It can be noob question or confusing but I really did not understand the functionality of ${{values.service}}-config.yaml.
Meanwhile. I am trying to parse entityRef where the default value is component:default/watchtower and I only need watchtower.
So my question, what is the best of passing this value to the ${{values.service}}-config.yaml and use watchtower there something like ${{ value.service }}
Here is the folder structure
.
├── files
│ └── configs
│ └── services
│ └── ${{values.service}}-config.yaml
└── template.yaml
Here is what I have ${{values.service}}-config.yaml.
apiVersion: backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: ${{ values.service }}_config.
title: ${{ values.service | capitalize }} Config
description: ${{ values.service | capitalize }} Config
spec:
configs:
- services:
- ${{ values.service }}
annotations:
'backstage.io/techdocs-ref': 'dir:.'
type: service
owner: ${{ values.owner }}
lifecycle: production
Here is my Template
apiVersion: scaffolder.backstage.io/v1beta3
kind: Template
metadata:
name: update-service-entity-owner
title: Update Service Entity Owner
description: Update the owner of a service entity in the catalog
..
parameters:
- title: Update Service Entity Owner
required:
- entityRef
- owner
properties:
entityRef:
type: string
title: Entity Reference
description: The entity reference (e.g., `component:default/watchtower`)
ui:field: EntityPicker
ui:disabled: true
...
steps:
- id: extract-service-name
name: Extract Service Name
action: debug:log
input:
message: "Extracted service name: ${{ parameters.entityRef.split('component:default/')[1] }}"
result: ${{ parameters.entityRef.split('component:default/')[1] }}
