jiraprinter
As a JIRA user, I want to be able to print out my current sprint's stories, so that I can post them on a physical Kanban board.
Background
While JIRA has a UI for tracking and interacting with the current sprint's stories, teams easily become distracted while using it together — the group ends up huddled around a laptop arguing about the best way to filter the search query, or getting lost in unimportant details. Sometimes low-tech solutions can be the most powerful: physical cards representing the stories.
This is a very simple app that queries JIRA to list all of the stories in the team's current sprint, and provide an HTML page with print-optimized CSS rules.
Each story is printed out as a half-page (US Letter) card, with the Story number, the summary, and the priority. As a bonus, a QR code is provided which will take you directly to the story from your smartphone.
Usage
with Docker
You can run jiraprinter in Docker:
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 -e JIRA_PASS -e JIRA_USER=me -e JIRA_HOST=myjira.example.com hairyhenderson/jiraprinter
Or, you can use npm
to install it:
install
$ npm install -g jiraprinter
run it!
$ jiraprinter --help
Usage: jiraprinter [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-u, --user [username] The JIRA username ($JIRA_USER)
--password [password] The JIRA password ($JIRA_PASS)
-h, --host [host] The JIRA hostname ($JIRA_HOST)
--printQR [printQR] Whether to include an issue link QR code in the print out ($PRINT_QR) - defaults to true
-f, --fieldOverrides [fieldOverrides] Comma (,) seperated list of fields to replace with custom field names (e.g. "-f estimation:fields.customfield_1,name:fields.custom_field2")
--boardName [boardName] Filter boards by name
$ jiraprinter -h myjira.example.com -u me
You should probably only ever use $JIRA_PASS
, and not the --password
flag!
Now, connect with your browser at http://localhost:3000, select your board, and when the UI's fully populated with your stories, print the page!
