go-jira cannot be used as a library. about jira HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey,

Yeah, I have been meaning to refactor the code a bit to allow it to be used a client library rather than just cli tool. CmdList specifically has been already tweaked to call FindIssues and call a template with the results. The output of most Cmd* funcs are almost entirely controlled with templates, but it probably makes sense to have the jira webservice logic to be in isolated routines and then the Cmd* funcs would just call the appropriate jira webservice routines.

I also want to tweak the layout of the project so that the code can more easily be imported as a golang library. If you want to put together a PR to separate the jira webservice interactions from the template generation logic that would be great. After I can merge that in I will move the code around so that import "github.com/coryb/go-jira" imports the jira package. I have done this with a few other projects, but just have not gotten around to go-jira.

Thanks!

Hey, it might make more sense for me to tweak the layout of the project before you play with refactoring it. I could probably get it done in the next day or so, but if you have already started then it would probably complicate your PR/merge.

Nope, haven't started yet - prob will start in earnest after Xmas. So yep, if you can knock a branch together that reflects how you'd like it shaped, I can help out :)

Okay, I have moved the files around a bit to make it more like a conventional golang import library. You would be able to use import "github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira" and use the jira package in your golang project. The change is 7268b9e, and pushed to master.

To build it just use make and/or make clean. I obviously need to add tests, but have not had a chance yet.

Created #22 to address my needs here.

Closing this, cos I am using it as a library now!
