Are there any examples of using helm chart with pulumi but with quite a complex list of custom values need to be added to the chart ? <@U84HBHXS8> <@UB3BGTV63> <@UDEJ1F5SQ>

there are a couple examples of “simple” usages

I'm looking to add tolerations and pod affinities and mount paths which I'm not sure how it's going to treat it

It would be really nice to have a tool to convert helm values.yaml into values as needed for pulumi as input

<@UGY2Z440N> Pulumi will do whatever Helm does, right?

I’m not sure I understand the question.

No I meant converting the yaml formatted values into the pulumi code as a utility

You can use `JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("values.yml"))` and just pass that into `new helm.v2.Chart`, right?

So as of now, I'm confused about how to add blocks like this:
```
  affinity:
    nodeAffinity:
      requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
        nodeSelectorTerms:
        - matchExpressions:
            - key: key
              operator: NotIn
              values:
              - value
```

I see what you are saying but I thought pulumi supports adding values right into the code right ?

For example:
```
const prometheusAdapter = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart("prometheus-adapter", {
    version: "0.2.171",
    namespace: "kube-system",
    chart: "prometheus-adapter",
    values: {
        prometheus: {
            url: "<http://prometheus-operator-prometheus.kube-system.svc>"
        },
    },
}, { providers: { kubernetes: cluster.provider } });
```

```
const prometheusAdapter = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart("prometheus-adapter", {
    version: "0.2.171",
    namespace: "kube-system",
    chart: "prometheus-adapter",
    values: JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("values.yml")),
}, { providers: { kubernetes: cluster.provider } });
```

No need for a special tool, just read the file

<@UBAJ7TD53> Is that `JSON` a special one that also parses yaml?!

<@UGGR2EYP3> it's just a built in JavaScript function

<@UGGR2EYP3> I had to basically run a yaml to json converter first and then this worked

Note that you can also use an NPM package to parse YAML - like <https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-yaml>.

I guess I was a bit confused about that `JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('values.yml'))`. :slightly_smiling_face:
