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://git://github.com/steves/node-jira.git
$ cd node-jira
$ npm install

Example

Find the status of an issue.

JiraApi = require('jira').JiraApi;

var jira = new JiraApi('https', config.host, config.port, config.user, config.password, '2.0.alpha1');
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.

Options

JiraApi options:

• protocol<string>: Typically 'http:' or 'https:'
• host<string>: The hostname for your jira server
• port<int>: The port your jira server is listening on (probably 80 or 443)
• user<string>: The username to log in with
• password<string>: Keep it secret, keep it safe
• Jira API Version<string>: Known to work with 2 and 2.0.alpha1
• verbose<bool>: Log some info to the console, usually for debugging
• strictSSL<bool>: Set to false if you have self-signed certs or something non-trustworthy
