Create the following 2 files...

config/custom-environment-variables.json

{
  "jtools": {
    "auth": {
      "user": "JTOOLS_AUTH_USER",
      "token": "JTOOLS_AUTH_TOKEN"
    },
    "api": {
      "url": "JTOOLS_API_URL",
      "version": "JTOOLS_API_VERSION"
    }
  }
}

config/default.json

{
  "jtools": {
    "api": {

      "path": "/rest/api/",
      "version": "2"

  }
}

AUTHENTICATE

You can authenticate using the cli method above, or you can simply set the following env vars

1. JTOOLS_AUTH_USER=[JIRA_EMAIL]
2. JTOOLS_AUTH_TOKEN=[base64(JIRA_API_TOKEN)]
3. JTOOLS_API_URL=https://[YOUR_SUBDOMAIN].atlassian.net
4. (optional) JTOOLS_API_VERSION=3 (default: 2) - You can also change the default in default.json instead

IMPLEMENTATION

const Jira = require('jira-tools');
Jira.getIssues({
  jql: 'status = "In Progress"',
  startAt: 0,
  maxResults: 20'
}).then(json => {
  console.log(json); //get your issues
});

Note: This is a very simple wrapper to make API calls a bit easier. I implement the methods as I need them for my use cases. This is not an exahaustive list of methods available via the JIRA api. If you'd like to see a method added, please send a Pull Request or Open an Issue.
