Subversion Edge Repository Template API

Use this API to get a list of available repository templates, post a new template, or update an existing template.

This API is available with Subversion Edge 2.3.0 (and later).

Note: The following examples show request bodies and responses in JSON format, but XML is equally valid.

GET

GET fetches a list of templates. When creating a repository, you can apply a template by using a template ID from this list.

HTTP method and URL	GET /csvn/api/1/template?format=json&showInactive=true
Parameters	showInactive Optional. Provide this parameter to request all templates, including inactive or hidden ones.
Authentication / Authorization	Repository administrators (ROLE_ADMIN_REPO) and the super user (ROLE_ADMIN)
Response	GET retrieves the list of repository templates in the Subversion Edge instance, providing the ID, name, and description for each. The list of active templates is returned; to have hidden templates returned as well, set the `showInactive` parameter in the query string to true. If the `showInactive` parameter is set to true, the results indicate whether each template is active or not. Example:

PUT

HTTP method and URL	PUT /csvn/api/1/template/2?format=json
Authentication / Authorization	Repository administrators (ROLE_ADMIN_REPO) and the super user (ROLE_ADMIN)
Response	PUT returns the template ID and name. Example:

POST

When posting a new template, or updating an existing template, the request body is presumed to consist of a dump file (application/octet-stream) or a repository archive (application/zip). You can provide name and active query parameters for POST operations.

HTTP method and URL	POST /csvn/api/1/template?format=json&name=My%20New%20Template&active=true
Authentication / Authorization	Repository administrators (ROLE_ADMIN_REPO) and the super user (ROLE_ADMIN)
Response	POST returns the template ID and name. Example:
