A javascript rest api example for adding a JIRA comment text with a png image or just a image file in comments

[Neeraj Bodhe]

Can anyone provide me a code snippet example in js for a JIRA rest api to post a comment in a issue which includes a image as well a text or just a image.

Thanks Tiago,

I was trying this with respect to the onDemand plugin development instance. Below is the code snippet for nodejs

var httpClient = addon.httpClient({
                                    clientKey: req.session.clientKey,
                                    userKey: userkey,
                                    appKey: addon.key
                                });
                httpClient.post({
                    url: '/rest/api/2/issue/issue-key/comment',
                    headers: {
                        'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck',
                        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                        'Accept': 'application/json'
                    },
                    json: {
                        "body":"This is a my comment through rest api",
                    }
                    
                }, function(err, callbackRes, body) {
                     console.log( "body:" + JSON.stringify(body) + "   callbackRes : " + JSON.stringify(callbackRes));
                });

Hi Neeraj,

The simplest way I can imagine adding a comment in a JIRA issue with a png image is with CURL as in the example bellow (reference):

ecrnt-06:~ tcomasseto$ set +H
ecrnt-06:~ tcomasseto$ 
ecrnt-06:~ tcomasseto$ curl -D- -u admin:sphere -X POST --data "{\"body\":\"!https://www.small-improvements.com/images/site/customers/testimonials/atlassian-logo.png!\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://ironman/jira625/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-1/comment

If the image is already attached to the JIRA issue, you can use just the markup !image.png!

I hope it helps.

Cheers
