JIRA CLOUD API - OAuth (1.0a) &&& Basic HTTP - POST Method

[Armin Babaei]

I've been trying to create a form using JIRA CLOUD APIs to POST data and create Issues using React App, I have came to the conclusion that the only way to accomplish this using OAuth (1.0a) and/or Basic HTTP is to create a custom ExpressJs middleware. 

With both authentication methods I'm able to GET data from JIRA, however I've been really struggling to find the right solution to POST data to JIRA.

I tried Atlassian-Connect as well. 

Here is what I have so far for POST

app.get('/issue', function(req, res) {

  var html = '<form action="/issue" method="post">' +
               'summary:' +
               '<input type="text" name="summary" placeholder="summary" />' +
               '<br>' +
               'description:' +
               '<input type="text" name="description" placeholder="description" />' +
               '<br>' +
               '<button type="submit">Submit</button>' +
            '</form>';

  res.send(html);
});

app.post('/issue', function(req, res){
  var consumer = new OAuth(
      base_url+"/plugins/servlet/oauth/request-token",
      base_url+"/plugins/servlet/oauth/access-token",
      "fnkey",
      fs.readFileSync('./jira.pem', 'utf8'), //consumer secret, eg. fs.readFileSync('jira.pem', 'utf8')
      '1.0',
      "http://localhost:3000/jira/callback",
      "RSA-SHA1"
  );

  var summary = req.body.summary;
  var description = req.body.description;

  // var html = 'summary: ' + summary + '.<br>' + 'description: ' + description + '.<br>' +
  //            '<a href="/issue">Got it.</a>';
  //
  // res.send(html);

  params = {
    "fields": {
       "project":
       {
          "key": "BG"
       },
       "summary": summary,
       "description": description,
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
       }
     }
  }

  function callback(error, data, resp) {
      console.log(data);
      data = JSON.parse(data);
      console.log("data,", data, "error,", error);
      return res.send(data);
  }

  consumer.post(base_url+"/rest/api/2/issue",
      "access_token", //authtoken
      "secret", //oauth secret
      params,
      "application/json", 
      callback);
});
