## Basic example
With those caveats behind, let's write a template that reads three files into our ConfigMap. To get started, we will add three files to the chart, putting all three directly inside of the `mychart/` directory.

files more, and so we provide a `Files.Glob(pattern string)` method to assist
in extracting certain files with all the flexibility of [glob patterns](//godoc.org/github.com/gobwas/glob).
`.Glob` returns a `Files` type, so you may call any of the `Files` methods on
the returned object.
For example, imagine the directory structure:

## ConfigMap and Secrets utility functions
(Not present in version 2.0.2 or prior)
It is very common to want to place file content into both configmaps and
secrets, for mounting into your pods at run time. To help with this, we provide a
couple utility methods on the `Files` type.
For further organization, it is especially useful to use these methods in
conjunction with the `Glob` method.
Given the directory structure from the [Glob][Glob patterns] example above:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: conf
data:
{{ (.Files.Glob "foo/*").AsConfig | indent 2 }}
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: very-secret
type: Opaque
data:
{{ (.Files.Glob "bar/*").AsSecrets | indent 2 }}
```
## Secrets
When working with a Secret resource, you can import a file and have the template base-64 encode it for you:
