# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
# scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

# In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
# the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
$sbToken = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$sbToken->LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8");

# ---- Step 1
# Create the JSON body of the PATCH request that will be sent.
# This specifies labels to be added, updated, and/or deleted.
# (To delete a label, set its value equal to null.)

# {
#   "labels": {
#     "new_label_key": "new_label_value",
#     "existing_label_key": "updated_label_value",
#     "old_label_key": null
#   }
# }

# ---------
# Important
# ---------
# You can apply multiple labels to each bucket, with a maximum of 64 labels per bucket.

#     - Keys and values cannot be longer than 63 characters each.
#     - Keys and values can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. International characters are allowed.
#     - Label keys must start with a lowercase letter and international characters are allowed.
#     - Label keys cannot be empty.

# Build JSON to update labels.
# 
# During the testing of this example, my bucket already has the following labels:
# {
#  "labels": {
#   "test1": "xyz",
#   "test": "abc",
#   "a": "abc"
#  }
# }

# For this example, I'm going to add a label "b", delete the label "test1", and update
# the label "test".
$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$json->UpdateString("labels.b","bbb");
$json->UpdateString("labels.test","abc123");
$json->UpdateNull("labels.test1");

# ---- Step 2
# Send a PATCH equivalent to this curl command

# curl -X PATCH --data-binary @[JSON_FILE_NAME].json \
#     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
#     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
#     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]?fields=labels"

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();
$http->put_AuthToken($sbToken->getAsString());

$http->SetUrlVar("bucket_name","chilkat-ocean");
$url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}?fields=labels";
# resp is a HttpResponse
$resp = $http->PText("PATCH",$url,$json->emit(),"utf-8","application/json",0,0);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$responseCode = $resp->get_StatusCode();
if ($responseCode == 401) {
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
    print "If invalid credentials, then it is likely the access token expired." . "\r\n";
    print "Your app should automatically fetch a new access token and re-try." . "\r\n";

    exit;
}

# Note: A 400 response code is likely caused by illegal characters used for a label name and/or value.

print "Response code: " . $responseCode . "\r\n";
print "Response body" . "\r\n";
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";

# A response code = 200 indicates success, and the response body contains the JSON
# for the new/updated set of labels
# Response code: 200
# Response body
# {
#  "labels": {
#   "test": "abc123",
#   "a": "abc",
#   "b": "bbb"
#  }
# }
