TanukiKit

Build Status codecov.io

A Swift 2.0 API Client for the GitLab API.

Name

The name derives from the GitLab logo which is an abstraction of an japanese racoon dog subspecies named Tanuki. Too bad GitLabKit was already taken.

Authentication

TanukiKit supports both, GitLab Cloud and self hosted GitLab. Authentication is handled using Configurations.

There are two types of Configurations, TokenConfiguration and OAuthConfiguration.

TokenConfiguration

TokenConfiguration is used if you are using Access Token based Authentication (e.g. the user offered you an access token he generated on the website) or if you got an Access Token through the OAuth Flow.

You can initialize a new config for gitlab.com as follows:

let config = TokenConfiguration("12345")

or for self hosted installations

let config = PrivateTokenConfiguration("12345", url: "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/")

After you got your token you can use it with TanukiKit

TanukiKit(config).me() { response in
  switch response {
  case .Success(let user):
    println(user.login)
  case .Failure(let error):
    println(error)
  }
}

OAuthConfiguration

OAuthConfiguration is meant to be used, if you don't have an access token already and the user has to login to your application. This also handles the OAuth flow.Please not that the redirectURI are completely arbitrary and are only necessary because GitLab does not support redirect URIs like git2go://gitlab_oauth. When logging in you should present a UIWebView and look for your redirectURI being called.

You can authenticate an user for gitlab.com as follows:

let config = OAuthConfiguration(token: "<Your Client ID>", secret: "<Your Client secret>", redirect_uri: "https://oauth.example.com/gitlab_oauth")
config.authenticate()

or for self hosted installations

let config = OAuthConfiguration("https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/", webURL: "https://gitlab.example.com/", token: "<Your Client ID>", redirect_uri: "https://oauth.example.com/gitlab_oauth")

After you got your config you can authenticate the user:

// AppDelegate.swift

config.authenticate()

func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: AnyObject?) -> Bool {
  config.handleOpenURL(url) { config in
    self.loadCurrentUser(config) // purely optional of course
  }
  return false
}

func loadCurrentUser(config: TokenConfiguration) {
  TanukiKit(config).me() { response in
    switch response {
    case .Success(let user):
      println(user.login)
    case .Failure(let error):
      println(error)
    }
  }
}

Please note that you will be given a TokenConfiguration back from the OAuth flow. You have to store the accessToken yourself. If you want to make further requests it is not necessary to do the OAuth Flow again. You can just use a TokenConfiguration.

let token = // get your token from your keychain, user defaults (not recommended) etc.
let config = TokenConfiguration(token)
TanukiKit(config).user("tanuki") { response in
  switch response {
  case .Success(let user):
    println(user.login)
  case .Failure(let error):
    println(error)
  }
}

Users

Get the authenticated user

TanukiKit().me() { response in
  switch response {
    case .Success(let user):
      // do something with the user
    case .Failure(let error):
      // handle any errors
  }

Repositories

Get repositories of authenticated user

TanukiKit().repositories() { response in
  switch response {
    case .Success(let repositories):
      // do something
    case .Failure(let error):
      // handle any errors
  }
}
