About

Just some very crude but functional sample code for consuming the JIRA REST API from a Node.js client.

Getting Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Ensure you have Node.js installed.
3. Install package depenencies by running the following from the command line within this directory: npm install

Running the script

Retrieve an issue (in JSON format)

Syntax

node jira.js [host] [Issue ID or Key] get

Example

node jira.js jira.mydomain.com PROJ-101 get

Retrieve the value of a specific field

Syntax

node jira.js [host] [Issue ID or Key] get-field [field name]

Example

node jira.js jira.mydomain.com PROJ-101 get-field summary

Update the value of a field

Syntax

node jira.js [host] [Issue ID or Key] update-field [field name]

Example

node jira.js jira.mydomain.com PROJ-101 update-field summary "New summary of issue"

Options

Disable SSL certificate validation

WARNING: Using this option is not advisable. SSL certificates should be properly signed, or steps should be taken to configure specific certificates on the client when necessary.

Syntax

node jira.js [arguments] --validate-ssl-cert=false

Example

node jira.js jira.mydomain.com PROJ-101 get --validate-ssl-cert=false
