Examples

.. danger::

    Creating an invitation with ``create()`` returns a status response,
    rather than invitation details, because it allows sending multiple
    invitations at the same time.
    
    Thus when using several emails, you do not create a real invitation
    object you can manipulate, because python-gitlab cannot know which email
    to track as the ID.
    
    In that case, use a **lazy** ``get()`` method shown below using a specific
    email address to create an invitation object you can manipulate.

Create an invitation::

    invitation = group_or_project.invitations.create(
        {
            "email": "email@example.com",
            "access_level": gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER,
        }
    )

List invitations for a group or project::

    invitations = group_or_project.invitations.list(get_all=True)

.. warning::

    As mentioned above, GitLab does not provide a real GET endpoint for a single
    invitation. We can create a lazy object to later manipulate it.

Update an invitation::

    invitation = group_or_project.invitations.get("email@example.com", lazy=True)
    invitation.access_level = gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER
    invitation.save()

    # or
    group_or_project.invitations.update(
        "email@example.com",
        {"access_level": gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER}
    )

Delete an invitation::

    invitation = group_or_project.invitations.get("email@example.com", lazy=True)
    invitation.delete()

    # or
    group_or_project.invitations.delete("email@example.com")
