YAJAW - Yet Another Jira API Wrapper

YAJAW is an intuitive Python library designed to simplify interactions with Atlassian's JIRA APIs. Aimed at developers, data analysts, and project managers, Yajaw facilitates seamless integration of JIRA's extensive API offerings into your Python projects with ease of use, concurrency support, and efficient handling of paginated resources.

Features

• Functional Paradigm: Designed with a preference for functional programming to handle data-centric operations efficiently.
• Concurrent Pagination: Handles paginated resources concurrently, speeding up data retrieval.
• Ease of Access: Interact with both supported and unsupported JIRA REST APIs.
• Simple Configuration: Easy setup with a TOML configuration file.
• Dual Support: Supports both synchronous and asynchronous programming styles.

Quickstart

1. Installation

   Ensure you have Python 3.11 or later before installing Yajaw. The package can be installed via pip using the following command:

   pip install yajaw

2. Configuration

   Yajaw requires a dedicated configuration directory named .yajaw, located in your home directory. To ascertain the path to your home directory, run this Python script:

   from pathlib import Path
   
   print(Path.home())

   Should the .yajaw directory be absent, Yajaw will automatically create it and the necessary configuration files on first run. You are still responsible for providing your specific JIRA instance settings.

   To configure, navigate to your home directory, open the .yajaw folder, and edit the yajaw.toml file. It contains default settings that you'll need to modify:

   [jira]
   token = "YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
   base_url = "https://your-jira-domain.com"
   server_api_v2 = "rest/api/2"
   agile_api_v1 = "rest/agile/1.0"
   greenhopper_api = "rest/greenhopper/1.0"
   
   [retries]
   tries = 10
   delay = 0.0
   backoff = 2.0
   
   [requests]
   timeout = 60
   
   [concurrency]
   semaphore_limit = 50
   
   [pagination]
   page_results = 40

   Adjust the token and base_url with the correct values for your JIRA environment. If necessary, these adjustments can also be executed programmatically using the yajaw.configuration module. For further instructions, refer to the User Guide.

3. Basic Usage

   The fundamental use of Yajaw involves importing the yajaw.jira module and calling one of its functions. For example:

   from yajaw import jira
   
   projects = jira.fetch_all_projects()
   
   # Displays <class 'list'>
   print(type(projects))
   # Displays the type of each accessed project, which is <class 'dict'>
   print(*[type(project) for project in projects], sep="\t")
   
   # Ensure to replace "ABC" with a valid project key
   project = jira.fetch_project(project_key="ABC")
   # Displays <class 'dict'>
   print(type(project))

   An asynchronous code example for fetching projects can be written as follows:

   import asyncio
   from yajaw import jira
   
   async def main():
       projects = await jira.async_fetch_all_projects()
   
       # Displays <class 'list'>
       print(type(projects))
       # Displays the type of each accessed project, which is <class 'dict'>
       print(*[type(project) for project in projects], sep="\t")
   
       # Ensure to replace "ABC" with a valid project key
       project = await jira.async_fetch_project(project_key="ABC")
       # Displays <class 'dict'>
       print(f"Type: {type(project)}")
   
   asyncio.run(main())
