Format as JSON?

[mhanberg]

Hi!

This tool looks really cool. I am curious if it is possible to format output as JSON? I am interested in writing a JIRA completion source for Neovim, and being able to work with JSON output would make that very easy.

Thanks!

@mhanberg this CLI tool is created for a different purpose (mostly for day-to-day work with jira using TUI) and adding json output will just complicate things. For json output, you can use tools like httpie or curl to call the API directly.

http GET https://<server>/rest/api/2/issue/ISSUE-1 --auth "<user>:${JIRA_API_TOKEN}"

I still see value on a --json output, it would make it easy for a user to create scripts, reusing the already existing configuration for jira-cli.

Currently I am doing things like:

jira_user=$(grep login: ~/.config/.jira/.config.yml | sed 's/login: //')
jira_auth="${jira_user}:${JIRA_API_TOKEN:-}"

api_call() {
    curl --silent \
        --user "$jira_auth" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -X "$1" \
        "https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/3/$2"
}
