JQL Editor
This package allows consumers to render an advanced JQL editor component to enable autocomplete-assisted authoring and validation of JQL queries.
Usage
To render the editor, the consumer must configure an autocompleteProvider
, which defines callback functions used to
retrieve JQL fields, functions and values. To ease configuration, we also ship the
@atlassianlabs/jql-editor-autocomplete-rest
package, which wraps these callbacks and provides simple hooks to delegate
to Jira REST API's.
A minimal configuration of the JQL editor is as follows:
import { useCallback } from 'react';
import { JQLEditorAsync as JQLEditor } from '@atlassianlabs/jql-editor';
import { useAutocompleteProvider } from '@atlassianlabs/jql-editor-autocomplete-rest';
const getInitialData = async (url: string) => {
const response = await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ includeCollapsedFields: true })
});
const data = response.json();
return {
jqlFields: data.visibleFieldNames,
jqlFunctions: data.visibleFunctionNames,
};
};
const getSuggestions = async (url: string) => {
const response = await fetch(url);
return response.json();
};
const MyJQLEditor = () => {
const autocompleteProvider = useAutocompleteProvider('my-app', getInitialData, getSuggestions);
const onSearch = useCallback((jql: string) => {
// Do some action on search
}, []);
return (
<JQLEditor
analyticsSource={'my-app'}
query={''}
onSearch={onSearch}
autocompleteProvider={autocompleteProvider}
locale={"en"}
/>
);
};
For app developers, please refer to the @atlassianlabs/jql-editor-connect
and @atlassianlabs/jql-editor-forge
packages. Which come pre-configured with Jira autocomplete integration.
Installation
yarn add @atlassianlabs/jql-editor
Documentation
Searching and authoring JQL
There are two main use cases for the editor:
- Searching by a JQL query
- Authoring a JQL query
The key difference between the two is that rendering a search button may not make sense when authoring JQL, e.g. when using the JQL editor as a form input. The searching use case is documented above, here we'll discuss authoring.
Authoring JQL
Hiding the search button is as simple as not providing an onSearch
prop. Instead you'll want to use onUpdate
which
is triggered whenever the query is updated.
By default, the editor will automatically show any syntax errors when the user presses search. Without the search button the consumer will need to set errors to show manually.
import { useCallback, useMemo, useState } from 'react';
import { Jast, JQLParseError } from '@atlassianlabs/jql-ast';
import { JQLEditorAsync as JQLEditor, ExternalError } from '@atlassianlabs/jql-editor';
import debounce from 'lodash/debounce';
const MyJQLEditor = () => {
const [errors, setErrors] = useState<ExternalError[]>([]);
const debounceSetErrors = useMemo(() => {
// Update our errors after a 1 second debounce
return debounce((parseErrors: JQLParseError[]) => {
// Format JQL parse errors to be shown as custom error messages in the editor
const errorMessages: ExternalError[] = parseErrors.map(({ description }) => ({
message: description,
type: 'error',
}));
setErrors(errorMessages)
}, 1000);
}, [setErrors]);
const onUpdate = useCallback((jql: string, jast: Jast) => {
debounceSetErrors(jast.errors)
}, []);
return (
<JQLEditor
analyticsSource={'my-app'}
query={''}
onUpdate={onUpdate}
messages={errors}
autocompleteProvider={/* ... */}
locale={"en"}
/>
);
};
Using the same API, the editor may also show warning and info messages:
const [messages] = useState<ExternalMessage[]>([
{ type: 'error', message: `I'm an error message`} as ExternalError,
{ type: 'warning', message: `I'm a warning message`} as ExternalWarning,
{ type: 'info', message: `I'm an info message`} as ExternalInfo,
]);
return (
<JQLEditor
{/* ... */}
messages={messages}
/>
);
Its worth mentioning that messages are rendered by the priority and only a single type of messages could be present on UI at once.
So in the example above, only an error message will be rendered.
