Support `helm template | kubectl apply -f -` #915

Draft is an excellent local development tool, but many production kubernetes (and openshift) installations do not use Tiller. Although Helm 3 will be getting rid of Tiller, adding helm template | kubectl apply -f - for the Helm 2 version of Draft would increase adoption.

Love this idea. Is the right place for this here or with Helm?

danmikita commented 5 years ago

My thought is that since draft currently utilizes the Helm go package, which doesn't have a clean template implementation (the template cmd is pretty much a hodge-podge of the functions leading up to the install cmd), it would need to be manually implemented in Draft. That being said - with Helm 3 and the removal of Tiller imminent, this issue may be resolved on its own.

In Helm 3 the template command has been re-architected to cleanly re-use the same package as helm install so it should be easier to implement in that time.
