Preparation

Configure in GitLab Developer Settings (opens new window) and Authing Console (opens new window).


Integrate GitLab Login

Step 1: Add GitLab dependency

  1. Enter: https://github.com/Authing/authing-binary in the swift package search bar.

  2. Select Authing-binary (opens new window).

Authing-binary (opens new window) depends on Guard-iOS SDK (opens new window).

  1. Select Up to Next Major Version 1.0.0 for the dependency rule.

  2. Check GitLab after Add Package.

GitLab depends on Guard-iOS 1.4.3 (opens new window) later.


Step 2: Initialize GitLab login

import Guard
import GitLab

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
     Authing.start(<#AUTHING_APP_ID#>)
     // appId: GitLab ClientID
     // redirectURI: GitLab authorization callback page
     // scope: empty by default
     GitLab.register(appId: <#your_gitlab_appid#>, redirectURI: <#your_gitlab_redirecturi#>, <#your_gitlab_scope#>)
}

Step 3: Initiate GitLab login authorization

GitLab Authorized Login

func login(viewController: UIViewController, completion: @escaping Authing.AuthCompletion) -> Void

parameter

  • viewController UIViewController hosting the view

example

GitLab.login(viewController: <#ViewController#>) { code, message, userInfo in
     if (code == 200) {
         // login successful
         // userInfo
     }
}

If the developer integrates GitLab login by himself, after getting the AuthorizationCode, he can call the following API in exchange for Authing user information:

Login via GitLab authorization code

func loginByGitLab(_ code: String, completion: @escaping(Int, String?, UserInfo?) -> Void)

parameter

code GitLab authorization code

example

AuthClient().loginByGitLab(authCode) { code, message, userInfo in
     if (code == 200) {
         // userInfo: user information
     }
}
