HAProxy Native Golang Client

HAProxy Native Client is a client that exposes methods for reading and changing HAProxy configuration files, and executing commands and parsing the output of the HAProxy Runtime API (via unix socket, AKA stats socket in HAProxy). It uses the models package to shift data around.

Usage Example

// Initialize HAProxy native client
confClient := &configuration.Client{}
confParams := configuration.ClientParams{
    ConfigurationFile:      "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg",
    Haproxy:                "/usr/sbin/haproxy",
    UseValidation:          true,
    PersistentTransactions: true,
    TransactionDir:         "/tmp/haproxy",
}
err := confClient.Init(confParams)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error setting up configuration client, using default one")
    confClient, err = configuration.DefaultClient()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error setting up default configuration client, exiting...")
        api.ServerShutdown()
    }
}

runtimeClient := &runtime_api.Client{}
globalConf, err := confClient.GetGlobalConfiguration("")
if err == nil {
    socketList := make([]string, 0, 1)
    runtimeAPIs := globalConf.Data.RuntimeApis

    if len(runtimeAPIs) != 0 {
        for _, r := range runtimeAPIs {
            socketList = append(socketList, *r.Address)
        }
        if err := runtimeClient.Init(socketList, "", 0); err != nil {
            fmt.Println("Error setting up runtime client, not using one")
            return nil
		}
    } else {
		fmt.Println("Runtime API not configured, not using it")
		runtimeClient = nil
	}
} else {
    fmt.Println("Cannot read runtime API configuration, not using it")
    runtimeClient = nil
}

client := &client_native.HAProxyClient{}
client.Init(confClient, runtimeClient)

bcks, err := h.Client.Configuration.GetBackends(t)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
//...

backendsJSON, err := bcks.MarshallBinary()

if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
}

fmt.Println(string(backendsJSON))
//...
