trello-usable-json

Reduces the ridiculous amount of JSON from trello into the bits you want.

You don't want 150kb of JSON data. You want an array of card strings for each board.

UPDATE

How about you use the trello api; I'm probably not going to maintain this...

cli

• Pipe in your JSON from trello. E.g. 'curl https://trello.com/b/6xbOmILH.json'. (To curl, I think the board must be public. You might have to save the file from your browser and pipe it in with cat on linux, and type on windows.)
• It pipes out some JSON that is usable.
• Wheeeeee!

npm install trello-usable-json --global

examples

curl

$ curl https://trello.com/b/6xbOmILH.json | trello-usable-json
{ "my first list": [
    "a card"
  ], "another list": [
    "cards",
    "CARDS!!!"
  ] }

cat (on windows use type instead of cat)

$ cat 6xbOmILH.json | trello-usable-json --archived
{ "my first list": [
    "a card",
    "an archived card"
  ], "another list": [
    "moar cards of archivedness",
    "cards",
    "this one was archived too...",
    "CARDS!!!"
  ], "even another list": [
    "if every card in a list is archived",
    "(like these cards were), then the",
    "list won't show up; cuz it's empty!",
    "note the previous example doesn't have this list."
  ] }

api

npm install trello-usable-json

var usable = require('trello-usable-json')

usable(stream, [showArchived,] cb)

• stream of trello's JSON data. (Readable.)
• showArchived is whether or not to show archived cards. Defaults to false.
• cb is the callback with the following parameters:
  • err is null or an Error object
  • obj is the finished object.

var usable = require('trello-usable-json')
var request = require('request')
 
var stream = request('https://trello.com/b/6xbOmILH.json')
usable(stream, function (err, obj) {
    //ignore err
    Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (board) {
        console.log('BOARD: ' + board)
        obj[board].forEach(function (card) {
            console.log('card: ' + card)
        })
    })
})
