ACI client library for Go
GoACI is a Go client library for Cisco ACI. It features a simple, extensible API, advanced JSON manipulation, and a backup client for running queries against the backup file.
To start using GoACI, install Go and go get:
$ go get -u github.com/brightpuddle/goaci
package main import "github.com/brightpuddle/goaci" func main() { client, _ := goaci.NewClient("1.1.1.1", "user", "pwd") if err := client.Login(); err != nil { panic(err) } res, _ = client.Get("/api/mo/uni/tn-infra") println(res.Get("imdata.0.*.attributes.name")) }This will print:
infra goaci.Result uses GJSON to simplify handling JSON results. See the GJSON documentation for more detail.
res, _ := GetClass("fvBD") res.Get("0.fvBD.attributes.name").Str // name of first BD res.Get("0.*.attributes.name").Str // name of first BD (if you don't know the class) for _, bd := range res.Array() { println(res.Get("*.attributes|@pretty")) // pretty print BD attributes } for _, bd := range res.Get("#.fvBD.attributes").Array() { println(res.Get("@pretty") // pretty print BD attributes }res, _ := GetDn("uni/tn-infra") res, _ := GetClass("fvTenant")Pass the goaci.Query object to the Get request to add query paramters:
queryInfra := goaci.Query("query-target-filter", `eq(fvTenant.name,"infra")`) res, _ := client.GetClass("fvTenant", queryInfra)Pass as many paramters as needed:
res, _ := client.GetClass("isisRoute", goaci.Query("rsp-subtree-include", "relations"), goaci.Query("query-target-filter", `eq(isisRoute.pfx,"10.66.0.1/32")`, )goaci.Body is a wrapper for SJSON. SJSON supports a path syntax simplifying JSON creation.
exampleTenant := goaci.Body{}.Set("fvTenant.attributes.name", "goaci-example").Str client.Post("/api/mo/uni/tn-goaci-example", exampleTenant)These can be chained:
tenantA := goaci.Body{}. Set("fvTenant.attributes.name", "goaci-example-a"). Set("fvTenant.attributes.descr", "Example tenant A")...or nested:
attrs := goaci.Body{}. Set("name", "goaci-example-b"). Set("descr", "Example tenant B"). Str tenantB := goaaci.Body{}.SetRaw("fvTenant.attributes", attrs).StrToken refresh is handled automatically. The client keeps a timer and checks elapsed time on each request, refreshing the token every 8 minutes. This can be handled manually if desired:
res, _ := client.Get("/api/...", goaci.NoRefresh) client.Refresh()goACI also features a backup file client for querying ACI .tar.gz backup files. This client partially mirrors the API of the HTTP client. Note that this must be imported separately.
package main import "github.com/brightpuddle/goaci/backup" func main() { client, _ := backup.NewClient("config.tar.gz") res, _ := client.GetDn("uni/tn-infra") println(res.Get("@pretty")) res, _ = client.GetClass("fvBD") for _, bd := range res.Get("#.fvBD.attributes").Array() { fmt.Priintln(bd) } }See here for various examples.
