J2M

JIRA to MarkDown text format converter

Convert from JIRA text formatting to GitHub Flavored MarkDown and back again. Just because I got tired of reformatting text between GitHub (PR's) and JIRA.

Library

Installation

The J2M library is available via bower (for frontend usage) and npm (for node usage):

$ bower install J2M --save

$ npm install j2m --save

Usage

J2M exposes 2 methods: toJ and toM for converting to Jira markup and to markdown.

• J2M.toJ(markdown : string) : string
• J2M.toM(jira : string) : string

Usage Example:

var J2M = require('J2M');

var input = '## cool markdown';
var jira = J2M.toJ(input);
var markdownAgain = J2M.toM(jira);

CLI

J2M is also available as a command line utility.

Installation

$ npm install -g j2m

Usage

$ j2m [--toM|--toJ] [--stdin] $filename 

Options: 
--toM, -m:    Treat input as jira text and convert it to Markdown 
--toJ, -j:    Treat input as markdown text and convert it to Jira 
--stdin:      Read input from stdin. In this case the give filename is ignored 

Usage Example

# convert notes to jira markup and copy it to the clipboard (mac)
j2m --toJ notes.md | pbcopy

# retrieve some file in jira markup and save it as markdown
curl http://someserver.com/jira.txt | j2m --toM --stdin > notee.md

Roadmap

I hope to extend TiCons with the following features:

• Add as much syntax support as time allows me and need drives me :)

Feel free to mail me or fork the code and send a pull-request.
