GitLab Handler

This is the implementation of the GitLab handler for MindsDB. This interface support to connect to GitLab API and pull data into MindsDB

GitLab Handler Implementation

This handler was implemented using the python-gitlab library. python-gitlab is a Python library that wraps GitLab API.

GitLab Handler Initialization

The GitLab handler is initialized with the following parameters:

• repository: a required name of a GitLab repository to connect to
• api_key: an optional GitLab API key to use for authentication
• url: an optional GitLab server URL (defaults to https://gitlab.com)

Implemented Features

[x] GitLab Issues Table for a given Repository

• Support SELECT
  • Support LIMIT
  • Support WHERE
  • Support ORDER BY
  • Support column selection
• GitLab Merge Requests Table for a given Repository
  • Support SELECT
    • Support LIMIT
    • Support WHERE

Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to a gitlab api in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used,

CREATE DATABASE mindsdb_gitlab
WITH ENGINE = 'gitlab',
PARAMETERS = {
  "repository": "gitlab-org/gitlab",
  "api_key": "api_key",    -- optional GitLab API key
  "url": "https://gitlab.com"  -- optional GitLab server URL (defaults to https://gitlab.com)
};

Now, you can use this established connection to query your table as follows,

SELECT * FROM mindsdb_gitlab.issues;

SELECT number, state, creator, assignee, title, created, labels 
  FROM mindsdb_gitlab.issues
  WHERE state="opened"
  ORDER BY created ASC, creator DESC
  LIMIT 10;

SELECT number, state, creator, reviewers, title, created, has_conflicts
  FROM mindsdb_gitlab.merge_requests
  WHERE state="merged"
  ORDER BY created ASC, creator DESC
  LIMIT 10;
