The GiGaSdk provide an easy access to the https://giga.gg/ api. It includes a c++ library and a small cli executable : GiGaSdk -h

Are you new to the GiGaSdk ? To get going, we recommend you start by playing around on https://giga.gg The more you know about the web app GiGa.GG, the easier it will be to use the GiGaSdk.

Most of the documentation is :

• this file you are reading :)
• the reference documentation: http://gigagg.github.io/index.html
• some examples: here
• the main file: here

The GiGaSdk uses the GiGa.GG rest-like API, and authenticate via oauth2. You can create an 'app' at https://giga.gg/app to get your oauth2 client id and secret.

#include <giga/Application.h>

using giga::Application;
using utility::string_t;

int main(int, char**)
{
    auto& app = Application::init(
                        string_t(U("http://localhost:5001")),
                        string_t(U("1142f21cf897")),
                        string_t(U("65934eaddb0b233dddc3e85f941bc27e")));

    auto owner = app.authenticate(U("test_main"), U("password"));

    ucout << U("Hello ") << owner.login() << U(" your id is ") << owner.id() << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

There are more examples here

The Sdk entry point is the giga::Application class. You will need to init the Application with your oauth2 credentials. Then you have to log-in using your giga login/password. The SDK does not allows to create a new account.

You should only need stuff from the giga::core namespace :

• giga::core::User represents a user. It can have UserRelations with other users (contact, invitation ...)
• giga::core::Node represents a file or a Folder. This is a virtual class. FileNode and FolderNode inherite from it.
• The giga::core::Uploader and giga::core::Downloader classes allows you to control upload and downloads

Inside the GiGaSdk, the concurrency is done via the cpprestSdk and the pplx::task<T> class.

The GiGaSdk is not thread-safe

The default type of string is different on Windows and Unix. By default Windows uses std::wstring and utf16 char, Unix uses std::string and utf8 char. GiGaSdk eavily uses the Microsoft cpprestsdk (casablanca). So it uses the same solution:

• utility::string_t is a wstring on Window and a string on linux
• the macro U("...") will resolve to l"..." on Windows
• cf: #include <cpprest/details/basic_types.h>

• cmake >= 2.8
• openssl >= 1.0.0
• boost >= 1.54
• libcurl >= 7.46
• casablanca
• curlcpp
• crypto++

# installing dependancies
sudo apt-get install g++ git make libboost1.54-all-dev libssl-dev cmake

# optional dependency
sudo apt-get install libwebsocketpp-dev

# getting the sources
git clone https://github.com/gigagg/GiGaSdk.git
cd GiGaSdk
git submodule update --init

# compiling casablanca
cd vendors/casablanca/Release/
mkdir build.release
cd build.release/
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
sudo make install
cd ../../../..

# compiling crypto++
cd vendors/cryptopp/crypto++/

• Make sure cmake and git are install and in the PATH
• Get the sources using git at http://gitlab.giga.gg/t.guyard/GiGaSdk.git
• Get the dependencies:
  • Open visual studio project vendors/VS2015/get_dependencies.sln.
  • Generating the solution should get the dependencies via the NuGet package manager, and copy them in the right folder.
• Compile curl_cpp:
  • In a visual studio command prompt go to vendors/curlcpp/build
  • Use cmake to build the project: cmake .. -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="../VS2015/deps/Debug/lib" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="../VS2015/deps/" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="../../VS2015/deps/" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug OR for a release build: cmake .. -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="../VS2015/deps/Release/lib" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="../VS2015/deps/" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="../../VS2015/deps/" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
  • Open the generated solution file generate the main project
  • Generate the INSTALL project.
• Compile cryto++
  • Go to vendors/cryptopp/crypto++
  • open the .sln file
  • Generate the solution (select release for a release build)
• Compile the GiGaSdk:
  • In a visual studio command prompt go to build
  • cmake .. OR for a release build cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
  • use the generated vs project to build GiGaSdk
