Some sample bootstrapping code would be helpful

[pantelis-karamolegkos]

What can we help you with?

I just want to bootstrap my client and make a request to list project details.

I have exported the AIVEN_TOKEN as environment variable so the following code works as expected

const userAgent = "just-me"
 
aivenClient, err := aiven.NewClient(aiven.DebugOpt(true), aiven.UserAgentOpt(userAgent))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	aivenProjectsListOut, err := aivenClient.ProjectList(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

Now I want to list projects' details.

From what I understand, I must create a new (project) Handler via this function.

I was not able to find a way to create and/or initialize a doer (given that in the *client returned the field is unexported).

Where would you expect to find this information?

Either in README.md or within an examples folder.

Hey, @pantelis-karamolegkos! 👋

Thank you for bringing this up!

I do agree that some additional examples could benefit the project and expand its influence to other developers that might be interested in using it—I will introduce this topic to the relevant stakeholders.

For now, I can recommend taking a look at the following resources which are already available:

• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aiven/go-client-codegen, explore this page, there are some useful things
  • Specifically, this page has some documentation on the available handlers. Methods that are exposed by the handlers are directly available through the instantiated client, more on that below
• Check feat: use generated client in service integrations controller aiven-operator#629 out to get some idea on the usage of the code generated client

From what I understand, I must create a new (project) Handler via this function.

No, this isn't needed. You can simply call the relevant method directly via the aivenClient that you have instantiated, because its type has all the possible handlers embedded to it. Here's an example to retrieve the information on a specific project:

const userAgent = "just-me"

aivenClient, err := aiven.NewClient(aiven.DebugOpt(true), aiven.UserAgentOpt(userAgent))
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

aivenProjectGetOut, err := aivenClient.ProjectGet(ctx, "some-project-name")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Organization ID: %s", aivenProjectGetOut.OrganizationId))

I hope my answer provides you with the information that you were looking for 🙂.

I will not be closing the issue and will update you once I have more information to share in regards to adding some examples to the project.

Thanks @Serpentiel 💪🏻
From my side I am good to go for closing this but overall yes, I agree it would be better if the project's docs/examples get enriched.

Hey again, @pantelis-karamolegkos! 👋

That's great to hear. I've just received some information from the relevant stakeholders in regards to expanding the Go client further as a product.

We will be working on more public documentation in the near future, including examples.

Thank you once again for your input, I will close the issue once we have some examples in place 🙌.
