Quickstart

Install:

pip install Flask-JIRA-Helper

Example:

# example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.jira import JIRA

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['JIRA_SERVER'] = 'https://jira.mycompany.com'
app.config['JIRA_USER'] = 'jdoe'
app.config['JIRA_PASSWORD'] = 'SuperSecretP@ssw0rd'
jira = JIRA(app)

print jira.projects()

Factory Example

# extensions.py
from flask.ext.jira import JIRA

jira = JIRA()

# application.py
from flask import Flask
from extensions import jira

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config['JIRA_SERVER'] = 'https://jira.mycompany.com'
    app.config['JIRA_USER'] = 'service'
    app.config['JIRA_PASSWORD'] = 'SuperSecretP@ssw0rd'
    jira.init_app(app)
    return app

# manage.py
from application import create_app

app = create_app()
app.run()

Configuration

Flask-JIRA-Helper subclasses jira.client.JIRA and adds the init_app() method for delayed initialization (for applications that instantiate extensions in a separate file, but run init_app() in the same file Flask() was instantiated).

The following config settings are searched for in the Flask application’s configuration dictionary:

• JIRA_SERVER – URL to JIRA server.

• JIRA_USER – HTTP Basic authentication user name.

• JIRA_PASSWORD – HTTP Basic authentication password.

• JIRA_TOKEN – OAuth authentication access token.

• JIRA_SECRET – OAuth authentication access token secret.

• JIRA_CONSUMER – OAuth authentication consumer key.

• JIRA_CERT – OAuth authentication key certificate data.

• JIRA_IGNORE_INITIAL_CONNECTION_FAILURE – Ignore ConnectionError during init_app() for testing/development.
