AccelByte Go SDK

A software development kit (SDK) for interacting with AccelByte services written in Golang.

This SDK was generated from OpenAPI specification documents included in the spec directory.

Setup

This SDK requires go 1.18 or newer version to be installed.

Import SDK Project

Add the following to your project's go.mod:

require (
    github.com/AccelByte/accelbyte-go-sdk {VERSION}
)

Replace {VERSION} with a specific release version tag. When starting a new project, using the latest release version is recommended.

Environment Variables

The following environment variables need to be set when using ConfigRepository.

Name	Required	Example
AB_BASE_URL	Yes	https://test.accelbyte.io
AB_CLIENT_ID	Yes	abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
AB_CLIENT_SECRET	Yes, but only if you use a confidential AB_CLIENT_ID	ab#c,d)ef(ab#c,d)ef(ab#c,d)ef(ab

Usage

Instantiation

// example for OAuth20 in IAM service
oAuth20Service := iam.OAuth20Service{
    Client:           factory.NewIamClient(auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl()), 
    ConfigRepository: auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl(), 
    TokenRepository:  auth.DefaultTokenRepositoryImpl(),
}

Enable HTTP Logging

To enable http logging feature, set ENABLE_LOG to true in the environment variables.

export ENABLE_LOG=true

With Custom HTTP retry in the client

Use this to get SDK instance with HTTP retry functionality.

input := &o_auth2_0.TokenGrantV3Params{
		Password:  &password,
		Username:  &username,
		GrantType: o_auth2_0.TokenGrantV3PasswordConstant,
	}
input.RetryPolicy = &utils.Retry{
    Transport: OAuth20Service.Client.Runtime.Transport,
    MaxTries:  utils.MaxTries,
    Backoff:   utils.NewConstantBackoff(0),
    RetryCodes: map[int]bool{
        502: true, // add an error code for bad gateway
    },
}
ok, err := OAuth20Service.TokenGrantV3Short(input) // call the wrapper

Automatic Token Refresh

The Automatic Token Refresh is invoked by auth.RefreshTokenScheduler inside the login wrapper with the Default configuration and can be override. Use the following to get SDK instance with automatic token refresh functionality which is performed before each HTTP request but only if access token is almost expired.

oAuth20Service = &iam.OAuth20Service{
		Client:           factory.NewIamClient(auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl()),
		ConfigRepository: auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl(),
		TokenRepository:  auth.DefaultTokenRepositoryImpl(),
		RefreshTokenRepository: &auth.RefreshTokenImpl{ // override the default refresh token. For example, enable the AutoRefresh functionality or change RefreshRate
			RefreshRate: 0.5,
			AutoRefresh: true,
		},
	}

Use the repository to access all functions for refresh token.

On-demand Refresh Token

The on-demand refresh token is intended to be used in environment where automatic refresh token cannot work properly e.g. AWS Lambda. The way to initialize it is similar to automatic refresh token except the AutoRefresh parameter must be set to false. After that, LoginOrRefreshClient or LoginOrRefresh for logging in using client token or username and password respectively can be used before calling any endpoints. These two functions are helper functions for developers to either login or refresh as required.

oAuth20Service = &iam.OAuth20Service{
    Client:           factory.NewIamClient(auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl()),
    ConfigRepository: auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl(),
    TokenRepository:  auth.DefaultTokenRepositoryImpl(),
    RefreshTokenRepository: &auth.RefreshTokenImpl{
        RefreshRate: 0.5,
        AutoRefresh: false, // must be set to false for on demand refresh token
    },
}
...
err := oauth.LoginOrRefreshClient("clientId", "clientSecret")   // use before calling endpoints, using client token
...
err := oauth.LoginOrRefresh("username", "password")     // use before calling endpoints, using username and password

Working example code for on-demand refresh token is available in ondemand-refresh-token.

Local Token Validation

Local token validation is available since version 0.37.0. To enable it, import the package

import (
    ...
    "github.com/AccelByte/accelbyte-go-sdk/services-api/pkg/service/iam"
    ...
)

• if the boolean SetLocalValidation is true, it will validate locally.
• if the boolean SetLocalValidation is false, it will validate remotely (call VerifyTokenV3 endpoint).

oAuth20Service.SetLocalValidation(true)

err = tokenValidator.Validate(accessToken, &requiredPermission, &namespace, nil)

Login

Login Using Username and Password

err := oAuth20Service.Login(username, password)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

You can also specify the scope you want for LoginWithScope(...). With the scope parameter typed as string. By default the scope used is commerce account social publishing analytics (a space separated value string).

err := oAuth20Service.LoginWithScope(username, password, scope)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Login Using OAuth Client (Public or Private)

err := oAuth20Service.LoginClient(clientId, clientSecret)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

💡 The use of a Public OAuth Client is highly discouraged! Please ensure that you both set the Client ID and Client Secret.

