Helm Development - Flow Control If-Else

Step-01: Introduction

  • We can use if/else for creating conditional blocks in Helm Templates
  • eq: For templates, the operators (eq, ne, lt, gt, and, or and so on) are all implemented as functions.
  • In pipelines, operations can be grouped with parentheses ((, and )).
  • Additional Reference: Operators are functions

IF-ELSE Syntax

{{ if PIPELINE }}
  # Do something
{{ else if OTHER PIPELINE }}
  # Do something else
{{ else }}
  # Default case
{{ end }}

Step-02: Review values.yaml

# If, else if, else
myapp:
  env: prod

Step-03: Logic and Flow Control Function: and

# and Syntax
not .Arg

Step-04: Implement if-else for replicas with OR

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
{{- if not (eq .Values.myapp.env "prod") }}
  replicas: 1
{{- else }}  
  replicas: 6
{{- end }}
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: ghcr.io/stacksimplify/kubenginx:4.0.0
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Step-05: Verify if-else

# Change to Chart Directory
cd helmbasics

# Helm Template
helm template myapp1 . --set myapp.env=prod
helm template myapp1 . --set myapp.env=dev
helm template myapp1 . --set myapp.env=null

# Helm Install Dry-run 
helm install myapp1 . --dry-run

# Helm Install
helm install myapp1 . --atomic

# Verify Pods
helm status myapp1 --show-resources

# Uninstall Release
helm uninstall myapp1
