3# Godo
4
5Godo is a Go client library for accessing the DigitalOcean V2 API.

12## Usage
13
14```go
15import "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
16```
17
18Create a new DigitalOcean client, then use the exposed services to
19access different parts of the DigitalOcean API.
20
21### Authentication
22
23Currently, Personal Access Token (PAT) is the only method of
24authenticating with the API. You can manage your tokens
25at the DigitalOcean Control Panel [Applications Page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/applications).
26
27You can then use your token to create a new client:
28
29```go
30package main
31
32import (
33 "context"
34 "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
35 "golang.org/x/oauth2"
36)
37
38const (
39 pat = "mytoken"
40)
41
42type TokenSource struct {
43 AccessToken string
44}
45
46func (t *TokenSource) Token() (*oauth2.Token, error) {
47 token := &oauth2.Token{
48 AccessToken: t.AccessToken,
49 }
50 return token, nil
51}
52
53func main() {
54 tokenSource := &TokenSource{
55 AccessToken: pat,
56 }
57
58 oauthClient := oauth2.NewClient(context.Background(), tokenSource)
59 client := godo.NewClient(oauthClient)
60}
61```
62
63## Examples
64
65
66To create a new Droplet:
67
68```go
69dropletName := "super-cool-droplet"
70
71createRequest := &godo.DropletCreateRequest{
72 Name: dropletName,
73 Region: "nyc3",
74 Size: "s-1vcpu-1gb",
75 Image: godo.DropletCreateImage{
76 Slug: "ubuntu-14-04-x64",
77 },
78}
79
80ctx := context.TODO()
81
82newDroplet, _, err := client.Droplets.Create(ctx, createRequest)
83
84if err != nil {
85 fmt.Printf("Something bad happened: %s\n\n", err)
86 return err
87}
88```
89
90### Pagination
91
92If a list of items is paginated by the API, you must request pages individually. For example, to fetch all Droplets:
93
94```go
95func DropletList(ctx context.Context, client *godo.Client) ([]godo.Droplet, error) {
96 // create a list to hold our droplets
97 list := []godo.Droplet{}
98
99 // create options. initially, these will be blank
100 opt := &godo.ListOptions{}
101 for {
102 droplets, resp, err := client.Droplets.List(ctx, opt)
103 if err != nil {
104 return nil, err
105 }
106
107 // append the current page's droplets to our list
108 for _, d := range droplets {
109 list = append(list, d)
110 }
111
112 // if we are at the last page, break out the for loop
113 if resp.Links == nil || resp.Links.IsLastPage() {
114 break
115 }
116
117 page, err := resp.Links.CurrentPage()
118 if err != nil {
119 return nil, err
120 }
121
122 // set the page we want for the next request
123 opt.Page = page + 1
124 }
125
126 return list, nil
127}
128```
129
130## Versioning
131
132Each version of the client is tagged and the version is updated accordingly.
133
134Since Go does not have a built-in versioning, a package management tool is
135recommended - a good one that works with git tags is
136[gopkg.in](http://labix.org/gopkg.in).
137
138To see the list of past versions, run `git tag`.
