@linear/sdk

What is @linear/sdk?

@linear/sdk is an SDK for interacting with the Linear API, which allows developers to programmatically manage issues, projects, teams, and other resources within the Linear app. It provides a convenient way to integrate Linear's functionalities into your own applications.

What are @linear/sdk's main functionalities?

Authentication

This feature allows you to authenticate with the Linear API using an API key. The LinearClient instance is then used to make further API calls.

const { LinearClient } = require('@linear/sdk');
const client = new LinearClient({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

Create Issue

This feature allows you to create a new issue in a specified team. You need to provide the team ID, title, and description of the issue.

const issue = await client.issueCreate({
  teamId: 'team-id',
  title: 'New Issue',
  description: 'Description of the issue'
});

Fetch Issues

This feature allows you to fetch a list of issues. The issues are returned as an array of nodes, which you can then process or display as needed.

const issues = await client.issues();
console.log(issues.nodes);

Update Issue

This feature allows you to update an existing issue. You need to provide the issue ID and the fields you want to update.

const updatedIssue = await client.issueUpdate('issue-id', {
  title: 'Updated Title',
  description: 'Updated Description'
});

Delete Issue

This feature allows you to delete an existing issue. You need to provide the issue ID, and it returns a success status.

const deleted = await client.issueDelete('issue-id');
console.log(deleted.success);
