This VSCode extension builds on top of Kubernetes VSCode extension. It extends the support for Helm related functionality.
Features
- Load templates of older Helm release revisions.
helm get ... does not support getting templates
- Preview rendered Helm templates including using custom overrides
Preview of Helm templates using custom values
Supports preview of rendered Helm template using custom values using the command Preview Template (using .helmpreview).
How does it work ?
It starts by looking for file .helmpreview in the root folder of the root chart containing the Helm template (languageId helm-template) open in the editor. You can write the helm template ... command with custom value overrides in the .helmpreview file. For example you can use the following command:
helm template -f override.yaml sample-release .
When the command Preview Template (using .helmpreview) is invoked it uses the command specified in .helmpreview file and appends --show-only editedtemplate.yaml to it, executes the command in the folder containing the .helmpreview file. For example:
helm template -f override.yaml sample-release . --show-only editedtemplate.yaml
The output is collected and shown in a temporary editor. It attempts to reuse the same temporary editor so you can invoke the preview command again and again. When a template is modified and saved and is being previewed then preview is updated automatically.
You can have multiple .helmpreview files e.g. DEV.helmpreview, PROD.helmpreview which have different helm template ... command in tme. In that case you will be prompted to select the file you want to use for preview.
Supports following commands on Helm release nodes in Cluster explorer:
