entities
Contains definitions for the entities in YouTrack that are accessible to workflows.
Types
This module supports the following object types:
Type | Description |
|---|---|
| AbstractVcsItem | Represents VCS-related items such as commits and pull requests. |
| Agile | Represents an agile board and the set of sprints that belong to the board. |
| BaseComment | The base class for issue comment. |
| BaseEntity | The common ancestor for all entity types. |
| BaseWorkItem | The base class for issue work items. |
| Build | Represents a value that is stored in a custom field that stores a build type. |
| BundleProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field in a project that stores an predefined set of values. |
| ChangesProcessor | An entity that retrieves VCS changes and creates their representation in YouTrack. |
| EnumField | Represents a value in a custom field that stores a predefined set of values. |
| Field | Represents a value that is stored in a custom field. The custom fields themselves are represented by the Fields class. |
| Fields | Represents the custom fields that are used in an issue. The actual set of custom fields that are used for each issue is configured on a per-project basis. The properties shown here correspond with the default custom fields in YouTrack. Additional custom fields that have been attached to a project are also available. |
| GroupProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field in a project that stores a UserGroup type. |
| Issue | Represents an issue in YouTrack. |
| IssueAttachment | Represents a file that is attached to an issue. |
| IssueComment | Represents a comment that is added to an issue. |
| IssueFolder | TODO class documentation missing |
| IssueLinkPrototype | Represents an issue link type. |
| IssueTag | Represents a tag. |
| IssueWorkItem | Represents a work item that has been added to an issue. |
| Iterator | An object that enables traversal through the elements in a collection. |
| JsonForIssueAddAttachment | |
| JsonForIssueAddComment | |
| JsonForIssueAddWorkItem | |
| JsonForIssueConstructor | |
| JsonForUserNotify | |
| OwnedField | Represents a value in a custom field that has a user associated with it, a so-called owner. |
| PeriodProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field in a project that stores a value as a period type. We use org.joda.time.Period as a base class for period values. While you can read the class documentation at http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/Period.html, please note that we support only class members which use the Period class and primitive types like String and int. |
| PersistentFile | Represents the common ancestor for all persistent files that are available in YouTrack. |
| Project | Represents a YouTrack project. |
| ProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field that is available in a project. |
| ProjectVersion | Represents a value in a custom field that stores a version type. |
| PullRequest | Represents a pull or merge request that is attached to an issue. |
| PullRequestState | Represents a pull request state. |
| Requirement | A single element in a set of Requirements |
| Requirements | The `Requirements` object serves two purposes. First, it functions as a safety net. It specifies the set of entities that must exist for a rule to work as expected. Whenever one or more rule requirements are not met, corresponding errors are shown in the workflow administration UI. The rule is not executed until all of the problems are fixed. Second, it functions as a reference. Each entity in the requirements is plugged into the `context` object, so you can reference entities from inside your context-dependent functions (like an `action` function). There are two types of requirements: project-wide and system-wide. Project-wide requirements contain a list of custom fields that must be attached to each project that uses the rule as well as the required values from the sets of values for each custom field. System-wide requirements contain a list of other entities that must be available in YouTrack. This includes users, groups, projects, issues, tags, saved searches, and issue link types. |
| SavedQuery | Represents a saved search. |
| Set | The `Set` object stores unique values of any type, whether primitive values or object references. The Set is used as storage for all multi-value objects in this API: custom fields that store multiple values, issue links, issues in a project, and so on. You can access single values in the collection directly (see first(), last(), get(index)), use an iterator (see entries(), values()), or traverse with forEach(visitor) and find(predicate) methods. The workflow API is based on ECMAScript 5.1. This Set implementation mimics the functionality supported by the ES 6 Set interface. |
| SimpleProjectCustomField | Base class for custom fields that store simple values like strings and numbers. |
| Sprint | Represents a sprint that is associated with an agile board. Each sprint can include issues from one or more projects. |
| State | Represents a value in a custom field that stores a state type. |
| TextProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field that stores a string of characters as text. When displayed in an issue, the text is shown as formatted in Markdown. |
| User | Represents a user account in YouTrack. |
| UserGroup | Represents a group of users. |
| UserProjectCustomField | Represents a custom field in a project that stores values as a user type. |
| VcsChange | Represents a commit that is attached to an issue. |
| VcsServer | Represents a VCS server. |
| WatchFolder | Represents a common ancestor of classes that represent tags and saved searches. |
| WorkItemType | Represents a work type that can be assigned to a work item. |
Functions
actionFunction
This function is called by different events depending on the rule type: when a change is applied to an issue (on-change rules), when a command is executed (action rules), or according to a predefined schedule (scheduled rules). This function is called separately for each related issue.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ctx | Object | The execution context. Along with the parameters listed below, the context also contains objects that you describe in the Requirements. |
ctx.issue | Issue | The current issue. |
ctx.currentUser | User | The user who executes the rule. |
ctx.isSilentOperation | Boolean | When `true`, the rule is triggered in reaction to a command that is applied without notification. When `false`, the rule is triggered in reaction to a command that is applied normally. Available since 2017.4.38771. |
Example
guardFunction
This function is called to determine whether an action function can be applied to an issue. Guard functions are used in on-change rules, action rules, and in transitions between values of a state-machine rule. On-schedule rules also support guard functions, but this rule type includes a `search` property that has a similar purpose.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ctx | Object | The execution context. Along with the parameters listed below, the context also contains objects that you describe as Requirements. |
ctx.issue | Issue | The current issue. |
ctx.currentUser | User | The user who executes the rule. |
