get-trello-action-type

Determine the granular "type" of a Trello action.

When a Trello webhook POSTs to your server, the payload contains an "action" with a designated "type". However, the action's type can be a little too high-level and abstract for one's tastes / use cases.

For example, moving a card between two lists is classified by Trello as an updateCard action type, and so is simply renaming a card. Wouldn't it be nice if the type was something more meaningful like moveCardBetweenLists or renameCard?

This package analyzes the structure of an action to find out its low-level, granular type.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

$ npm install get-trello-action-type

Usage

Example:

import { getTrelloActionType, trelloActionTypes } from "get-trello-action-type";

let action = { ... };
let type = getTrelloActionType(action);

console.log(type === trelloActionTypes.RENAME_CARD);
