How to create issue types on addon installation on jira cloud.

DonPerera

Im currently trying to create custom issue types on addon installation, is there any way i can listen to events like in the jira server (life cycle events).Im writing the plugin using Spring boot connect app framework.

@DonPereraYou can do that. Here is brief idea,

Upon installation of add-on Jira call spicific url defined in module descriptor file (atlassian-connect.json)
- This looks like this
- ```
"lifecycle": {
  "installed": "/installed"
}
```
- You can learn about lifecycle module on this page (look for Lifecycle heading) - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/app-descriptor/
Now in this call you will get all the details of instance to call API that you wish
- Make sure you have appropriate scope (i.e. ADMIN) to do such operation
- About scopes - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/scopes/
You can call create issue-type api on this provided site

@DPKJ

Can you post a sample method signature for the particular , i tried with admin scope but it goes and hits on the following

Mapped to public org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity<java.lang.Void> com.atlassian.connect.spring.internal.lifecycle.LifecycleController.installed(com.atlassian.connect.spring.internal.lifecycle.LifecycleEvent,com.atlassian.connect.spring.AtlassianHostUser)

not to the endpoint i defined.

Thanks!!!

@DonPerera Two things,

You don't have to create a controller for this, as atlassian-connect-spring-boot comes with LifecycleController that deal with endpoints like '/installed', '/uninstalled'.
You have to listen to the Custom Spring Application Events (i.e. AddonInstalledEvent, AddonUninstalledEvent) generated by LifecycleController, to do something after add-on installation.
- You can read about this on give page in "Reacting to add-on lifecycle events" section - https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-connect-spring-boot/src/master/

If you are not familiar with listening to custom events in Sprint framework, checkout this,

https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/core.html#context-functionality-events-annotation

Your sample method code will look like this,

@EventListener
public void processAddonInstalledEvent(AddonInstalledEvent event) {
//Do event processing here
}

make sure you put this method in a bean.

Happy coding!!!

DonPerera

@DPKJ Thank you very much.

Works like a charm.

@Component
public class EventManager {

@EventListener
public void processAddonInstalledEvent(AddonInstalledEvent event) {
  //logic
}

@EventListener
public void processAddonUninstalledEvent(AddonUninstalledEvent event) {
  //logic
}
