Overview

This node operation performs a search query on Conan packages using the GitLab API. It is useful for users who want to find specific Conan packages hosted on GitLab by specifying search criteria. For example, a developer looking for a particular version or type of Conan package can use this node to retrieve matching packages efficiently.

Use Case Examples

  1. Searching for Conan packages with names starting with 'Hello' using the query parameter 'q=Hello*'.
  2. Using the node to integrate Conan package search into a CI/CD pipeline to automate dependency resolution.
