jira.nvim

A neovim interface to Jira.

Goals

• Maximalism - an all-encompassing interface to Jira vs. tiny lib.
• Integration - integrate with popular neovim plugins for an enhanced UX. Telescope, etc.

Non-goals

Vim compatibility.

🚨 Currently a work in progress!

Please follow along with the initial release discussion for an overview of the project's status.

⚡️ Requirements

• Instead of using the Jira API directly in all cases, this plugin leverages the jira-cli tool to interact with Jira. You'll need to install it and configure it with your Jira credentials in order to use some of the features of this plugin.

📦 Installation

Use your favourite plugin manager to install it. eg:

Using packer.nvim

use {
  'kid-icarus/jira.nvim',
  requires = {
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
    'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
  }
  config = function ()
    require'jira'.setup() -- see configuration section
  end
}

Using lazygit.nvim

{
  'kid-icarus/jira.nvim',
  dependencies = {
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
    'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
  },
  opts = {}, -- see configuration section
}

⚙️ Configuration

First of all, you'll need to create a personal Jira API token.

By default, jira.nvim is configured a to use few environment variables you'll need to set them or override them in setup order to use the plugin:

• JIRA_USER - Your atlassian username
• JIRA_API_TOKEN - Your personal API token
• JIRA_DOMAIN - The domain of your Jira instance, i.e. example.atlassian.net

require'jira'.setup({
  jira_api = {
    domain = vim.env.JIRA_DOMAIN,
    username = vim.env.JIRA_USER,
    token = vim.env.JIRA_API_TOKEN
  },
  use_git_branch_issue_id = true,
  git_trunk_branch = 'main', -- The main branch of your project
  git_branch_prefix = 'feature/', -- The prefix for your feature branches
})

🤖 Commands

There is only an Jira [arguments] command.

Object	Action	Description
issue	view [issue_id]	View the given issue, if none provided it will attempt to extract one out of the current git branch (disabled via use_git_branch_issue_id), else falls back to a prompt
	transition [transition_name] [issue_id]	Transition the ticket to a given status. Will attempt to extract issue ID from git branch, and will prompt if no options given
	create	Create a new issue. Will prompt for all required fields. It will also prompt you to create a branch with the created issue ID in the name.

Additionally, the transition command has a Telescope picker.

Mappings

There are no default mappings, but you can create your own. Here's an example:

local t = require 'telescope'
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>jv', '<cmd>Jira issue view<cr>', {})
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>jt', t.extensions.jira.transitions, {})
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>jc', '<cmd>Jira issue create<cr>', {})
