      token = "your-api-token",                   -- Your Jira API token or PAT
      type = "basic",                             -- Authentication type: "basic" (default) or "pat"
      limit = 200,                                -- Global limit of tasks per view (default: 200)
    },
  },
}

Configuration

require('jira').setup({
  -- Jira connection settings
  jira = {
    base = "https://your-domain.atlassian.net", -- Base URL of your Jira instance
    email = "your-email@example.com",           -- Your Jira email (Optional for PAT)
    token = "your-api-token",                   -- Your Jira API token or PAT
    type = "basic",                             -- Authentication type: "basic" (default) or "pat"
    limit = 200,                                -- Global limit of tasks per view (default: 200)
  },

  -- Saved JQL queries for the JQL tab
  -- Use %s as a placeholder for the project key
  queries = {
    ["Next sprint"] = "project = '%s' AND sprint in futureSprints() ORDER BY Rank ASC",
    ["Backlog"] = "project = '%s' AND (issuetype IN standardIssueTypes() OR issuetype = Sub-task) AND (sprint IS EMPTY OR sprint NOT IN openSprints()) AND statusCategory != Done ORDER BY Rank ASC",
    ["My Tasks"] = "assignee = currentUser() AND statusCategory != Done ORDER BY updated DESC",
  },

  -- Project-specific overrides
  -- Still think about this config, maybe not good enough
  projects = {
    ["DEV"] = {
      story_point_field = "customfield_10035",      -- Custom field ID for story points
      custom_fields = { -- Custom field to display in markdown view
        { key = "customfield_10016", label = "Acceptance Criteria" }
      },
    }
  }
})

Alternatively, you can set Jira credentials using environment variables, which takes precedence over config:

export JIRA_BASE_URL="https://your-domain.atlassian.net"
export JIRA_EMAIL="your-email@example.com"
export JIRA_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export JIRA_AUTH_TYPE="basic" # or "pat"

Supported environment variables:

• JIRA_BASE_URL - Base URL of your Jira instance
• JIRA_EMAIL - Your Jira email (Optional for PAT)
• JIRA_TOKEN - Your Jira API token or PAT
• JIRA_AUTH_TYPE - Authentication type: "basic" (default) or "pat"
