GitLab

The GitLab Retriever will perform an HTTP Request to the GitLab API to get your flags.

tip

GitLab has rate limits, be sure to correctly set your PollingInterval to avoid reaching the limit.

Example

err := ffclient.Init(ffclient.Config{
    PollingInterval: 3 * time.Second,
    Retriever: &gitlabretriever.Retriever{
        RepositorySlug: "thomaspoignant/go-feature-flag",
        Branch: "main",
        FilePath: "testdata/flag-config.goff.yaml",
        GitlabToken: "XXXX",
        Timeout: 2 * time.Second,
		    BaseURL: "https://gitlab.com",
    },
})
defer ffclient.Close()
