Lua filter

[esigo]

Is it possible to use Lua filter in httpRoute? If yes, is there any example for it?
Thanks

until a first class API is added (tracked with #2025) you can use EnvoyPatchPolicy to configure one https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/latest/user/extensibility/envoy-patch-policy/

Thanks for the prompt response ☺️

@arkodg unfortunately I couldn't get a basic Lua filter working. Would it be possible to share a hello world example for Lua filter or let me know how I could get the following patch fixed?

apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyPatchPolicy
metadata:
  name: custom-lua-filter-patch-policy
  namespace: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
    kind: Gateway
    name: eg
    namespace: default
  type: JSONPatch
  jsonPatches:
    - type: "type.googleapis.com/envoy.config.listener.v3.Listener"
      name: default/eg/http  # Replace if listener name format differs
      operation:
        op: add
        path: "/default_filter_chain/filters/-"  # Add filter at the end (-)
        value:
          name: envoy.lua
          config:
            inlineCode: |
              function envoy_on_response(response_handle)
                local headers = response_handle:headers()
                headers:add("custom-header", "value")
              end

              register_filter("envoy.on_response", envoy_on_response)

if youre attaching to a https listener the path looks a little different - filterChains/0/filters
