# Custom Jsonnet Compiler
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a custom Jsonnet compiler built with Go. It wraps the standard `go-jsonnet` library and adds a native function `helmTemplate` to support rendering Helm charts directly within Jsonnet.
|
|
|
|
## `helmTemplate` Native Function
|
|
|
|
The `helmTemplate` function allows you to render a Helm chart located on the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
### Signature
|
|
|
|
```jsonnet
|
|
native("helmTemplate")(name, chartPath, opts)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `name`: The release name.
|
|
- `chartPath`: The path to the Helm chart directory (containing `Chart.yaml`). **Crucial:** This path must be relative to the directory containing the file that calls `helmTemplate`. When using Bazel external repositories, this often means navigating up to the execution root (e.g., `../../external/repo_name`).
|
|
- `opts`: A configuration object.
|
|
- `calledFrom`: (Required) The path of the file calling the function. Usually `std.thisFile`. The compiler uses this to resolve relative paths.
|
|
- `nameFormat`: (Optional) Format string for resource names.
|
|
- `values`: (Optional) Values to pass to the Helm chart.
|
|
- `includeCRDs`: (Optional) Boolean, default `true`.
|
|
- `namespace`: (Optional) Namespace for the release.
|
|
|
|
### Usage Example
|
|
|
|
```jsonnet
|
|
local helm = std.native("helmTemplate");
|
|
|
|
helm("my-release", "../../external/my_chart_repo", {
|
|
calledFrom: std.thisFile,
|
|
namespace: "default",
|
|
values: {
|
|
replicaCount: 2,
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Bazel Integration
|
|
|
|
This compiler is registered as a custom toolchain in `//tools/jsonnet_compiler:helm_jsonnet_toolchain` and used by `rules_jsonnet`.
|
|
|
|
### Imports and JPaths
|
|
|
|
When using `rules_jsonnet`, the `imports` attribute adds directories to the Jsonnet search path (`-J`).
|
|
- `imports = ["."]` adds the package directory.
|
|
- `deps` on `jsonnet_library` targets adds their roots to the search path.
|
|
|
|
When importing files from external repositories (like `tanka-util`), ensure the import path matches the structure within that repository. For example, if `tanka-util` library is at the root of the `@github_com_grafana_jsonnet_libs_tanka_util` repo, you can import it as `import "tanka-util/main.libsonnet"` provided the repo root is in the search path (which `deps` handles).
