About the Client

client/nginx.go includes functions and data structures for working with NGINX Plus API as well as some helper functions.

This Client works against versions 4 to 9 of the NGINX Plus API. The table below shows the version of NGINX Plus where the API was first introduced.

API version	NGINX Plus version
4	R18
5	R19
6	R20
7	R25
8	R27
9	R30

Using the Client

1. Import github.com/nginxinc/nginx-plus-go-client/client into your go project.
2. Use your favorite vendor tool to add this to your /vendor directory in your project.

Testing

Unit tests

cd client
go test

Integration tests

Prerequisites:

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• golang
• Make
• NGINX Plus license - put nginx-repo.crt and nginx-repo.key into the docker folder.

Run Tests:

make test

This will build and run two NGINX Plus containers and create one docker network of type bridge, execute the client tests against both NGINX Plus APIs, and then clean up. If it fails and you want to clean up (i.e. stop the running containers and remove the docker network), please use make clean
