MIGRATION-V1.md

Here are simple steps to move from v0.11.0 to v1.0.0.

AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM

The constructor no longer accepts individual credentials like IAMApiKey, etc. We initialize authenticators from the core. The core supports various authentication mechanisms, choose the one appropriate to your instance and use case.

For example, to pass a IAM apikey:

Before

service, serviceErr := servicev1.
NewServiceV1(&servicev1.ServiceV1Options{
    URL: "{url}",
    IAMApiKey: "{apikey}",
})

After(V1.0)

import "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"

authenticator := &core.IamAuthenticator{
    ApiKey:     "{apikey}",
}

service, serviceErr := servicev1.
NewServiceV1(&servicev1.ServiceV1Options{
    URL: "{url}",
    Authenticator: authenticator,
})

There are 5 authentication variants supplied in the SDK (shown below): You can also find detailed explanation Authentication

BasicAuthenticator

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)

authenticator := &core.BasicAuthenticator{
    Username: "user1", 
    Password: "password1",
}
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: authenticator,
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

BearerTokenAuthenticator

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)

authenticator := &core.BearerTokenAuthenticator{
    BearerToken: token,
}
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: authenticator,
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

CloudPakForDataAuthenticator

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)

authenticator := &core.CloudPakForDataAuthenticator{
    URL:                    "https://my-cp4d-url"
    Username:               "user1", 
    Password:               "password1",
    DisableSSLVerification: true,
}
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: authenticator,
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

IAMAuthenticator

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)
...
authenticator := &core.IamAuthenticator{
    ApiKey:     "my-iam-apikey",
}
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: authenticator,
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

NoAuthAuthenticator

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)
...
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: &core.NoAuthAuthenticator{},
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

Creating an Authenticator from Environmental Configuration

External env variables can be obtained from CREDENTIALS, Environment variables or VCAP_SERVICES

import (
    "github.com/IBM/go-sdk-core/core"
    "<appropriate-git-repo-url>/myservicev1"
)
...
authenticator := core.GetAuthenticatorFromEnvironment("my_service")
options := &myservicev1.MyServiceV1Options{
    Authenticator: authenticator,
}
service := myservicev1.NewMyServiceV1(options)

METHOD CALLS RETURN FIRST PARAM AS RESULT

For functions which have a result, method calls will return result as the first param

Before

response, responseErr := service.MethodCall(&servicev1.MethodCallOptions{})

result := discovery.GetListEnvironmentsResult(response)

After(V1.0)

Result would be returned directly

result, response, responseErr := service.MethodCall(&servicev1.MethodCallOptions{})
