**go-backstage** is a Go client library for accessing the
[Backstage REST API](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/software-catalog-api).

The library provides a convenient and easy-to-use interface to access and manipulate data from the Backstage. This library handles
the low-level details of making HTTP requests and parsing responses, allowing developers to focus on building their application logic.

## Installation

With Go installed, run the following to add the package to your project, along with its dependencies:

```bash
go get github.com/datolabs-io/go-backstage/v3
```

Alternatively, you can add import the package as following and run `go get` to install it:

```go
import "github.com/datolabs-io/go-backstage/v3"
```

## Usage

Add the package to your project as following:

```go
import "github.com/datolabs-io/go-backstage/v3"
```

Once imported, create a new Backstage API client to access different parts of Backstage API:

```go
client, err := backstage.NewClient(baseURL, "default", nil)
```

If you want to use a custom HTTP client (for example, to handle authentication, retries or different timeouts), you can pass it as the
third argument:

```go
httpClient := &http.Client{}
client, err := backstage.NewClient(baseURL, "default", httpClient)
```

The client than can be used to access different parts of the API, e.g. get the list of entities, sorted in specific order:

```go
entities, response, err := c.Catalog.Entities.s.List(context.Background(), &ListEntityOptions{
        Filters: []string{},
        Fields:  []string{},
        Order:   []ListEntityOrder{{ Direction: OrderDescending, Field: "metadata.name" },
    },
})
```

Refer to [examples](./examples) directory for more examples.
