# patchesJson6902

Patch resources using the json 6902 standard

Each entry in this list should resolve to a kubernetes object and a JSON patch that will be applied to the object. The JSON patch is documented at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902

target field points to a kubernetes object within the same kustomization by the object’s group, version, kind, name and namespace. path field is a relative file path of a JSON patch file. The content in this patch file can be either in JSON format as

     [
       {"op": "add", "path": "/some/new/path", "value": "value"},
       {"op": "replace", "path": "/some/existing/path", "value": "new value"}
     ]

or in YAML format as

    - op: add
      path: /some/new/path
      value: value
    - op: replace
      path: /some/existing/path
      value: new value

    apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
    kind: Kustomization

    patchesJson6902:
    - target:
        version: v1
        kind: Deployment
        name: my-deployment
      path: add_init_container.yaml
    - target:
        version: v1
        kind: Service
        name: my-service
      path: add_service_annotation.yaml

The patch content can be an inline string as well:

    apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
    kind: Kustomization

    patchesJson6902:
    - target:
        version: v1
        kind: Deployment
        name: my-deployment
      patch: |-
        - op: add
          path: /some/new/path
          value: value
        - op: replace
          path: /some/existing/path
          value: "new value"
