# Data Source: {{ .Name }}

Render chart templates locally.

`helm_template` renders chart templates locally and exposes the rendered manifests in the data source attributes. `helm_template` mimics the functionality of the `helm template` command.

The arguments aim to be identical to the `helm_release` resource.

For further details on the `helm template` command, refer to the [Helm documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_template/).
