如何使用 helm 从目录创建 ConfigMap

Question

I have a folder with 3 json files in a postman folder. How can I create a ConfigMap using a Helm yaml template?

kubectl create configmap test-config --from- 
file=clusterfitusecaseapihelm/data/postman/

The above solution works, but I need this as yaml file as I am using Helm.

Inside a Helm template, you can use the Files.Glob and AsConfig helper functions to achieve this:

{{- (.Files.Glob "postman/**.json").AsConfig | nindent 2 }}

Or, to give a full example of a Helm template:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: test-config
data:
  {{- (.Files.Glob "postman/**.json").AsConfig | nindent 2 }}

See the documentation (especially the section on "ConfigMap and secrets utility functions") for more information.
