GitLab API for Nette

This package serves as a transport layer between a specific application and GitLab.

With this package, you can easily submit queries to GitLab, detect error messages in the Tracy bar, and monitor request load.

Requests of type GET are automatically cached for 12 hours unless told otherwise.

Requests like POST, PUT, DELETE and other change actions are not cached at all and we always retransmit all data.

Installation

Use the Composer command:

composer require baraja-core/gitlab-api

Next, you need to set the service configuration for Nette in the NEON file.

Default minimum configuration:

services:
   gitLabAPI:
      factory: baraja\GitLabApi\GitLabApi(%gitLab.token%)

parameters:
   gitLab:
      token: 123-abcDEFghiJKL-789

tracy:
   bar:
      - Baraja\GitLabApi\GitLabApiPanel

You must always change the API token for your user account!

Configuration

In the parameters section, you need to enter the default API token to connect to GitLab:

Example:

parameters:
   gitLab:
      token: 123-abcDEFghiJKL-789

Optionally, you can set to use Nette Cache:

services:
   gitLabAPI:
      factory: baraja\GitLabApi\GitLabApi(%gitLab.token%)
      setup:
         - setCache(@cache.storage)

Linking to a custom GitLab installation

In some cases, you need to link the API to the internal corporate network where GitLab is hosted. This is done by using the setBaseUrl() method with a domain path.

The passed parameter can be, for example, the string 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/'.
