# [NAME](#NAME)

Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::GitLab - Alien::Build plugin to download from GitLab

# [VERSION](#VERSION)

version 0.01

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

 plugin 'Download::GitLab' => (
   gitlab_user    => 'plicease',
   gitlab_project => 'dontpanic',
 );
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This plugin is designed for downloading assets from a GitLab instance.

# [PROPERTIES](#PROPERTIES)

## [gitlab\_host](#gitlab_host)

The host to fetch from <https://gitlab.com> by default.

## [gitlab\_user](#gitlab_user)

The user to fetch from.

## [gitlab\_project](#gitlab_project)

The project to fetch from.

## [type](#type)

The asset type to fetch. This must be one of "source" or "link".

## [format](#format)

The expected format of the asset. This should be one that Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Negotiate understands. The default is "tar.gz".

## [version\_from](#version_from)

Where to compute the version from. This should be one of "tag\_name" or "name". The default is "tag\_name".

## [convert\_version](#convert_version)

This is an optional code reference, which can be used to modify the version. For example, if tags have a "v" prefix you could remove it like so:

```
 plugin 'Download::GitLab' => (
   gitlab_user     => 'plicease',
   gitlab_project  => 'dontpanic',
   convert_version => sub {
     my $version = shift;
     $version =~ s/^v//;
     return $version;
   },
 );
```

## [link\_name](#link_name)

For "link" types, this is a regular expression that filters the asset filenames. For example, if there are multiple archive formats provided, you can get just the gzip'd tarball by setting this to "qr/\\.tar\\.gz$/".
