a
custom delimiter in the values files to avoid conflicts with Helm's default
delimiter.
## Features
- Customizable delimiters for the values files
- Lightweight and easy to integrate into your projects
- Allows using Helm charts with custom values files programmatically
## Dependencies
This library requires Docker to be installed.
## Usage
### 1. Import Helm-Dagger
Import the helm-dagger library into your project:
```bash
go get git.front.kjuulh.io/kjuulh/helm-dagger
```
```go
import (
"context"
helmdagger "git.front.kjuulh.io/kjuulh/helm-dagger"
)
```
### 2. Prepare your chart and values files
Store your chart and values files in a known directory. In this example, the
chart files are stored in the "test_data/nginx" directory, and the custom values
file is stored in the "test_data/nginx.values.yaml" file.
### 3. Call the Compile function
The Compile function is the main function to generate an output directory with
the customized chart. It accepts the following parameters:
- `ctx`: a context.Context instance
- `client`: a dagger.Client instance
- `chartPath`: the path to the chart directory
- `valuesFilePath`: the path to the custom values file
```go
helmOutput, err := helmdagger.Compile(ctx, client, "test_data/nginx", "test_data/nginx.values.yaml")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
```
### 4. Export the customized chart
To export the customized chart, call the `Export` method on the returned
helmOutput:
```go
exported, err := helmOutput.Export(ctx, "test_data/dist")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if exported {
log.Println("Helm chart successfully exported to test_data/dist")
} else {
log.Fatal("Failed to export Helm chart")
}
```
### 5. Verify the chart
Check the output directory to see the compiled Helm chart:
```go
dir, err := os.ReadDir("test_data/dist/nginx/templates")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("Found %d templates in the output directory", len(dir))
```
## Example
An example of using helm-dagger to compile a Helm chart with a custom values
file can be found in the test file:
```go
package helmdagger_test
import (
(...) // Import statements
func TestHelmDagger(t *testing.T) {
(...) // Test setup
helmoutput, err := daggerhelm.Compile(ctx, client, "test/test_data/nginx", "test/test_data/nginx.values.yaml")
assert.NoError(t, err)
exported, err := helmoutput.Export(ctx, "test/test_data/dist")
assert.NoError(t, err)
assert.True(t, exported)
dir, err := os.ReadDir("test/test_data/dist/nginx/templates")
assert.NoError(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, 2, len(dir))
}
```
Now you can use Helm-Dagger to compile Helm charts with custom values files
programmatically, making it easier to manage different configurations for your
Kubernetes deployments.
