# Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::GitLab(3pm)

Alien::Build plugin to download from GitLab

## NAME

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

## VERSION

version 0.01

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use alienfile;

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

## DESCRIPTION

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

## PROPERTIES

### gitlab\_host

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

### gitlab\_user

The user to fetch from.

### gitlab\_project

The project to fetch from.

### type

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

### 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

Where to compute the version from.  This should be one of `"tag_name"` or `"name"`.  The default is `"tag_name"`.

### 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

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$/"`.
