Example usage: Set DHCP options

[gavmckee80]

Would it be possible for you to provide an example of the following

Using the API to create a network , set the specific DHCP options of that network (router, DNS servers, domain etc) set the member servers for that DHCP scope and define a range within the scope . How do I gracefully handle a network that already exists , the Python low level API has an update_if_exists flag which is useful

network = objects.Network.create(conn, network_view='default', cidr=cidr,update_if_exists=True,options=options,members=dhcp_members)

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	ibclient "github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-go-client"
)

func main() {
	hostConfig := ibclient.HostConfig{
		Host:     "XXXXXXXX",
		Version:  "2.2",
		Port:     "443",
		Username: "XXXXXX",
		Password: "XXXXXXX",
	}
	transportConfig := ibclient.NewTransportConfig("false", 20, 10)
	requestBuilder := &ibclient.WapiRequestBuilder{}
	requestor := &ibclient.WapiHttpRequestor{}
	conn, err := ibclient.NewConnector(hostConfig, transportConfig, requestBuilder, requestor)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
	defer conn.Logout()

	// No idea what the cmp type or what my tenant id id , so need to work on that
	objMgr := ibclient.NewObjectManager(conn, "", "")

	//Fetches grid information
	fmt.Println(objMgr.GetFixedAddressByRef("fixedaddress/ZG5zLmZpeGVkX2FkZHJlc3MkMTAuMy4yNi4xMDEuMC4u:10.3.26.101/default"))

	net, err := objMgr.CreateNetwork("default", "10.200.0.0/16", false, "Azure prefix (testing)", nil)
	
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
	fmt.Print(net)
	fmt.Print(net.ReturnFields())

Hi @gavmckee80,

As of now, we do not support update_if_exists flag during creation for any of the objects in Go-client. We will consider this as a feature enhancement and try to implement the same before our next release. Workaround for the same would be to Get an object and check if the returned value is nil. If the returned object is nil, then the code would proceed with creation else an update function can be called.
For example, to handle the creation or updation of a network 10.200.0.0/16,

package main
import (
        "fmt"
        ibclient "github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-go-client"
)

func main() {
        hostConfig := ibclient.HostConfig{
		Host:     "XXXXXXXX",
		Version:  "2.2",
		Port:     "443",
		Username: "XXXXXX",
		Password: "XXXXXXX",
        }
        transportConfig := ibclient.NewTransportConfig("false", 20, 10)
        requestBuilder := &ibclient.WapiRequestBuilder{}
        requestor := &ibclient.WapiHttpRequestor{}
        conn, err := ibclient.NewConnector(hostConfig, transportConfig, requestBuilder, requestor)
        if err != nil {
                fmt.Println(err)
        }
        defer conn.Logout()

        objMgr := ibclient.NewObjectManager(conn, "", "")
        
        setEas := ibclient.EA{"Location" : "Test loc.", "Site" : "Test site"}
        getNet, err := objMgr.GetNetwork("netViewName", "10.200.0.0/16", false, nil)
        if getNet != nil {
                updateNet, err := objMgr.UpdateNetwork(getNet.Ref, setEas, "updated comment")
                if err != nil {
                        fmt.Println(err)
                }
                fmt.Println(updateNet)
        } else {
                createNet, err := objMgr.CreateNetwork("netViewName", "10.200.0.0/16", false, "comment", setEas)
                if err != nil{
                        fmt.Println(err)
                }
                fmt.Println(createNet)
        }
}
