Examples
========

List snippets owned by the current user::

    snippets = gl.snippets.list(get_all=True)

List the public snippets::

    public_snippets = gl.snippets.list_public()

List all snippets::

    all_snippets = gl.snippets.list_all(get_all=True)

.. warning::

   Only users with the Administrator or Auditor access levels can see all snippets
   (both personal and project). See the upstream API documentation for more details.

Get a snippet::

    snippet = gl.snippets.get(snippet_id)
    # get the content
    content = snippet.content()

.. warning::

   Blobs are entirely stored in memory unless you use the streaming feature.
   See :ref:`the artifacts example <streaming_example>`.


Create a snippet::

    snippet = gl.snippets.create({'title': 'snippet1',
                                  'files': [{
                                      'file_path': 'foo.py',
                                      'content': 'import gitlab'
                                   }],
                                })

Update the snippet attributes::

    snippet.visibility_level = gitlab.const.Visibility.PUBLIC
    snippet.save()

To update a snippet code you need to create a ``ProjectSnippet`` object::

    snippet = gl.snippets.get(snippet_id)
    project = gl.projects.get(snippet.projec_id, lazy=True)
    editable_snippet = project.snippets.get(snippet.id)
    editable_snippet.code = new_snippet_content
    editable_snippet.save()

Delete a snippet::

    gl.snippets.delete(snippet_id)
    # or
    snippet.delete()

Get user agent detail (admin only)::

    detail = snippet.user_agent_detail()
