Go JIRA API client
Hi folks. So, I was playing around and created a client for JIRA written in Go. It was nice to do some JSON transformation. And sending POSTS was really trivial. It’s still in it’s infancy and I have a couple of more features I want to implement, but, here is the code. package main import ( "bytes" "encoding/json" "flag" "fmt" "io/ioutil" "log" "net/http" "os" "github.com/BurntSushi/toml" ) var configFile = "~/.jira_config.toml" var parameter string var flags struct { Comment string Description string IssueKey string Priority string Resolution string Title string Project string } //Issue is a representation of a Jira Issue type Issue struct { Fields struct { Project struct { Key string `json:"key"` } `json:"project"` Summary string `json:"summary"` Description string `json:"description"` Issuetype struct { Name string `json:"name"` } `json:"issuetype"` Priority struct { ID string `json:"id"` } `json:"priority"` } `json:"fields"` } //Transition defines a transition json object. Used for starting, stoppinp //generally for state stranfer type Transition struct { Fields struct { Resolution struct { Name string `json:"name"` } `json:"resolution"` } `json:"fields"` Transition struct { ID string `json:"id"` } `json:"transition"` } //Credentials a representation of a JIRA config which helds API permissions type Credentials struct { Username string Password string URL string } func init() { flag.StringVar(&flags.Comment, "m", "Default Comment", "A Comment when changing the status of an Issue.") flag.StringVar(&flags.Description, "d", "Default Description", "Provide a description for a newly created Issue.") flag.StringVar(&flags.Priority, "p", "2", "The priority of an Issue which will be set.") flag.StringVar(&flags.IssueKey, "k", "", "Issue key of an issue.") flag.StringVar(&flags.Resolution, "r", "Done", "Resolution when an issue is closed. Ex.: Done, Fixed, Won't fix.") flag.StringVar(&flags.Title, "t", "Default Title", "Title of an Issue.") flag.StringVar(&flags.Project, "o", "IT", "Define a Project to create a ticket in.") flag.Parse() } func (cred *Credentials) initConfig() { if _, err := os.Stat(configFile); err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error using config file: %v", err) } if _, err := toml.DecodeFile(configFile, cred); err != nil { log.Fatal("Error during decoding toml config: ", err) } } func main() { if len(flag.Args()) < 1 { log.Fatal("Please provide an action to take. Usage information:") } parameter = flag.Arg() switch parameter { case "close": closeIssue(flags.IssueKey) case "start": startIssue(flags.IssueKey) case "create": createIssue() } } func closeIssue(issueKey string) { if issueKey == "" { log.Fatal("Please provide an issueID with -k") } fmt.Println("Closing issue number: ", issueKey) var trans Transition //TODO: Add the ability to define a comment for the close reason trans.Fields.Resolution.Name = flags.Resolution trans.Transition.ID = "2" marhsalledTrans, err := json.Marshal(trans) if err != nil { log.Fatal("Error occured when marshaling transition: ", err) } fmt.Println("Marshalled:", trans) sendRequest(marhsalledTrans, "POST", issueKey+"/transitions?expand=transitions.fields") } func startIssue(issueID string) { if issueID == "" { log.Fatal("Please provide an issueID with -i") } fmt.Println("Starting issue number:", issueID) } func createIssue() { fmt.Println("Creating new issue.") var issue Issue issue.Fields.Description = flags.Description issue.Fields.Priority.ID = flags.Priority issue.Fields.Summary = flags.Title issue.Fields.Project.Key = flags.Project issue.Fields.Issuetype.Name = "Task" marshalledIssue, err := json.Marshal(issue) if err != nil { log.Fatal("Error occured when Marshaling Issue:", err) } sendRequest(marshalledIssue, "POST", "") } func sendRequest(jsonStr []byte, method string, url string) { cred := &Credentials{} cred.initConfig() fmt.Println("Json:", string(jsonStr)) req, err := http.NewRequest(method, cred.URL+url, bytes.NewBuffer(jsonStr)) req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json") req.SetBasicAuth(cred.Username, cred.Password) client := &http.Client{} resp, err := client.Do(req) if err != nil { panic(err) } defer resp.Body.Close() fmt.Println("response Status:", resp.Status) fmt.Println("response Headers:", resp.Header) body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body) fmt.Println("response Body:", string(body)) } It can also be found under my github page: GoJira Github. ...
