NAME
   Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::JIRA - Access JIRA via IRC!

VERSION
   This POD describes version 0.02

SYNOPSIS
   You will need to load the module into your instance:

       $bot->load('JIRA');

   Then feel free to interrogate the shit out of her:

       <diz> purl: what's going on with PRJ-284?
       <purl> diz: PRJ-284 (add jira support to bot) is unresolved - http://jira.domain.com/issue/284
       <diz> purl: who fixed PRJ-284?
       <purl> diz: gphat marked PRJ-284 as fixed in changeset bbb6a0f9

CONFIGURATION
 uri
   The location of the JIRA instance. (Ex, http://jira.domain.com)

 username
   User to authenticate against JIRA with. This is configured in JIRA. Note
   that the user will need permissions to view issues in order to send
   getIssue requests over the SOAP interface.

 password
   The password to use for the user during authentication. Also setup in
   JIRA (or LDAP if you're using the LDAP linkage).

 db_dsn (optional)
 db_user (optional)
 db_pass (optional)
   The SOAP API in JIRA is hit or miss. It exposes functionality that I'll
   never use while omitting other functionality that makes the API seem
   downright useless.

   One of the particular egregious omissions happens to be the lack of a
   remote interface for retrieving the ChangeHistory for an issue. If,
   however, you configure db_dsn, db_user, and db_pass, this module will
   attempt to extract that information directly from the database. This
   isn't recommended and has only been tested with 4.1.2.

 status_verbs
   The default inquiry format reports issue status by referring to the last
   status change in the past tense. By default, the reply uses "changed to"
   prepended to the status name. Instead of this, you may want the bot to
   respond using more colloquial language. You may do this by setting
   status_verbs to a hashref mapping status names to status verb phrases.
   (ie, { Open => 'opened' }) Any missing pairs default to "changed to".

 status_colors
   This one is fun. You may map issue status names to individual IRC colors
   by setting status_colors to a hashref containing the map. The following
   colors are understood:

   * bold

   * white

   * black

   * blue

   * green

   * red

   * brown

   * purple

   * orange

   * yellow

   * light_green

   * teal

   * cyan

   * light_blue

   * pink

   * gray

 formats
   Inquiry responses may be custom formatted. The formats configuration
   item is expected to be a hashref containing key/value pairs for each
   class of inquiry. The format is rendered using Text::Xslate. Several
   convienient xslate functions have also been provided. In addition to a
   function for each of the individual color names above, the following
   functions are available:

   * colorize

     colors the given text according to the configured status_colors

   The RemoteIssue object returned by JIRA::CLient is the root context of
   the template rendering, with the following keys added to the hashref:

   * issue (shortcut for key)

   * version (shortcut for the first fixVersion listed)

   * status_name (the issue's current status)

   * status_verb (the issue's current status in the past tense)

   If you've enabled the DBI options above, these are also available to
   you:

   * status_last_changed_user (user that most recently changed the issue
     status)

   * status_last_changed_datetime (DateTime object for the most recent
     status change)

   More details on the RemoteIssue object may be found in the JIRA docs:

   http://docs.atlassian.com/rpc-jira-plugin/4.1-1/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/s
   oap/beans/RemoteIssue.html

   Most all accessors methods on the RemoteIssue object are available in
   the stash as keys of the hashref. For example, getAssignee may be
   accessed in xslate like:

       <: $assignee :>

   The getComponents method, which returns a list of components, may be
   accessed using similar perl/xslate idioms:

       <: $components.0 :>

   The default inquiry format is:

       <: colorize($issue) :> [<: $version :>] <: bold($summary) :> for <: $assignee :>

   which produces replies such as:

       <purl> PRJ-284 [Unscheduled] add jira to bot for diz

   The default status format is:

       <: $issue :> [<: $version :>] was <: $status_verb :> by <: $status_last_changed_user :> on <: $status_last_changed_datetime.strftime("%Y %b %d (%a) at %l:%M %P") :>

   which produces replies such as:

       <purl> PRJ-284 [Unscheduled] was closed by diz on 2010 Sep 13 (Mon) at  1:26 pm

BUGS
   Probably a lot of them. The test suite does nothing beyond what
   Module::Starter already provides.
