Templating (deprecated) ¶

Legacy reference ¶

The legacy nais/deploy action uses Handlebars 3.0 syntax as templating language. Both the template and variable file supports either YAML or JSON syntax.

A practical example follows. Create a nais.yaml file:

yaml

apiVersion: nais.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: {{app}}
  namespace: {{team}}
spec:
  ingresses:
  
  {{#each ingresses as |url|}}
    - {{url}}
  {{/each}}

Now, create a vars.yaml file containing variables for your deployment:

yaml

app: myapplication
team: myteam
ingresses:
  - https://myapplication.nav.no
  - https://tjenester.nav.no/myapplication

Run the nais validate tool to see the final results:

bash

$ nais validate --verbose --vars vars.yaml nais.yaml
[📝] Setting template variable 'team' to 'myteam'
[📝] Setting template variable 'app' to 'myapplication'
[📝] Setting template variable 'ingresses' to '[https://myapplication.nav.no https://tjenester.nav.no/myapplication]'
[📝] Setting template variable 'namespace' to 'myteam'
[🖨️] Printing "app.yaml"...
---
apiVersion: nais.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: myapplication
  namespace: myteam
spec:
  image: europe-north1-docker.pkg.dev/nais-management-id/myteam/myapplication:latest
  ingresses:
    - https://myapplication.nav.no
    - https://tjenester.nav.no/myapplication

[✅] "app.yaml" is valid
