JQL Editor for Connect

This package allows Connect app developers to render a JQL Editor component to enable autocomplete-assisted authoring and validation of JQL queries. The component is pre-configured to fetch autocomplete data from Jira REST API's.

Usage

A minimal configuration of the JQL editor is as follows:

import { useCallback } from 'react';
import { JQLEditorConnect } from '@atlassianlabs/jql-editor-connect';

const MyJQLEditor = () => {
  const onSearch = useCallback((jql: string) => {
    // Do some action on search    
  }, []);
  
  return (
    <JQLEditorConnect
      query={''}
      onSearch={onSearch}
      locale={"en"} 
    />
  );
};

Installation

yarn add @atlassianlabs/jql-editor-connect

Documentation

JQLEditorConnect is a thin wrapper on top of the @atlassianlabs/jql-editor package. Refer to the JQL editor documentation to see what other configuration options are available.

Connect scopes

The JQL editor uses Jira Cloud REST API's to fetch autocomplete data which requires the READ scope in your app descriptor. For example:

{
    "baseUrl": "http://my-app.com",
    "key": "atlassian-connect-app",
    "scopes": ["read"],
    "modules": {}
}

What's missing?

This package does not yet support the same feature set available to the JQL editor used in Jira. The key exclusions are:

1. User lozenges
   • The API's required to translate Atlassian account ID's to user display names is not yet available to third parties.
2. Simplified loading of localised messages
   • Currently, to show non-english messages, consumers need to import the appropriate message set for the user's locale and render an IntlProvider in the React tree with the imported data. In the long term we'd like these localised messages to be loaded automatically based on the provided locale.

We intend to make these features available to third party apps in future but there is currently no roadmap/timeline for inclusion.

Support
