# GatewayClass
The `GatewayClass` resource is used as a template for creating `Gateway` resources.
The specification includes the name of the controller (`controllerName`) and an API object containing controller-specific configuration resources within the cluster (`parametersRef`).
The value of the `controllerName` field must be set to `hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller`.
When gateways are created from a `GatewayClass`, they use the parameters specified in the `GatewayClass` at the time of instantiation.
Add the `kind: GatewayClass` option to the the gateway values file to declare a gateway class.
The following example creates a gateway class called `test-gateway-class`:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: test-gateway-class
spec:
controllerName: 'hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller'
parametersRef:
group: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com
kind: GatewayClassConfig
name: test-gateway-class-config
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
Refer to the [Kubernetes Gateway API documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.GatewayClass) for details about configuring gateway classes.
