# Transformer Configurations
Kustomize creates new resources by applying a series of transformations to an original
set of resources. Kustomize provides the following default transformers:
- annotations
- images
- labels
- name reference
- namespace
- prefix/suffix
- variable reference
A `fieldSpec` list, in a transformer's configuration, determines which resource types and which fields
within those types the transformer can modify.
## FieldSpec
FieldSpec is a type that represents a path to a field in one kind of resource.
```yaml
group: some-group
version: some-version
kind: some-kind
path: path/to/the/field
create: false
```
If `create` is set to `true`, the transformer creates the path to the field in the resource if the path is not already found. This is most useful for label and annotation transformers, where the path for labels or annotations may not be set before the transformation.
## Images transformer
The default images transformer updates the specified image key values found in paths that include
`containers` and `initcontainers` sub-paths.
If found, the `image` key value is customized by the values set in the `newName`, `newTag`, and `digest` fields.
The `name` field should match the `image` key value in a resource.
Example kustomization.yaml:
```yaml
images:
- name: postgres
newName: my-registry/my-postgres
newTag: v1
- name: nginx
newTag: 1.8.0
- name: my-demo-app
newName: my-app
- name: alpine
digest: sha256:25a0d4
```
Image transformer configurations can be customized by creating a list of `images` containing the `path` and `kind` fields.
The images transformation tutorial shows how to specify the default images transformer and customize the [images transformer configuration](images/README.md).
## Prefix/suffix transformer
The prefix/suffix transformer adds a prefix/suffix to the `metadata/name` field for all resources. Here is the default prefix transformer configuration:
```yaml
namePrefix:
- path: metadata/name
```
Example kustomization.yaml:
```yaml
namePrefix:
alices-
nameSuffix:
-v2
```
## Labels transformer
The labels transformer adds labels to the `metadata/labels` field for all resources. It also adds labels to the `spec/selector` field in all Service resources as well as the `spec/selector/matchLabels` field in all Deployment resources.
Example:
```yaml
commonLabels:
- path: metadata/labels
create: true
- path: spec/selector
create: true
version: v1
kind: Service
- path: spec/selector/matchLabels
create: true
kind: Deployment
```
Example kustomization.yaml:
```yaml
commonLabels:
someName: someValue
owner: alice
app: bingo
```
## Annotations transformer
The annotations transformer adds annotations to the `metadata/annotations` field for all resources.
Annotations are also added to `spec/template/metadata/annotations` for Deployment,
ReplicaSet, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, Job, and CronJob resources, and `spec/jobTemplate/spec/template/metadata/annotations`
for CronJob resources.
Example kustomization.yaml
```yaml
commonAnnotations:
oncallPager: 800-555-1212
```
## Name reference transformer
Name reference transformer's configuration is different from all other transformers. It contains a list of `nameReferences`, which represent all of the possible fields that a type could be used as a reference in other types of resources. A `nameReference` contains a type such as ConfigMap as well as a list of `fieldSpecs` where ConfigMap is referenced in other resources. Here is an example:
```yaml
kind: ConfigMap
version: v1
fieldSpecs:
- kind: Pod
version: v1
path: spec/volumes/configMap/name
- kind: Deployment
path: spec/template/spec/volumes/configMap/name
- kind: Job
path: spec/template/spec/volumes/configMap/name
```
Name reference transformer's configuration contains a list of `nameReferences` for resources such as ConfigMap, Secret, Service, Role, and ServiceAccount. Here is an example configuration:
```yaml
nameReference:
- kind: ConfigMap
version: v1
fieldSpecs:
- path: spec/volumes/configMap/name
version: v1
kind: Pod
- path: spec/containers/env/valueFrom/configMapKeyRef/name
version: v1
kind: Pod
# ...
- kind: Secret
version: v1
fieldSpecs:
- path: spec/volumes/secret/secretName
version: v1
kind: Pod
- path: spec/containers/env/valueFrom/secretKeyRef/name
version: v1
kind: Pod
```
## Customizing transformer configurations
In addition to the default transformers, you can create custom transformer configurations.
This tutorial shows how to create custom transformer configurations:
- [support a CRD type](crd/README.md)
- add extra fields for variable substitution
- add extra fields for name reference
## Supporting escape characters in CRD path
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
foo.k8s.io/bar: baz
```
Kustomize supports escaping special characters in path, e.g `metadata/annotations/foo.k8s.io\/bar`
