How to integrate Lovable with JIRA?

Setting Up the JIRA Integration Dependency

Because Lovable doesn’t have a terminal, you must load the external dependency for making HTTP requests directly via a CDN.
Open your main HTML file (for example, index.html) in your Lovable project.
Add the following script tag inside the <head> or before the closing </body> tag to include Axios:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

This will make the Axios library available globally so you can use it in your TypeScript code.

Creating a New Jira Integration File

Create a new file in your project root or in a designated folder (for example, /services) named jiraIntegration.ts.
This file will contain all the code needed to interact with the JIRA API.

Writing the JiraService Class

In jiraIntegration.ts, add the following TypeScript code which defines a JiraService class that handles creating issues in JIRA. Adjust the placeholders with your actual JIRA base URL, username, and API token.


// Define the interface for creating a JIRA issue
interface JiraIssue {
  fields: {
    project: {
      key: string;
    };
    summary: string;
    description: string;
    issuetype: {
      name: string;
    };
  };
}

class JiraService {
  private baseUrl: string;
  private authHeader: string;
  constructor() {
    // Replace 'your-domain.atlassian.net' with your actual JIRA domain
    this.baseUrl = 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3';
// Replace the email and API token with your credentials
const email = '[email protected]';
const apiToken = 'your-api-token';

// Create a Base64 encoded authentication header
this.authHeader = 'Basic ' + btoa(email + ':' + apiToken);

  }
  // Method to create an issue in JIRA
  public async createIssue(issue: JiraIssue): Promise {
    const url = ${this.baseUrl}/issue;
    try {
      // Use Axios which was added via CDN (accessible as window.axios)
      const response = await window.axios.post(url, issue, {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': this.authHeader,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      });
      console.log('JIRA Issue Created:', response.data);
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error creating JIRA issue:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
}
// Example usage:
const jiraService = new JiraService();
const newIssue: JiraIssue = {
  fields: {
    project: {
      key: 'TEST' // Replace with your project key
    },
    summary: 'Example issue created from Lovable integration',
    description: 'Detailed description of the issue goes here.',
    issuetype: {
      name: 'Task' // Could be Bug, Story, etc.
    }
  }
};
// Call the createIssue method when needed (for instance, upon an event)
jiraService.createIssue(newIssue)
  .then(data => {
    // Process the returned issue data
    console.log('Issue created successfully:', data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    // Handle errors
    console.error('Failed to create issue:', err);
  });

This code uses Axios (loaded from the CDN) to call the JIRA API’s issue endpoint. It sets the authorization header using Basic authentication. Make sure to fill in your actual JIRA domain, email, API token, and project key.

Integrating JiraService with Your Lovable Project

If your Lovable project already includes a global initialization or event handling file, you can import and use the JiraService where necessary.
If your project supports modules, you can export the JiraService by adding an export statement at the end of jiraIntegration.ts like so:


export default JiraService;

Then, in the file where you want to trigger the JIRA issue creation (for example, after a user submits a form), import and use the service. For example:


// In your event handling file (e.g., main.ts or app.ts)
import JiraService from './services/jiraIntegration';

const jiraService = new JiraService();
// Function to handle form submission that creates a JIRA issue
function onFormSubmit() {
  const issueData = {
    fields: {
      project: { key: 'TEST' },
      summary: 'Issue from Lovable integration',
      description: 'Description provided by the user or system.',
      issuetype: { name: 'Task' }
    }
  };
  jiraService.createIssue(issueData)
    .then(response => {
      // Provide feedback to the user after successfully creating the issue
      alert('Issue created successfully in JIRA!');
    })
    .catch(error => {
      // Handle any errors that occur during the API call
      alert('Error creating issue. Check console for details.');
    });
}

Ensure that your event (for example, a button click) calls the onFormSubmit function as needed.

Final Notes and Verification

Double-check all placeholder values such as JIRA domain, email, API token, and project key.
Ensure that the Axios library is loaded by verifying that the script tag in your HTML is correct.
Test the integration by triggering the issue creation functionality from within your Lovable project. Monitor the browser console for logs and error messages.
