Kubernetes: How to set boolean type variable in configMap

Question

I want to set a boolean variable in configMap (or secret):

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: env-config
  namespace: mlo-stage
data:
  webpack_dev_         


        

Answer 1

Values in a ConfigMap must be key-value string values or files.

Change:

data:
  webpack_dev_server: false

To:

data:
  webpack_dev_server: "false"

To your question:

what should I do if I want to pass a boolean as value?

You may handle this in the application, transform from string to bool.
