Friendly JIRA REST API wrapper in R

This package is an extension of https://github.com/awalker89/Rjira written by Alexander Walker and splits off of his version 0.1.1

This package is created to work on the API version 2 of Atlassian Jira REST API

To install the package, use

• devtools::install_github("libPhipp/Rjira", ref="dev"), and
• library(RJira), to load the package into your R session.

At the moment, the most convenient way to connect to a JIRA instance is:

library(Rjira)
jira <- jira(scheme = "https", host = 'localhost', user='username', pass='secret')
jira %>% get_projects() %>% 
         select(...) %>% 
         mutate(...)

• Version 0.2.1

  • The project has switches from RJSONIO to jsonlite. A few of the reasons are shown e.g. here: (https://rstudio-pubs-static.s3.amazonaws.com/31702_9c22e3d1a0c44968a4a1f9656f1800ab.html) Moreover, jsonlite is now also used to parse JIRA responses and not only requests.

  • Added testing of this package using testthat

  • Added .onUnload to remove possible side effects

  • The API support has been extended to supply

    • maxResults
    • startAt

• Version 0.2.2

  • get_issues now has an automated depagination

  • default values for user/password/project/... are now stored in a connection object

• Might like to add oauth soon
• Write vignettes
