A FastBoot App Server notifier for GitLab build artifacts

FastBoot GitLab Notifier

This notifier for the FastBoot App Server works with GitLab Builds to poll for new successful builds for a specified ref / branch.

To use the notifier, configure it with your GitLab API token and your repo:

const FastBootAppServer = require('fastboot-app-server');
const GitLabNotifier    = require('fastboot-gitlab-notifier');

let notifier = new GitLabNotifier({
  url:      'https://gitlab.com',           // Gitlab host e.g self hosted, defaults to https://gitlab.com
  token:    '1_A23CtFvGnsgdqwLPYZ',         // your Gitlab private token
  repo:     'my-app/ember.js',              // name of your repo
  branch:   'master',                       // optional, defaults to 'master'
  job:      'build',                        // optional, defaults to 'build'
  poll:     60 * 1000                       // optional polling interval, defaults to 60 * 1000 i.e every minute
});

let server = new FastBootAppServer({
  notifier: notifier
});

When the notifier starts, it will poll the API for the specified repository and branch. Once a new successful build is found, it will tell the FastBoot App Server to fetch the latest version of the app.
