Node.js Config Proxy for Jira API

Welcome to the Config Proxy application

The goal of this application is to proxy Jira API calls from a calling client. These calls surface a discrete set of endpoints and call using a specific service account.

In addition to proxying these specific calls we want to create an endpoint on our proxy that fetches a specific ticket and then makes a subsequent API call based upon the data in that ticket, returning that payload back to the calling client.

Requirement:

• node.js only
• Validate a calling user's credentials for all inbound calls. This can be done by first calling to the "myself" endpoint at /rest/api/2/myself
• Restrict calling user's capabilities to a discrete, configurable set of Jira endpoints
• Create an endpoint called /api/getConfig that
  • Retrieves a Jira ticket with the following criteria:
    • Type: Configuration
    • Status: Open
    • Name: App Config
  • parses JSON in the description field
  • Calls the screens tabs endpoint for tabs at /rest/api/2/screens/{screenId}/tabs for each screen Id found in the ticket payload
  • Iterates through the tabs and calls the screens tabs endpoint for fields at /rest/api/2/screens/{screenId}/tabs/{tabId}/fields
  • Returns an aggregate payload of the screens with their tabs & fields to the calling user
  • Errors from any step in the process should be returned to the user as HTTP 500 level responses
• No UI is required
• Unit tests are required for this application

Configuration ticket payload:

{
  "configuration":
  { 
    "screenId": "10105", 
    "issueType":"1" 
  }
}
