Name Format Name Resolution

The Name Format name resolver provides a flexible way to resolve service names using a configurable format string with placeholders. This is useful in scenarios where you want to map service names to predictable DNS names following a specific pattern.

Configuration Format

To use the Name Format name resolver, create a configuration in your Dapr environment:

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Configuration
metadata:
  name: appconfig
spec:
  nameResolution:
    component: "nameformat"
    configuration:
      format: "service-{appid}.default.svc.cluster.local"  # Replace with your desired format pattern

Configuration Fields

Examples

When configured with format: "service-{appid}.default.svc.cluster.local", the resolver will transform service names as follows:

• Service ID "myapp" → "service-myapp.default.svc.cluster.local"
• Service ID "frontend" → "service-frontend.default.svc.cluster.local"

Notes

• Empty service IDs are not allowed and will result in an error
• The format string must be provided in the configuration
• The format string must contain at least one {appid} placeholder
