Pathoschild.FluentJira

A strongly-typed, fluent HTTP client for JIRA's REST API using the .NET 4.5 HttpClient.

This is an early development version.

Usage

This client is an extension of Pathoschild.FluentHttpClient, so you can execute any HTTP request against the API and get a strongly-typed response. The structures returned by the client look like the actual API responses, so the JIRA API documentation is entirely relevant.

Example

// create client
IClient client = new Client("https://example.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/"); // there's an optional overload for username & password

// retrieve an issue
 Issue issue = client
    .Get("issue/EXAMPLE-14")
    .RetrieveAs<Issue>();

// use the data
string summary = issue.Fields.Summary; // "This is an example issue title"
string estimate = issue.Fields.TimeTracking.RemainingEstimate; // "2d 4h"
int estimateSeconds = issue.Fields.TimeTracking.RemainingEstimate; // 187200

// really use the data
string emailOfFirstCommenter = issue.Fields.Comments.Comments.First().Author.EmailAddress;

Self links

The client also recognizes the Self URLs that link to further information on an object. For example, this code gets all the information for the user who posted the above issue:

// this is the issue we have above
Issue issue = ...;

// it already basic user information
User basicUser = issue.Fields.Assignee;
string username = basicUser.Name;
string email = basicUser.EmailAddress;

// but you can also retrieve the full description
User user = client
    .Get(basicUser.Self)
    .RetrieveAs<User>();

string timeZone = user.TimeZone; // "America/Montreal"
IEnumerable<string> groups = user.Groups.Items.Select(p => p.Name); // ["administrators", "developers", "users"]