Parse Access Token

Functionality to parse the access token is available in v0.50.0. The function exist alongside the Login functionality in OAuth20Service. To use it, import the package

import (
    ...
    "github.com/AccelByte/accelbyte-go-sdk/services-api/pkg/service/iam"
    ...
)

Get the token, and use ParseAccessToken function. Set the second parameter as true if it wants to validate before parse the access token

// get the access token string
accessToken, err := oAuth20Service.GetToken()
if err != nil {
    // fail here
}

// parse the token
parsedToken, err := oAuth20Service.ParseAccessToken(accessToken, true) // set true here to validate before parse the access token
if err != nil {
    // fail here
}

• if the boolean SetLocalValidation is true, it will validate locally.
• if the boolean SetLocalValidation is false, it will validate remotely (call VerifyTokenV3 endpoint).
• if the boolean ParseAccessToken is false, it will not validate the token at all.

oAuth20Service.SetLocalValidation(true) // call this also to activate local validation whether locally or remotely

// parse the token
parsedToken, err := oAuth20Service.ParseAccessToken(accessToken, true) // set true here to validate before parsing the access token
if err != nil {
// fail here
}

Interacting with AccelByte Gaming Services HTTP Endpoints

As an example, we will get current user profile info using getMyProfileInfo endpoint available in basic service.

// Instantiate UserProfile (Basic service) and input model as the global variable
var (
    userProfileService = &basic.UserProfileService{
        Client:          factory.NewBasicClient(auth.DefaultConfigRepositoryImpl()), 
        TokenRepository: auth.DefaultTokenRepositoryImpl(),
    }
    input = &user_profile.GetUserProfileInfoParams{
        Namespace: namespace,
    }
)

// Login using username and password
err := oAuth20Service.Login(username, password)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

// Make a call to getMyProfileInfo endpoint through the wrapper
ok, err := userProfileService.GetMyProfileInfoShort(input)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

The basic-sdk contains 2 directories:

• basicclient contains the logic to make requests.
• basicclientmodels contains the models such as request and response models.

Client must create a struct that implement following interface:

• ConfigRepository is responsible to store configuration.
• TokenRepository is responsible to store access token.

For more details, see repository for the interface and cli samples on how to use it.

Interacting with AccelByte Gaming Services WebSocket Endpoints

To interact with AccelByte Gaming Services services which use WebSocket endpoints e.g. AccelByte Gaming Services Lobby Service, use an existing Initialisation code or implement custom connectionutils/ConnectionManager interface. ConnectionManager manages WebSocket connection that save, get and close the WebSocket connection. In other words, client should maintain WebSocket connection using ConnectionManager.

connMgr = &integration.ConnectionManagerImpl{}
conn, err := connectionutils.NewWSConnection(
oAuth20Service.ConfigRepository, oAuth20Service.TokenRepository,
connectionutils.WithEnableAutoReconnect(), connectionutils.WithMessageHandler(lobbyMessageHandler), // do optionals
)
if err != nil {
// error
}
lobbyClient := connectionutils.NewLobbyWebSocketClient(conn)

// [optional] do something before Connecting

success, err := lobbyClient.Connect(false) // Connecting
if err != nil {
// error
}

connMgr.Save(conn)

// CASE Lobby get a notification
err = notificationService.GetNotificationMessage()
// error

For reference, see connectionutils_test.go or samples/cli/pkg/utils/connectionManager.go.

Refresh Token

getToken, errGetToken := oAuth20Service.TokenRepository.GetToken()
    if errGetToken != nil {
        // failed to get token
    }
	
hasExpired := repository.HasTokenExpired(*getToken) // use the repository of the sdk to get the available functions

Logout

err := oAuth20Service.Logout()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

FlightID

Since v0.64, Go Extend SDK enable support for FlightID transmission during Http request. By default, new flight id will be generated when the sdk is loaded. There will be some case that this default value need to be updated with new value.

• To update default flight id globally, use following code:

  utils.GetDefaultFlightID().SetFlightID("<new flight id value>");

  This will update the default flight id, and will be used by newly created sdk object (this example use "userProfileService").

  or

  userProfileService.FlightIdRepository = &utils.FlightIdContainer{Value: "<new flight id value>"}

  This will update the default flight id, and will be used by newly created sdk object (won't affect existing sdk object created before this code get executed).

• To update flight id value in sdk object, use following code:

  userProfileService.UpdateFlightId("<new flight id value>")

  This will update the flight id value stored inside the sdk object. Will be used for all operations executed by the sdk object.

• To update flight id value for specific operation, use UpdateFlightId parameter when building the operation object.

  // Make a call to GetMyProfileInfo endpoint
  input := &user_profile.GetMyProfileInfoParams{
      Namespace: admin,
  }
  input.XFlightId = "<new flight id value>"
  ok, err := userProfileService.GetMyProfileInfoShort(input)
