Gitlab Google Chat Integration

A Python Flask web application that forwards webhook requests from GitLab to Google Chat.

Installation

ggci is available as a Python package on PyPI. It can be installed via standard package managers in Python, e.g. pip:

pip install ggci

Usage

ggci provides a standard Flask application factory create_app():

from ggci import create_app

app = create_app()

For how to use this application factory refer to the official Flask documentation.

Configuration

There are several ways how ggci can be configured.

YAML config (default)

By default create_app() looks for a YAML configuration file specified by GGCI_CONFIG environment variable. Example config:

ggci_secret: xxxxxxx

user_mappings:  # OPTIONAL, used for mentions; key: GitLab ID, val: Google Chat ID
  5894317: 120984893489384029908  # Gandalf
  4985120: 109238409842809234892  # Chuck Norris

Config Object

Alternatively, create_app() also accepts optional argument config of type ggci.Config.

from ggci import Config, create_app

config = Config(
    ggci_secret='xxxxxxx',
    user_mappings={
        5894317: 120984893489384029908,  # Gandalf
        4985120: 109238409842809234892,  # Chuck Norris
    },
)

app = create_app(config=config)
