hey @rudrakhp the code looks great !

please feel free to continue with unit tests and e2e

[arkodg]

any reason why this is secret ?

[rudrakhp]

SecretObjectReference is not only for Secret. It's for referring to any K8s object, by default it's Secret type. Here is it's documentation:

// SecretObjectReference identifies an API object including its namespace,
// defaulting to Secret.
//
// The API object must be valid in the cluster; the Group and Kind must
// be registered in the cluster for this reference to be valid.
//
// References to objects with invalid Group and Kind are not valid, and must
// be rejected by the implementation, with appropriate Conditions set
// on the containing object.

[rudrakhp]

Reason for preferring this is to reuse the function for processing config maps:

gateway/internal/provider/kubernetes/controller.go

Lines 753 to 764 in 54ca51b

	// processConfigMapRef adds the referenced ConfigMap to the resourceTree if it's valid.
	// - If it exists in the same namespace as the owner.
	// - If it exists in a different namespace, and there is a ReferenceGrant.
	func (r *gatewayAPIReconciler) processConfigMapRef(
	ctx context.Context,
	resourceMap *resourceMappings,
	resourceTree *resource.Resources,
	ownerKind string,
	ownerNS string,
	ownerName string,
	configMapRef gwapiv1.SecretObjectReference,
	) error {

check out the code flow for

gateway/api/v1alpha1/shared_types.go

Line 746 in 36fdc0b

ValueRef *gwapiv1.LocalObjectReference `json:"valueRef,omitempty"`

[rudrakhp]

@arkodg will do. One additional caveat here is LocalObjectReference let's you locate resources in same namespace only, do we want to have that restriction?

// LocalObjectReference contains enough information to let you locate the
// referenced object inside the same namespace.
