Jira widget

The widget shows the number of assigned tickets to the user and when clicked shows them in the list with some additional information. When item in the list is clicked - it opens the issue in browser

How it works

Widget users cURL to query JIRA's REST API. In order to be authenticated, widget uses netrc feature of the cURL, which is basically to store basic auth credentials in a .netrc file in home folder. Don't forget to set file permission to 600.

If you are on Attlassian Cloud, then instead of providing a password in netrc file you can set an API token which is a safer option, as you can revoke/change the token at any time.

Customization

It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:

Name	Default	Description
host	Required	Ex: http://jira.tmnt.com
query	jql=assignee=currentuser() AND resolution=Unresolved	JQL query
icon	~/.config/awesome/awesome-wm-widgets/jira-widget/jira-mark-gradient-blue.svg	Path to the icon

Installation

Clone/download repo and use widget in rc.lua:

local jira_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.jira-widget.jira")
...
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
	{ -- Right widgets
    	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
