DigitalOcean v2 API client for Elixir

Installation

digital_ocean is published on Hex. Add it to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

defp deps do
  { :digital_ocean, "~> 0.4.0" }
end

digital_ocean requires you to provide an HTTP client and JSON codec. hackney and jason are used by default. If you wish to use these defaults you will also need to specify hackney and jason as dependencies.

Usage

Each resource module (e.g. DigitalOcean.Droplet) provides functions for building a request that can be sent to the DigitalOcean v2 API using the DigitalOcean.request/2 function.

Example

DigitalOcean.Account.get() |> DigitalOcean.request(access_token: "...")

For details on individual resource types please see our documentation on HexDocs.

Configuration

All configuration must be provided on a per-request basis as a keyword list to the second argument of DigitalOcean.request/2.

Possible configuration values are provided below:

  • :access_token - an OAuth access token or a personal access token used by DigitalOcean to authenticate your requests
  • :http_client - client used when making HTTP requests. Defaults to DigitalOcean.Http.Hackney.
  • :http_client_opts - options or configuration passed to the HTTP client when a request is made. Defaults to [].
  • :http_host - host used to send requests to. Defaults to api.digitalocean.com.
  • :http_path_prefix - path prefixed to all request URLs. Defaults to /v2.
  • :http_port - port to send requests to
  • :http_protocol - protocol used when sending requests. Defaults to https.
  • :json_codec - JSON codec used to encode/decode request and response bodies. Defaults to Jason.
  • :retry - module implementing a strategy for retrying requests. Disabled when set to false. Defaults to false.
  • :retry_opts - options for configuring retry behavior. Defaults to [].
    • :max_attempts - the number of attempts before failing a request. Defaults to 3.

Retries

digital_ocean has a built-in mechanism for retrying requests that either return an HTTP status code of 500 or a client error. You can enabled retries by providing a module that implements the DigitalOcean.Retry behaviour to the :retry option when calling DigitalOcean.request/2.

Currently, digital_ocean provides a DigitalOcean.Retry.Linear strategy for retrying requests. This strategy will automatically retry a request on a set interval. You can configure the interval by adding :retry_in with the number of milliseconds to wait before sending another request to the :retry_opts option.

Example

DigitalOcean.Account.get() |> DigitalOcean.request(retry: DigitalOcean.Retry.Linear, retry_opts: [retry_in: 250])

The example above would retry a failed request after 250 milliseconds. By default DigitalOcean.Retry.Linear will retry a request immediately if :retry_in has no value
