Loading Helm Chart

Kosko supports loading manifests from Helm charts. You have to install the Helm CLI before using this package.

@kosko/helm uses the helm template command to render Helm chart templates. Most options of helm template command are supported. See API documentation for available options.

Under the hood, @kosko/helm uses @kosko/yaml to load YAML, which means the loadChart function supports all options of the loadString function. See loading Kubernetes YAML for more details.
