Go Fastly

Go Fastly is a Golang API client for interacting with most facets of the Fastly API.

Installation

This is a client library, so there is nothing to install. You must be running Go 1.8 or higher.

Usage

Download the library into your $GOPATH:

$ go get github.com/fastly/go-fastly/fastly

Import the library into your tool:

import "github.com/fastly/go-fastly/fastly"

Examples

Fastly's API is designed to work in the following manner:

1. Create (or clone) a new configuration version for the service
2. Make any changes to the version
3. Validate the version
4. Activate the version

This flow using the Golang client looks like this:

// Create a client object. The client has no state, so it can be persisted
// and re-used. It is also safe to use concurrently due to its lack of state.
// There is also a DefaultClient() method that reads an environment variable.
// Please see the documentation for more information and details.
client, err := fastly.NewClient("YOUR_FASTLY_API_KEY")
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// You can find the service ID in the Fastly web console.
var serviceID = "SERVICE_ID"

// Get the latest active version
latest, err := client.LatestVersion(&fastly.LatestVersionInput{
  Service: serviceID,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// Clone the latest version so we can make changes without affecting the
// active configuration.
version, err := client.CloneVersion(&fastly.CloneVersionInput{
  Service: serviceID,
  Version: latest.Number,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// Now you can make any changes to the new version. In this example, we will add
// a new domain.
domain, err := client.CreateDomain(&fastly.CreateDomainInput{
  Service: serviceID,
  Version: version.Number,
  Name: "example.com",
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// Output: "example.com"
fmt.Println(domain.Name)

// And we will also add a new backend.
backend, err := client.CreateBackend(&fastly.CreateBackendInput{
  Service: serviceID,
  Version: version.Number,
  Name:    "example-backend",
  Address: "127.0.0.1",
  Port:    80,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// Output: "example-backend"
fmt.Println(backend.Name)

// Now we can validate that our version is valid.
valid, _, err := client.ValidateVersion(&fastly.ValidateVersionInput{
  Service: serviceID,
  Version: version.Number,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
if !valid {
  log.Fatal("not valid version")
}

// Finally, activate this new version.
activeVersion, err := client.ActivateVersion(&fastly.ActivateVersionInput{
  Service: serviceID,
  Version: version.Number,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

// Output: true
fmt.Printf("%t\n", activeVersion.Locked)
