# packngo
Packet Go Api Client
![](https://www.packet.net/media/images/xeiw-packettwitterprofilew.png)
Installation
------------
`go get github.com/packethost/packngo`
Usage
-----
To authenticate to the Packet API, you must have your API token exported in env var `PACKET_API_TOKEN`.
This code snippet initializes Packet API client, and lists your Projects:
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/packethost/packngo"
)
func main() {
c, err := packngo.NewClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
ps, _, err := c.Projects.List(nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, p := range ps {
log.Println(p.ID, p.Name)
}
}
```
This lib is used by the official [terraform-provider-packet](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-packet).
You can also learn a lot from the `*_test.go` sources. Almost all out tests touch the Packet API, so you can see how auth, querying and POSTing works. For example [devices_test.go](devices_test.go).
Acceptance Tests
----------------
If you want to run tests against the actual Packet API, you must set envvar `PACKET_TEST_ACTUAL_API` to non-empty string for the `go test`. The device tests wait for the device creation, so it's best to run a few in parallel.
To run a particular test, you can do
```
$ PACKNGO_TEST_ACTUAL_API=1 go test -v -run=TestAccDeviceBasic
```
If you want to see HTTP requests, set the `PACKNGO_DEBUG` env var to non-empty string, for example:
```
$ PACKNGO_DEBUG=1 PACKNGO_TEST_ACTUAL_API=1 go test -v -run=TestAccVolumeUpdate
```
Committing
----------
Before committing, it's a good idea to run `gofmt -w *.go`. ([gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/))
