Using transformations in objects' names

[khmarochos]

Hello!

First of all, thank you for sharing your work. The whole idea of generating Helm charts on the fly according to a single values file is fantastic.

I'm trying to use HULL in my work, and I'd like to ask you for some advice.

Is it possible to assign an object's name by a variable set by a user? Something kind of that:

hull:
  objects:
    secret:
      _HT^something.secretName:
<...skipped...>
something:
  secretName: my-secret

The user sets something.secretName, and my chart creates a Secret with this name prefixed by the chart and release names.

Obviously, the straightforward way I showed in my example won't work. So is there a right way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

P.S. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Ah, I see: metadataNameOverride is what I actually need. Sorry for the disturbance.

Yes, the intention behind metadataNameOverride was exactly this use case. And no disturbance at all, if you have further questions or problems please share them.

Thanks for the kind words, have a nice christmas time!
