Defined in:
lib/jira/base.rb

Overview

This class provides the basic object <-> REST mapping for all JIRA::Resource subclasses, i.e. the Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete lifecycle methods.

Lifecycle methods

Note that not all lifecycle methods are available for all resources, for example some resources cannot be updated or deleted.

Retrieving all resources

client.Resource.all

Retrieving a single resource

client.Resource.find(id)

Creating a resource

resource = client.Resource.build({'name' => '')
resource.save

Updating a resource

resource = client.Resource.find(id)
resource.save('updated_attribute' => 'new value')

Deleting a resource

resource = client.Resource.find(id)
resource.delete

Nested resources

Some resources are not defined in the top level of the URL namespace within the JIRA API, but are always nested under the context of another resource. For example, a JIRA::Resource::Comment always belongs to a JIRA::Resource::Issue.

These resources must be indexed and built from an instance of the class they are nested under:

issue = client.Issue.find(id)
comments = issue.comments
new_comment = issue.comments.build

  @expanded = options[:expanded] || false
  @deleted  = false

  # If this class has any belongs_to relationships, a value for
  # each of them must be passed in to the initializer.
  self.class.belongs_to_relationships.each do |relation|
    if options[relation]
      instance_variable_set("@#{relation.to_s}", options[relation])

    else
      raise ArgumentError.new("Required option #{relation.inspect} missing") unless options[relation]
    end
  end
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Overrides method_missing to check the attribute hash for resources matching method_name and proxies the call to the superclass if no match is found.

def self.belongs_to_relationships
  @belongs_to_relationships ||= []
end

.build(client, attrs) ⇒ Object

Builds a new instance of the resource with the given attributes. These attributes will be posted to the JIRA Api if save is called.

# File 'lib/jira/base.rb', line 113

# File 'lib/jira/base.rb', line 269

def self.collection_attributes_are_nested
  @collection_attributes_are_nested ||= false
end

.collection_path(client, prefix = '/') ⇒ Object

Returns the full path for a collection of this resource. E.g.

JIRA::Resource::Issue.collection_path
  # => /jira/rest/api/2/issue



129
130
131
 
# File 'lib/jira/base.rb', line 129

def self.collection_path(client, prefix = '/')

end

.endpoint_name ⇒ Object

JIRA::Resource::Issue.endpoint_name
  # => issue



121
122
123
 
# File 'lib/jira/base.rb', line 121

def self.endpoint_name
  self.name.split('::').last.downcase
end

.find(client, key, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Finds and retrieves a resource with the given ID.

# File 'lib/jira/base.rb', line 104

def self.find(client, key, options = {})
  instance = self.new(client, options)
  instance.attrs[key_attribute.to_s] = key
  instance.fetch
  instance
end

.has_many(collection, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Declares that this class contains a collection of another resource within the JSON returned from the JIRA API.

class Example < JIRA::Base
  has_many :children
end

example = client.Example.find(1)
example.children # Returns an instance of Jira::Resource::HasManyProxy,
                 # which behaves exactly like an array of
                 # Jira::Resource::Child

The following options can be used to override the default behaviour of the relationship:

:attribute_key

The relationship will by default reference a JSON key on the object with the same name as the relationship.

has_many :children # => {"id":"123",{"children":[{"id":"456"},{"id":"789"}]}}

Use this option if the key in the JSON is named differently.

# Respond to resource.children, but return the value of resource.attrs['kids']
has_many :children, :attribute_key => 'kids' # => {"id":"123",{"kids":[{"id":"456"},{"id":"789"}]}}
:class

The class of the child instance will be inferred from the name of the relationship. E.g. has_many :children will return an instance of JIRA::Resource::HasManyProxy containing the collection of JIRA::Resource::Child. Use this option to override the inferred class.

has_many :children, :class => JIRA::Resource::Kid
:nested_under

In some cases, the JSON return from JIRA is nested deeply for particular relationships. This option allows the nesting to be specified.

# Specify a single depth of nesting.
has_many :children, :nested_under => 'foo'
  # => Looks for {"foo":{"children":{}}}
# Specify deeply nested JSON
has_many :children, :nested_under => ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
  # => Looks for {"foo":{"bar":{"baz":{"children":{}}}}}

def self.has_many(collection, options = {})
  attribute_key = options[:attribute_key] || collection.to_s
  child_class = options[:class] || ('JIRA::Resource::' + collection.to_s.classify).constantize
  self_class_basename = self.name.split('::').last.downcase.to_sym
  define_method(collection) do
    child_class_options = {self_class_basename => self}
    attribute = maybe_nested_attribute(attribute_key, options[:nested_under]) || []
    collection = attribute.map do |child_attributes|
      child_class.new(client, child_class_options.merge(:attrs => child_attributes))
    end
    HasManyProxy.new(self, child_class, collection)
  end
end

.has_one(resource, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Declares that this class contains a singular instance of another resource within the JSON returned from the JIRA API.

class Example < JIRA::Base
  has_one :child
end

example = client.Example.find(1)
example.child # Returns a JIRA::Resource::Child

The following options can be used to override the default behaviour of the relationship:

:attribute_key

The relationship will by default reference a JSON key on the object with the same name as the relationship.

has_one :child # => {"id":"123",{"child":{"id":"456"}}}

Use this option if the key in the JSON is named differently.

# Respond to resource.child, but return the value of resource.attrs['kid']
has_one :child, :attribute_key => 'kid' # => {"id":"123",{"kid":{"id":"456"}}}
:class

The class of the child instance will be inferred from the name of the relationship. E.g. has_one :child will return a JIRA::Resource::Child. Use this option to override the inferred class.

has_one :child, :class => JIRA::Resource::Kid
:nested_under

In some cases, the JSON return from JIRA is nested deeply for particular relationships. This option allows the nesting to be specified.

# Specify a single depth of nesting.
has_one :child, :nested_under => 'foo'
  # => Looks for {"foo":{"child":{}}}
# Specify deeply nested JSON
has_one :child, :nested_under => ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
  # => Looks for {"foo":{"bar":{"baz":{"child":{}}}}}

.singular_path(client, key, prefix = '/') ⇒ Object

Returns the singular path for the resource with the given key. E.g.

JIRA::Resource::Issue.singular_path('123')
  # => /jira/rest/api/2/issue/123

If a prefix parameter is provided it will be injected between the base path and the endpoint. E.g.

JIRA::Resource::Comment.singular_path('456','/issue/123/')
  # => /jira/rest/api/2/issue/123/comment/456
