go-artifactory

go-artifactory is a Go client library for accessing the Artifactory API

Requirements

• Go version 1.9+
• Dep is used for dependency management

Usage

import "github.com/atlassian/go-artifactory/pkg/artifactory"

Construct a new Artifactory client, then use the various services on the client to access different parts of the Artifactory API. For example:

client := artifactory.NewClient("http://localhost/artifactory", nil)

// list all repositories
repos, resp, err := client.Repositories.List(context.Background(), nil)

Some API methods have optional parameters that can be passed. For example:

client := artifactroy.NewClient("http://localhost/artifactory", nil)

// list all public local repositories
opt := &artifactory.RepositoryListOptions{Type: "local"}
client.Repositories.ListRepositories(ctx, opt)

The services of a client divide the API into logical chunks and correspond to the structure of the Artifactory API documentation at https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API.

NOTE: Using the context package, one can easily pass cancelation signals and deadlines to various services of the client for handling a request. In case there is no context available, then context.Background() can be used as a starting point.

Authentication

The go-artifactory library does not directly handle authentication. Instead, when creating a new client, pass an http.Client that can handle authentication for you.

For API methods that require HTTP Basic Authentication, use the BasicAuthTransport or TokenTransport

package main

import (
	"github.com/atlassian/go-artifactory/pkg/artifactory"
	"fmt"
	"context"
)

func main() {
	tp := artifactory.BasicAuthTransport{
		Username: "<YOUR_USERNAME>",
		Password: "<YOUR_PASSWORD>",
	}
	
	client, err := artifactory.NewClient("https://localhost/artifactory", tp.Client())
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err.Error())
	}

	repos, resp, err := client.Repositories.ListRepositories(context.Background(), nil)
}

Creating and Updating Resources

All structs for GitHub 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 local repository named "lib-releases"
    repo := artifactory.LocalRepository{
		Key:             artifactory.String("lib-releases"),
		RClass:          artifactory.String("local"),
		PackageType:     artifactory.String("maven"),
		HandleSnapshots: artifactory.Bool(false);
	}

	client.Repositories.CreateLocal(context.Background(), &repo)

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

Roadmap

This library is being initially developed for an internal application at Atlassian, so API methods will likely be implemented in the order that they are needed by that application. Eventually, it would be ideal to cover the entire Artifactory API, so contributions are of course always welcome. The calling pattern is pretty well established, so adding new methods is relatively straightforward.

Versioning

In general, go-artifactory follows semver as closely as we can for tagging releases of the package. For self-contained libraries, the application of semantic versioning is relatively straightforward and generally understood. But because go-artifactory is a client library for the Artifactory API we've adopted the following versioning policy:

• We increment the major version with any incompatible change to functionality, including changes to the exported Go API surface or behavior of the API.
• We increment the minor version with any backwards-compatible changes to functionality.
• We increment the patch version with any backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Generally methods will be annotated with a since version.
