Gitlab Overview#

Gitlab API allows developers to access the functionality of Gitlab. With the
Gitlab API, developers can integrate Gitlab with other applications, create
custom applications, or automate tasks.

Some examples of what you can build using the Gitlab API include:

Automate tasks such as creating and managing repositories
Integrate Gitlab with other applications such as your chat application
Create custom applications on top of Gitlab

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { eventTypes } from "../common/hook-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "gitlab-new-commit-comment",
  name: "New Commit Comment (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a commit receives a comment",
  version: "0.1.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async activate() {
      await this.activateHook(eventTypes.NOTE_EVENTS);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    isCommentOnCommit(commit) {
      const noteableType = commit.object_attributes?.noteable_type;
      const expectedNoteableType = "Commit";
      return noteableType === expectedNoteableType;
    },
    generateMeta({
      user, comment,
    }) {
      const {
        name,
        username,
      } = user;
      const {
        id,
        created_at: createdAt,
        commit_id: commitId,
      } = comment;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New comment by ${name} (${username}) on commit ${commitId}`,
        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
    async emitEvent(event) {
      // Gitlab doesn't offer a specific hook for "commit comments" events,
      // but such event can be deduced from the payload of "note" events.
      if (this.isCommentOnCommit(event)) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta({
          user: event.user,
          comment: event.object_attributes,
        });
        this.$emit(event, meta);
      }
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Gitlab	`gitlab`	`app`	This component uses the Gitlab app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Gitlab uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Gitlab account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Gitlab and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Gitlab API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

apiread_userread_repositorywrite_repositoryread_registrysudoopenidprofileemail

Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
