@ -139,26 +146,31 @@ URL to your GitLab instance should not include `/api/v4` path.
Instantiate the library using a basic token created in your [Gitlab Profile](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html)
```javascript
// ES6 (>=node 8.0.0)
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
// ES5, assuming Promise and Object.assign are available
const Gitlab = require('gitlab/dist/es5').default
// ES6 (>=node 8.9.0)

// ES5, assuming native or polyfilled Promise is available
const { Gitlab } = require('gitlab');
// Instantiating
const api = new Gitlab({

token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
})
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.

});
```
#### Bundle Imports
It can be annoying to have to import all the API's pertaining to a specific resource. For example, the Projects resource is composed of many API's, Projects, Issues, Labels, MergeRequests, etc. For convenience, there is a Bundle export for importing and instantiating all these related API's at once.
```javascript
import { ProjectsBundle } from 'gitlab';
const services = new ProjectsBundle({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com

### Using XMLHttpRequest
This package uses the [Request](https://github.com/request/request) library by default, which is built into Node. However, if your code is running in a browser, you can get better built-in resolution of proxies and self-signed certificates by using the browser's XMLHttpRequest implementation instead:
#### Handling HTTPS certificates
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
If your Gitlab server is running via HTTPS, the proper way to pass in your certificates is via a `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` environment key, like this:
```js
"scripts": {
"start": "NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=./secrets/3ShapeCA.pem node bot.js"
},
```
Although we don't encourage it, if you absolutely must allow insecure certificates, you can instantiate the API with `rejectAuthorized` set to `false` like this:
```
const api = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.
useXMLHttpRequest: true // Use the browser's XMLHttpRequest instead of Node's Request library
url: '...',
token: '...',
rejectUnauthorized: false
})
```
**WARNING:** Currently this option does not support the `multipart/form-data` content type, and therefore the endpoint for [uploading a file to a project](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#upload-a-file) will not work correctly. All other endpoints should work exactly as expected.
> **NOTE**: _Using `process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = '0'` will not work with the `gitlab` library. The `rejectUnauthorized` key is the only way to allow insecure certificates to be bypassed._
### Examples
Once you have your library instantiated, you can utilize many of the API's functionality:
Using the await/async method
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
import { Gitlab } from 'gitlab';
const api = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.
});
// Listing users
let users = await api.Users.all();
// Or using Promise-Then notation
api.Projects.all()
.then((projects) => {
console.log(projects)
})
api.Projects.all().then(projects => {
console.log(projects);
});
```
General rule about all the function parameters:
- If its a required parameter, it is a named argument in the functions
- If its an optional parameter, it is defined in a options object following the named arguments
ie.
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
import { Gitlab } from 'gitlab';
const api = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.
});
api.Projects.create(projectId, {
//options defined in the Gitlab API documentation
})
//options defined in the Gitlab API documentation
});
```
### Pagination
@ -331,29 +352,27 @@ api.Projects.create(projectId, {
For any .all() function on a resource, it will return all the items from Gitlab. This can be troublesome if there are many items, as the request it self can take a while to be fulfilled. As such, a maxPages option can be passed to limit the scope of the all function.
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
import { Gitlab } from 'gitlab';
const api = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.
});
let projects = await api.Projects.all({ maxPages:2 });
let projects = await api.Projects.all({ maxPages: 2 });
```
You can also use this in conjunction to the perPage argument which would override the default of 30 per page set by Gitlab:
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
import { Gitlab } from 'gitlab';
const api = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456', // Can be created in your profile.
});
let projects = await api.Projects.all({ maxPages:2, perPage:40 });
let projects = await api.Projects.all({ maxPages: 2, perPage: 40 });

### Sudo
For private gitlab instances, administrators are able to impersonate users through the API. To do so, you have to set the 'Sudo' header on the services you want to impersonate the user for.
For example, if you want to disable notifications for a specific user:
```javascript
import Gitlab from 'gitlab';
const { NotificationSettings } = new Gitlab({
url: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to http://gitlab.com
```javascript
import { NotificationSettings } from 'gitlab';
const service = new NotificationSettings({
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
sudo: 8 // Can be the user ID or a username
});
await NotificationSettings.edit({
await service.edit({
level: NotificationSettings.LEVELS.DISABLED
})
```
## Migrating from node-gitlab/node-gitlab
### Custom Request Libraries
With the success of this library thanks to the community, this has become the main npm package to interact with the Gitlab API. As such, there will be a little bit of growing pains for those upgrading from the original node-gitlab v1.8 to our newest 3.0.0 release, far too many to list here. I hope the library is written clearly enough to ease this transition, but if there is anything that you're having trouble with please feel free to create an issue! If not myself, someone will definitely have the answer to help get you all setup up as quickly as possible.
There is another constructor parameter that allows the user to specify their own custom request library
as long as it has a similar API to ky. To specify the library, simply set the `requester` property when
instatiating a service:
An example can be seen in the [KyRequester.ts](./src/infrastructure/KyRequester.ts) file
```javascript
import { Gitlab } from 'gitlab';
import YourCustomRequester from 'custom-requester';
const api = new Gitlab({
host: 'http://example.com', // Defaults to https://gitlab.com
token: 'abcdefghij123456' // Can be created in your profile.
requester: YourCustomRequester
});
```
## Docs
Although there are the [official docs](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/tree/master/doc/api) for the API, there are some extra goodies offered by this package! After the 3.0.0 release, the next large project will be putting together proper documentation for these goodies [#39]! Stay tuned!!
