Add ability to create sha256 project through using the GitLab API

Vasilii Iakliushin requested to merge 419887_add_sha256_repositories_support_for_api into master

What does this MR do and why?

Contributes to #419887 (closed)

Problem

For future support of SHA256 repositories we don't have a way to create a project via API.

Solution

  • Adjust Projects::CreateService interface to accept object_format instead of use_sha256_repository
  • Extend allowed parameters for Project creation API

How to set up and validate locally

Projects API

  1. Visit http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v4/projects
  2. You should see a new field repository_object_format in the response

Creation of the project

  1. Feature.enable(:support_sha256_repositories)
  2. curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <PRIVATE_TOKEN>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"name": "sha256_project", "description": "New Project", "repository_object_format": "sha256", "initialize_with_readme": "true"}' "http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v4/projects"
  3. You should see a new project with SHA256

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
