🗳️ Store

It allows to pass you custom fields from helmwave.yml to values.

It works when you call $ helmwave build

depends_on

It allows waiting releases

It works when you call $ helmwave up

Example for 3-tier application

graph LR; frontend --> backend --> db;

Your helmwave will

releases:
  - name: frontend
    depends_on: backend

  - name: backend
    depends_on: db

  - name: db
    allow_failure: false

When allow_failure is set true. It allows the installation to proceed.

🔖 Tags

It allows you to choose releases for build

It works with next options when you call $ helmwave build:

--tags value, -t value  It allows you choose releases for build. Example: -t tag1 -t tag3,tag4 [$HELMWAVE_TAGS]
--match-all-tags        Match all provided tags (default: false) [$HELMWAVE_MATCH_ALL_TAGS]

Matching with tags

Suppose we have next helmwave.yml with 4 releases.

  1. redis-a
  2. redis-b
  3. memcached-a
  4. memcached-b

repositories:
- name: bitnami
  url: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

releases:
- name: redis-a
  namespace: test
  chart:
    name: bitnami/redis
  tags:
  - a
  - redis

- name: redis-b
  namespace: test
  chart:
    name: bitnami/redis
  tags:
  - b
  - redis

- name: memcached-a
  namespace: test
  chart:
    name: bitnami/redis
  tags:
  - a
  - memcached


- name: memcached-b
  namespace: test
  chart:
    name: bitnami/memcached
  tags:
  - b
  - memcached

Match all redis

helmwave build -t redis
[🙃 aka INFO]: 🏗 Plan
        releases: 
          - redis-a@test
          - redis-b@test

Match the group a

helmwave build -t a 
[🙃 aka INFO]: 🏗 Plan
        releases: 
          - redis-a@test
          - memcached-b@test

Match multiply group.

If you know SQL. It looks like that:

SELECT * FROM releases WHERE tag = "redis" OR tag = "a"
helmwave build -t redis -t a
[🙃 aka INFO]: 🏗 Plan
        releases: 
          - redis-a@test
          - redis-b@test
          - memcached-a@test

All that was above, we used the logical OR operator. If you need strongly logic with AND you should use --match-all-tags flag. This flag changes logic for query releases.

If you know SQL. It looks like that:

SELECT * FROM releases WHERE tag = "redis" AND tag = "a"
helmwave build -t redis -t a --match-all-tags
[🙃 aka INFO]: 🏗 Plan
        releases: 
          - redis-a@test

createnamespace

if true Helmwave will create namespace for release.
