NAME

Curio::Role::GitLab::API::v4 - Build Curio classes around GitLab::API::v4.

SYNOPSIS

Create your Curio class:

package MyApp::Service::GitLab;

use MyApp::Config;
use MyApp::Secrets;
use Types::Common::String qw( NonEmptySimpleStr );

use Curio role => '::GitLab::API::v4';
use strictures 2;

key_argument 'connection_key';
export_function_name 'myapp_gitlab';
always_export;
export_resource;

has connection_key => (
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => NonEmptySimpleStr,
    required => 1,
);

add_key 'anonymous';
add_key 'admin';

default_key 'anonymous';

default_arguments (
    api => {
        url => myapp_config()->{gitlab_api_url},
    },
);

sub private_token {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return undef if $self->connection_key() eq 'anonymous';
    return myapp_secret(
        'gitlab-token-' . $self->connection_key(),
    );
}

1;

Then use your new Curio class elsewhere:

use MyApp::Service::GitLab;

my $api = myapp_gitlab('admin');

DESCRIPTION

This role provides all the basics for building a Curio class which wraps around GitLab::API::v4.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

api

Holds the GitLab::API::v4 object.

May be passed as either a hashref of arguments or a pre-created object.

OPTIONAL METHODS

These methods may be declared in your Curio class.

access_token

The "access_token" in GitLab::API::v4. See "TOKENS".

private_token

The "private_token" in GitLab::API::v4. See "TOKENS".

TOKENS

In your Curio class you may create two methods, "access_token" and "private_token". If either/both of these methods exist and return a defined value then they will be used when constructing the "api" object.

In the "SYNOPSIS" a sample private_token method is shown:

sub private_token {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return undef if $self->connection_key() eq 'anonymous';
    return myapp_secret(
        'gitlab-token-' . $self->connection_key(),
    );
}

The myapp_secret call is expected to be the place where you use whatever tool you use to hold your GitLab tokens and likely all passwords and other credentials (secrets) that your application needs.

Some common tools that people use to manage their secrets are Kubernetes' secrets objects, AWS's Secret Manager, HashiCorp's Vault, or just an inescure configuration file; to name a few.

So, the way you write your token methods is going to be unique to your setup.

FEATURES

This role turns on "does_caching" in Curio::Factory and sets "resource_method_name" in Curio::Factory to api (as in "api").

You can of course revert these changes:

does_caching 0;
resource_method_name undef;
