Cells SDK Go (v4)

Go SDK for communicating with a Pydio Cells Server.

This library allows fast implementation of clients using the Go language.

It provides:

• an automatically generated API client using go-swagger
• a transport layer that handles authentication and wraps AWS SDK for file transfers
• a bunch of basic examples that use this SDK to perform simple actions on a running Cells server instance

To use this SDK, your server should be running Pydio Cells 4.x or later. For more information, please visit our developer guide

Usage

The library is publicly available, simply:

go get github.com/pydio/cells-sdk-go/v4 

and import necessary sub packages in your code.

The transport package provides utilitary methods to ease the set up of a communication with your target Cells instance. You might find the commands that are in the example package useful to jump in.

You can also have a look at the Cells client repository to see more working examples.

Migrate from older versions

From Cells v3

Between version 3 and 4, we have updated the go-swagger version that we use, to v0.30.3 and then to v0.30.5, this should have no impact on your client code.

We have also changed the name of the swagger spec file in Cells that is now: cellsapi-rest.swagger.json.

From Cells v2

Between version 2 and 3, we have updated the go-swagger version that we use, to v0.28.0, this has led to a few breaking changes: you might have to adapt your client code.

We have also reworked our error model in the JSON file: well-known HTTP status are now correctly handled and messages clearer.

Here is a short list of the modification you might have to do in your old code:

• client.PydioCellsRest is now client.PydioCellsRestAPI
• enum objects are managed more cleanly:
  • you have to dereference the pointer to make comparison: *node.Type == models.TreeNodeTypeCOLLECTION
  • you cannot use a string to create a parameter. This won't compile: Type: "COLLECTION" and you must rather write: Type: models.NewTreeNodeType(models.TreeNodeTypeCOLLECTION)
• Acls param in struc models.RestCell has been renamed ACLs

Versioning policy

Between version 2.2 and 3.99 of the Cells server, as the API was still moving and even if we tried to stay backward compatible, we released a minor version of the SDK for each minor version of the Pydio Cells Server: if you are stuck with some servers in v2 or v3, you might still want to use a SDK that has same major.minor version to communicate with your server.

Since the v4, you can use the latest version of the SDK to communicate with any Cells V4 server.
