An asynchronous GitLab API
_ library.
This library is based on gidgethub_ from Brett Cannon, an async GitHub API library.
I liked the concept with the asynchronous and sans-I/O
_
approach and decided to adapt it to the GitLab's API.
All credit to Brett Cannon <https://github.com/brettcannon/>
_ for the initial library!
Here is a complete example of a server that responds to webhooks which will greet the author and say thanks whenever an issue is opened::
from gidgetlab.aiohttp import GitLabBot
bot = GitLabBot("beenje")
@bot.router.register("Issue Hook", action="open")
async def issue_opened_event(event, gl, *args, **kwargs):
"""Whenever an issue is opened, greet the author and say thanks."""
url = f"/projects/{event.project_id}/issues/{event.object_attributes['iid']}/notes"
message = f"Thanks for the report @{event.data['user']['username']}! I will look into it ASAP! (I'm a bot)."
await gl.post(url, data={"body": message})
if __name__ == "__main__":
bot.run()
Gidgetlab is available on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/gidgetlab/>
_.
::
python3 -m pip install gidgetlab
To install web server support (e.g. for aiohttp
or tornado
), specify it as an extra dependency:
::
python3 -m pip install gidgetlab[aiohttp]
Note that the library is still in alpha development stage.
The key goal is the same as gidgethub_ (but for GitLab):
to provide an async base library for the GitLab API
_
which performs no I/O of its own (a sans-I/O
_ library).
Another goal is to easily write GitLab bots: applications that
run automation on GitLab, using GitLab WebHooks and API.
This was inspired by Mariatta <https://github.com/Mariatta>

If you think you want a different approach to the GitLab API,
