Package 'gitlabr'

Title: Access to the 'GitLab' API
Description: Provides R functions to access the API of the project and repository management web application 'GitLab'. For many common tasks (repository file access, issue assignment and status, commenting) convenience wrappers are provided, and in addition the full API can be used by specifying request locations. 'GitLab' is open-source software and can be self-hosted or used on <https://about.gitlab.com>.

Request GitLab API

Description

This is 'gitlabr' core function to talk to GitLab's server API via HTTP(S). Usually you will not use this function directly too often, but either use 'gitlabr' convenience wrappers or write your own. See the 'gitlabr' vignette for more information on this.

Usage

gitlab(
  req,
  api_root,
  verb = httr::GET,
  auto_format = TRUE,
  debug = FALSE,
  gitlab_con = "default",
  page = "all",
  max_page = 10,
  enforce_api_root = TRUE,
  argname_verb = if (identical(verb, httr::GET) || identical(verb, httr::DELETE)) {
    
    "query"
 } else {
     "body"
 },
  ...
)

Arguments

req

vector of characters that represents the call (e.g. c("projects", project_id, "events"))
api_root

URL where the GitLab API to request resides (e.g. ⁠https://gitlab.myserver.com/api/v3/⁠)
verb

http verb to use for request in form of one of the httr functions httr::GET(), httr::PUT(), httr::POST(), httr::DELETE()
auto_format

whether to format the returned object automatically to a flat data.frame
debug

if TRUE API URL and query will be printed, defaults to FALSE
gitlab_con

function to use for issuing API requests (e.g. as returned by get_gitlab_connection()
page

number of page of API response to get; if "all" (default), all pages (up to max_page parameter!) are queried successively and combined.
max_page

maximum number of pages to retrieve. Defaults to 10. This is an upper limit to prevent 'gitlabr' getting stuck in retrieving an unexpectedly high number of entries (e.g. of a project list). It can be set to NA/Inf to retrieve all available pages without limit, but this is recommended only under controlled circumstances.
enforce_api_root

if multiple pages are requested, the API root URL is ensured to be the same as in the original call for all calls using the "next page" URL returned by GitLab This makes sense for security and in cases where GitLab is behind a reverse proxy and ignorant about its URL from external.
argname_verb

name of the argument of the verb that fields and information are passed on to
...

named parameters to pass on to GitLab API (technically: modifies query parameters of request URL), may include private_token and all other parameters as documented for the GitLab API

Details

gitlab() function allows to use any request of the GitLab API https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/.

For instance, the API documentation shows how to create a new project in https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/projects.html#create-project:

  • The verb is POST

  • The request is projects

  • Required attributes are name or path (if name not set)

  • default_branch is an attribute that can be set if wanted

The corresponding use of gitlab() is: 

gitlab(
  req = "projects",
  verb = httr::POST,
  name = "toto",
  default_branch = "main"
)

Note: currently GitLab API v4 is supported. GitLab API v3 is no longer supported, but you can give it a try.

Value

the response from the GitLab API, usually as a tibble and including all pages

Examples

## Not run: 
# Connect as a fixed user to a GitLab instance
set_gitlab_connection(
  gitlab_url = "https://gitlab.com",
  private_token = Sys.getenv("GITLAB_COM_TOKEN")
)

# Use a simple request
gitlab(req = "projects")
# Use a combined request with extra parameters
gitlab(
  req = c("projects", 1234, "issues"),
  state = "closed"
)

## End(Not run)

Set gitlabr options

Description

Set gitlabr options

Usage

value

option value

Details

Options accounted for by gitlabr:

  • gitlabr.main: Name of the main branch of your repository. Default to "main" in functions.

Value

Used for side effect. Populates user options()

Examples

Usage

gl_builds(project, api_version = 4, ...)

gl_ci_job()

Arguments

project

id (preferred way) or name of the project. Not repository name.
api_version

Since gl_builds is no longer working for GitLab API v4, this must be set to "3" in order to avoid deprecation warning and HTTP error. It currently default to "4" with deprecation message.´
...

Parameters to the new function

Value

Warning for deprecated functions and output depending on the superseeding function.

Details

gl_builds in favour of gl_pipelines
gl_ci_job in favour of use_gitlab_ci

Usage

Arguments

further parameters passed on to gitlab() API call, may include parameter sha for specifying a commit hash

Value

## End(Not run)

Connect to a specific GitLab instance API

Description

Creates a function that can be used to issue requests to the specified GitLab API instance with the specified user private token and (for gl_project_connection) only to a specified project.

Usage

gl_connection(
  gitlab_url,
  private_token,
  api_version = 4,
  api_location = paste0("/api/v", api_version, "/")
)

gl_project_connection(
  gitlab_url,
  project,
  private_token,
  api_version = 4,
  api_location = paste0("/api/v", api_version, "/")
)

Arguments

gitlab_url

URL to the GitLab instance (e.g. ⁠https://gitlab.myserver.com⁠)
private_token

private_token with which to identify. You can generate one in the web interface under ⁠GITLABINSTANCEURL/-/profile/personal_access_tokens.html⁠ when logged on.
api_version

Currently "4" for the latest GitLab API version. See Details section on API versions.
api_location

location of the GitLab API under the gitlab_url, usually and by default "/api/<<api_version>>/"
project

id (preferred way) or name of the project. Not repository name.

Details

The returned function should serve as the primary way to access the GitLab API in the following. It can take vector/character arguments in the same way as the function gitlab() does, as well as the convenience functions provided by this package or written by the user. If it is passed such that function it calls it with the arguments provided in ... and the GitLab URL, api location and private_token provided when creating it via gl_connection.

Note: currently GitLab API v4 is supported. GitLab API v3 is no longer supported, but you can give it a try.

Value

A function to access a specific GitLab API as a specific user, see details

API versions

"v4" is the standard API since GitLab version 9.0 and only this version is officially supported by 'gitlabr' since version 1.1.6. "v3" as a parameter value is not removed, since for many instances, 'gitlabr' code will still work if you try.

Examples
