JavaScript JIRA API for node.js
A node.js module, which provides an object oriented wrapper for the JIRA REST API.
This library is built to support version 2.0.alpha1
of the JIRA REST API.
This library is also tested with version 2
of the JIRA REST API.
It has been noted that with Jira OnDemand, 2.0.alpha1
does not work, devs
should revert to 2
. If this changes, please notify us.
JIRA REST API documentation can be found here
Installation
Install with the node package manager npm:
$ npm install jira
or
Install via git clone:
$ git clone git://github.com/steves/node-jira.git
$ cd node-jira
$ npm install
Examples
Create the JIRA client
JiraApi = require('jira').JiraApi;
var jira = new JiraApi('https', config.host, config.port, config.user, config.password, '2.0.alpha1');
Find the status of an issue
jira.findIssue(issueNumber, function(error, issue) {
console.log('Status: ' + issue.fields.status.name);
});
Currently there is no explicit login call necessary as each API call uses Basic Authentication to authenticate.
Get an issue remote links
Returns an array of remote links data.
jira.getRemoteLinks(issueKey, function(err, links) {
if (!err) {
console.log(issueKey + ' has ' + links.length + ' web links');
}
});
Create a remote link on an issue
Returns an array of remote links data.
// create a web link to a GitHub issue
var linkData = {
"object": {
"url" : "https://github.com/steves/node-jira/issues/1",
"title": "Add getVersions and createVersion functions",
"icon" : {
"url16x16": "https://github.com/favicon.ico"
}
}
};
jira.createRemoteLink(issueKey, linkData, function (err, link) {
});
