Template Strings

Template Strings are strings which are dynamically replaced by Preview during a deploy, allowing you to inject environment-specific values into your deployment. 
Preview supports the use of Template Strings in both for all chart values and Kubernetes manifest files under the ./preview directory.
For example, it is recommended to use the PREVIEWHQ_HOSTNAME as part of your application's Ingress specification:
# .preview/chart-values/
ingress:
  enabled: true
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
  path: /
  hosts:
    - host: ${PREVIEWHQ_HOSTNAME}
      paths:
        - /
  tls:
   - secretName: tls-secret
     hosts:
       - ${PREVIEWHQ_CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}
       - ${PREVIEWHQ_HOSTNAME}
There are 2 sets of Template Strings which can be utilized: one static set across all builds, and one set that is dynamically build based on image builds.

PREVIEWHQ_HOSTNAME
The hostname of the deployment, which will point to the root

PREVIEWHQ_CLUSTER_HOSTNAME
The hostname of the cluster which the deployment is deployed on
nrmitchi.envs.dev
PREVIEWHQ_NAMESPACE
The namespace which the deployment is deployed in to

PREVIEWHQ_REVISION
The git hash being deployed

Dynamic Template Strings
For each addition image specified in the images block of the configuration, Preview injects a PREVIEWHQ_CUSTOM_IMAGE_TAG_{} string, which is the Docker tag which was used for that custom build within the Docker image registry.
For example, if images is as follows:
images:
  - name: frontend
    dockerfile: ./src/react/Dockerfile
    context: ./src/react
  - name: backend
    dockerfile: ./src/flask/Dockerfile
    context: ./src/flask
The the following additional Templates Strings are available:
PREVIEWHQ_CUSTOM_IMAGE_TAG_FRONTEND
PREVIEWHQ_CUSTOM_IMAGE_TAG_BACKEND
