템플릿

이 부분은 모범사례 가이드의 일부로서 템플릿을 자세히 알아본다.

templates/의 구조

The templates/ directory should be structured as follows:

  • Template files should have the extension .yaml if they produce YAML output. The extension .tpl may be used for template files that produce no formatted content.
  • Template file names should use dashed notation (my-example-configmap.yaml), not camelcase.
  • Each resource definition should be in its own template file.
  • Template file names should reflect the resource kind in the name. e.g. foo-pod.yaml, bar-svc.yaml

정의된 템플릿의 이름

Defined templates (templates created inside a {{ define }} directive) are globally accessible. That means that a chart and all of its subcharts will have access to all of the templates created with {{ define }}.

For that reason, all defined template names should be namespaced.

Correct:

{{- define "nginx.fullname" }}
{{/* ... */}}
{{ end -}}

Incorrect:

{{- define "fullname" -}}
{{/* ... */}}
{{ end -}}

It is highly recommended that new charts are created via helm create command as the template names are automatically defined as per this best practice.

템플릿 형식

Templates should be indented using two spaces (never tabs).

Template directives should have whitespace after the opening braces and before the closing braces:

Correct:

{{ .foo }}
{{ print "foo" }}
{{- print "bar" -}}

Incorrect:

{{.foo}}
{{print "foo"}}
{{-print "bar"-}}

Templates should chomp whitespace where possible:

foo:
  {{- range .Values.items }}
  {{ . }}
  {{ end -}}

Blocks (such as control structures) may be indented to indicate flow of the template code.

{{ if $foo -}}
  {{- with .Bar }}Hello{{ end -}}
{{- end -}}

However, since YAML is a whitespace-oriented language, it is often not possible for code indentation to follow that convention.

생성된 템플릿의 화이트스페이스

It is preferable to keep the amount of whitespace in generated templates to a minimum. In particular, numerous blank lines should not appear adjacent to each other. But occasional empty lines (particularly between logical sections) is fine.

This is best:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: example
  labels:
    first: first
    second: second

This is okay:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job

metadata:
  name: example

  labels:
    first: first
    second: second

But this should be avoided:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job

metadata:
  name: example





  labels:
    first: first

    second: second

주석 (YAML 주석 vs. 템플릿 주석)

Both YAML and Helm Templates have comment markers.

YAML comments:

# This is a comment
type: sprocket

Template Comments:

{{- /*
This is a comment.
*/ -}}
type: frobnitz

Template comments should be used when documenting features of a template, such as explaining a defined template:

{{- /*
mychart.shortname provides a 6 char truncated version of the release name.
*/ -}}
{{ define "mychart.shortname" -}}
{{ .Release.Name | trunc 6 }}
{{- end -}}

Inside of templates, YAML comments may be used when it is useful for Helm users to (possibly) see the comments during debugging.

# This may cause problems if the value is more than 100Gi
memory: {{ .Values.maxMem | quote }}

The comment above is visible when the user runs helm install --debug, while comments specified in {{- /* */ -}} sections are not.

템플릿과 템플릿 출력에서 JSON 사용하기

YAML is a superset of JSON. In some cases, using a JSON syntax can be more readable than other YAML representations.

For example, this YAML is closer to the normal YAML method of expressing lists:

arguments:
  - "--dirname"
  - "/foo"

But it is easier to read when collapsed into a JSON list style:

arguments: ["--dirname", "/foo"]

Using JSON for increased legibility is good. However, JSON syntax should not be used for representing more complex constructs.

When dealing with pure JSON embedded inside of YAML (such as init container configuration), it is of course appropriate to use the JSON format.
