So that you don't have to write values.schema.json by hand from scratch for your Helm 3 charts
Helm plugin to generate json schema for values yaml
Nothing fancy about the code, all the heavy lifting is done by:
- go-jsonschema-generator - for generating JSON schema. It's a fork of this. Thanks to @mcuadros
- go-yaml - for YAML parsing
- cobra - for CLI stuff
- The Go stdlib - for everything else
The plugin works with both helm v2 and v3 versions
$ helm plugin install https://github.com/karuppiah7890/helm-schema-gen.git
karuppiah7890/helm-schema-gen info checking GitHub for tag '0.0.4'
karuppiah7890/helm-schema-gen info found version: 0.0.4 for 0.0.4/Darwin/x86_64
karuppiah7890/helm-schema-gen info installed ./bin/helm-schema-gen
Installed plugin: schema-gen
The plugin works with both helm v2 and v3 versions
Let's take a sample values.yaml like the below
replicaCount: 1
image:
repository: nginx
pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
imagePullSecrets: []
nameOverride: ""
fullnameOverride: ""
serviceAccount:
# Specifies whether a service account should be created
create: true
# The name of the service account to use.
# If not set and create is true, a name is generated using the fullname template
name:
podSecurityContext: {}
# fsGroup: 2000
securityContext: {}
# capabilities:
# drop:
# - ALL
# readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
# runAsNonRoot: true
# runAsUser: 1000
service:
type: ClusterIP
port: 80
ingress:
enabled: false
annotations: {}
# kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
# kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
hosts:
- host: chart-example.local
paths: []
tls: []
# - secretName: chart-example-tls
# hosts:
# - chart-example.local
resources: {}
# We usually recommend not to specify default resources and to leave this as a conscious
# choice for the user. This also increases chances charts run on environments with little
# resources, such as Minikube. If you do want to specify resources, uncomment the following
# lines, adjust them as necessary, and remove the curly braces after 'resources:'.
# limits:
# cpu: 100m
# memory: 128Mi
# requests:
# cpu: 100m
# memory: 128Mi
nodeSelector: {}
tolerations: []
affinity: {}
Now if you use the plugin and pass the values.yaml to it, you will
get the json schema for the values.yaml
$ helm schema-gen values.yaml
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/schema#",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"affinity": {
"type": "object"
},
"fullnameOverride": {
"type": "string"
},
"image": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"pullPolicy": {
"type": "string"
},
"repository": {
"type": "string"
}
}
},
"imagePullSecrets": {
"type": "array"
},
"ingress": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"annotations": {
"type": "object"
},
"enabled": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"hosts": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"host": {
"type": "string"
},
"paths": {
"type": "array"
}
}
}
},
"tls": {
"type": "array"
}
}
},
"nameOverride": {
"type": "string"
},
"nodeSelector": {
"type": "object"
},
"podSecurityContext": {
"type": "object"
},
"replicaCount": {
"type": "integer"
},
"resources": {
"type": "object"
},
"securityContext": {
"type": "object"
},
"service": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"port": {
"type": "integer"
},
"type": {
"type": "string"
}
}
},
"serviceAccount": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"create": {
"type": "boolean"
},
"name": {
"type": "null"
}
}
},
"tolerations": {
"type": "array"
}
}
}
You can save it to a file like this
$ helm schema-gen values.yaml > values.schema.json
Put them all in GitHub issues 😁 I value every feedback. I really want to make sure that my tools help people and does not annoy people. I want my tools to enable people and not hinder them. I'll do my best to help you if you face any hindrance because of using my tools! :)
