README (experimental)

An experimental and incremental update of the library focusing on a more modern and consistent experience.

Improvements

Automatically paginate List operations by default

List() methods will automatically paginate all resources unless PerPage or Page is supplied as a part of the $entityListParams.

This allows us the best of both worlds where if you need to explicitly override the inbuilt pagination, you have the ability to.

Nested methods and services

Not all methods are defined at the top level. Instead, they are nested under service objects.

// old
client.ListZones(...)
client.ZoneLevelAccessServiceTokens(...)

// new
client.Zones.List()
client.Access.ServiceTokens(...)

This avoids polluting the global namespace and having more specific methods for services.

Consistent CRUD method signatures

Majority of methods on an entity will follow a standard method signature.

Signature Purpose Return value
Get(ctx, *ResourceContainer, $entityID) ($entity, error) Fetches a single entity by a $entityID. Returns the entity and error based on the listing parameters.
List(ctx, *ResourceContainer, params) ([]$entity, ResultInfo, error) Fetches all entities. Returns the list of matching entities, the result information (pagination, fail/success and additional metadata), and error.
New(ctx, *ResourceContainer, params) ($entity, error) Creates a new entity with the provided parameters. Returns the newly created entity and error.
Update(ctx, *ResourceContainer, params) ($entity, error) Updates an existing entity. Returns the updated entity and error.
Delete(ctx, *ResourceContainer, $entityID) (error) Deletes a single entity by a $entityID. Returns error.
  • *ResourceContainer determines the "level" of the resource and where it will operate at. Operated using UserIdentifier, ZoneIdentifier, and AccountIdentifier respectively.
  • $entityID is the resource identifier.
  • params is a complex structure that allows filtering/finding resources matching the struct fields. By providing a structure as the third argument in all the methods that require it, we can add/remove fields without the need for a breaking change and instead can issue deprecation notices when specific fields are used.
  • $entity the resource being operated on.

Exceptions to this convention will be:

  • Methods outside of CRUD operations
  • Top level level concepts such as Accounts and Zones

Examples

DNSRecord is used below for the examples however, all entites will implement the same methods and interfaces.

params := khulnasoft.ClientParams{
  Key: "3bc3be114fb6323adc5b0ad7422d193a",
  Email: "someone@example.com",
  HTTPClient: myCustomHTTPClient,
  // ...
}
c, err := khulnasoft.NewExperimental(params)

Create a new DNS record

dParams := &khulnasoft.DNSRecordParams{
  Name: "@",
  Content: "foo.example.com",
  TTL: 300,
}
r, _ := c.DNSRecord.New(context.TODO(), khulnasoft.ZoneIdentifier("b026324c6904b2a9cb4b88d6d61c81d1"), dParams)

Fetching a known DNS record by ID

r, _ := c.DNSRecord.Get(context.TODO(), khulnasoft.ZoneIdentifier("b026324c6904b2a9cb4b88d6d61c81d1"), "3e7705498e8be60520841409ebc69bc1")

Listing all records matching a single account ID (filter option)

dParams := &khulnasoft.DNSRecordListParams{
  AccountID: "d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249"
}
r, _, _ := c.DNSRecord.List(context.TODO(), dParams)

Update an existing DNS record

dParams := &khulnasoft.DNSRecordParams{
  ID: "b5163cf270a3fbac34827c4a2713eef4",
  Name: "@",
  Content: "bar.example.com",
  TTL: 300,
}
r, _ := c.DNSRecord.Update(context.TODO(), khulnasoft.ZoneIdentifier("b026324c6904b2a9cb4b88d6d61c81d1"), dParams)

Delete a DNS Record

r, _ := c.DNSRecord.Delete(context.TODO(), khulnasoft.ZoneIdentifier("b026324c6904b2a9cb4b88d6d61c81d1"), "b5163cf270a3fbac34827c4a2713eef4")
