Support for Jira about vscode-github-issue-notebooks HOT 4 OPEN

@jrieken I could contribute this, please let me know if this is a feature that you would welcome.

from vscode-github-issue-notebooks.

Not a Jira export, so please help me understand what it would mean to support Jira. In this extension we have few pieces

• a language service that understand GH query syntax like label:foo is:open type:pr etc
• GH based completions and validation for non static parts of the GH query syntax like milestones, teams, label
• a notebook provider that saves said language cells and markdown cells
• a notebook kernel that can execute these queries

Does Jira use the same language as github? Would you do a jira language service and then teach the notebook kernel how the execute jira queries?

from vscode-github-issue-notebooks.

jira uses jql. So this will be a jql language service and kernel implementation to execute jira querries and rendering. So a complete 3rd language in addition to markdown and GH.

That sounds interesting but also like a serious effort. Currently, this extension is still changing a lot because we are still refining the notebooks API and its inner workings. It's somewhat our test and proofing extension for language related features in notebooks and keeping it lean helps us during this time.

I'd suggest the following. How about developing a jql language service as separate extension. It will then be trivial to embed jql into this notebook and we still keep things loosely coupled. What's then missing is a kernel that knows how to execute jql.
