go-gitee is a Go client library for accessing the [Gitee API v5][].

go-gitee requires Go version 1.7 or greater.

The go-gitee library does not directly handle authentication. Instead, when creating a new client, pass an http.Client that can handle authentication for you. The easiest and recommended way to do this is using the oauth2 library, but you can always use any other library that provides an http.Client. If you have an OAuth2 access token (for example, a personal API token), you can use it with the oauth2 library using:

import "golang.org/x/oauth2"
import "github.com/weilaihui/go-gitee/gitee"


ctx := context.Background()
conf := &oauth2.Config{
    ClientID:     "{ClientID}",
    ClientSecret: "{ClientSecret}",
    Scopes:       "{Scopes}",
    Endpoint: oauth2.Endpoint{
        AuthURL:  "https://gitee.com/oauth/auth",
        TokenURL: "https://gitee.com/oauth/token",
    },
}
token,err := conf.PasswordCredentialsToken(ctx,"{username}","{password}")

tp := gitee.OAuthTransport{
	Token: token,
}

client := gitee.NewClient(tp.Client())

user, _, err := client.Users.Get(ctx, "")
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("\nerror: %v\n", err)
	return
}

fmt.Printf("\n%v\n", gitee.Stringify(user))
fmt.Printf("\n%v\n", *user.Login)

The services of a client divide the API into logical chunks and correspond to the structure of the Gitee API documentation at https://gitee.com/api/v5/swagger.

Some endpoints may return a 202 Accepted status code, meaning that the information required is not yet ready and was scheduled to be gathered on the GitHub side. Methods known to behave like this are documented specifying this behavior.

To detect this condition of error, you can check if its type is *gitee.AcceptedError:

stats, _, err := client.Repositories.ListContributorsStats(ctx, org, repo)
if _, ok := err.(*gitee.AcceptedError); ok {
	log.Println("scheduled on Gitee side")
}

All structs for Gitee resources use pointer values for all non-repeated fields. This allows distinguishing between unset fields and those set to a zero-value. Helper functions have been provided to easily create these pointers for string, bool, and int values. For example:

// create a new private repository named "foo"
repo := &gitee.Repository{
	Name:    gitee.String("foo"),
	Private: gitee.Bool(true),
}
client.Repositories.Create(ctx, "", repo)

Users who have worked with protocol buffers should find this pattern familiar.

All requests for resource collections (repos, pull requests, issues, etc.) support pagination. Pagination options are described in the gitee.ListOptions struct and passed to the list methods directly or as an embedded type of a more specific list options struct (for example gitee.PullRequestListOptions). Pages information is available via the gitee.Response struct.

client := gitee.NewClient(nil)

opt := &gitee.RepositoryListByOrgOptions{
	ListOptions: gitee.ListOptions{PerPage: 10},
}
// get all pages of results
var allRepos []*gitee.Repository
for {
	repos, resp, err := client.Repositories.ListByOrg(ctx, "gitee", opt)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	allRepos = append(allRepos, repos...)
	if resp.NextPage == 0 {
		break
	}
	opt.Page = resp.NextPage
}

For complete usage of go-gitee, see the full package docs.

You can run integration tests from the test directory. See the integration tests README.

This library is being initially developed by go-github, so API methods will likely be implemented like go-github. You can track the status of implementation in go-github. Eventually, I would like to cover the entire Gitee API, so contributions are of course always welcome. The calling pattern is pretty well established, so adding new methods is relatively straightforward.
