Astarte Go

This is the main dependency module for all Astarte Go applications and SDKs.

Astarte Go requires at least Go 1.18.

Migrating from 0.90.x

Following https://github.com/astarte-platform/astarte-go/issues/30, this library exposes a new API. The most significant changes are:

• A completely reworked client package
• The misc package has been split in auth, deviceid and astarteservices packages

Using the new client package

This package provides functions to interact with Astarte APIs.

Client setup

The creation of a new API client has been made clearer using the functional options pattern. As an example, consider the following code, written using the v0.90.4 version of astarte-go:

    astarteAPIClient, err = client.NewClient(astarteURL, nil)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    if err := astarteAPIClient.SetTokenFromPrivateKeyFileWithTTL(privateKeyFile, 60); err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

From > v0.90.4, the same setup is handled in this way:

    astarteAPIClient, err = client.New(
        client.WithBaseURL(astarteURL),
        client.WithPrivateKey(privateKeyFile),
        client.WithExpiry(60),
    )
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

Astarte API

Moreover, functions handling Astarte APIs have been revisited. In general, the interaction is divided in three steps:

1. Generate a request, i.e. a value of type AstarteRequest
2. Perform the request (calling the Run() method on the request), thus obtaining a value of type AstarteResponse
3. Parse the result (calling the Parse() method on the response)

Each step may fail with an error, which is strongly recommended to check. This pattern gives more control to users on how to handle each interaction step. AstarteRequests also provide a ToCurl() method to emit a command-line command equivalent to the request. AstarteResponses also provide a Raw() method to handle the response in an ad-hoc way.

As an example, consider the following code, written using the v0.90.4 version of astarte-go:

    deviceDetails, err := astarteAPIClient.AppEngine.GetDevice(realm, deviceID, deviceIdentifierType)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

From > v0.90.4, the same call can be performed as:

    deviceDetailsReq, err := astarteAPIClient.GetDeviceDetails(realm, deviceID, deviceIdentifierType)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    deviceDetailsRes, err := deviceDetailsReq.Run(astarteAPIClient)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    deviceDetails, err := deviceDetailsRes.Parse()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

Pagination

Finally, pagination has been handled correctly. Astarte returns paginated data in two cases: device lists and device data. The Paginator interface provides methods to query those data, such as HasNextPage(), GetNextPage(), GetPageSize(). The following example shows how to use the DatastreamPaginator to print a paginated set of samples on a datastream individual interface, starting from the oldest, with a page size of 10 .

    paginator, err := c.GetIndividualDatastreamsPaginator(realm, deviceID, client.AstarteDeviceID, 
        "org.astarte.genericsensors.Value", "/streamTest/value", client.DescendingOrder, 10)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    for paginator.HasNextPage() {
        getNextPageReq, err := paginator.GetNextPage()
        if err != nil {
            fmt.Println(err)
        }

        getNextPageRes, err := getNextPageReq.Run(c)
        if err != nil {
            fmt.Println(err)
        }

        rawNextPageData, err := getNextPageRes.Parse()
        if err != nil {
            fmt.Println(err)
        }
        nextPageData, _ := rawNextPageData.([]client.DatastreamIndividualValue)
        for _, v := range nextPageData {
            fmt.Printf("Value: %#v, Timestamp: %#v, Reception Timestamp: %#v\n", v.Value, v.Timestamp, v.ReceptionTimestamp)
        }
    }

Using the new auth, deviceid and astarteservices packages

Just replace misc with the new packages, the context of which is pretty much self-explainatory.
